How do I convince my parents to let me get a tattoo?

So, I'm almost fifteen, and I really want to get a tattoo, but I don't want to wait until I'm 18. My parents are pretty against the whole idea of putting anything permanent on your body, and they say it will make it really hard to get a job when I get older, but personally, I don't care. By the time I'm old enough to get a job where it might matter, it won't matter anymore ( not that I'd want that kind of job anyways). They seem to think that I only want to get it so I look "cool" or " rebellious" or to get girls to like me more, but that's no the reason at all. I either want to get the words 'forever faithful' on my right hip, where I used to hurt myself, to remind myself that no matter how bad the moment seems, or how hopeless I feel, I can have faith that something or someone will come along and make me feel better, or the Trinity Knot over my heart with the three tips representing love, joy, and hope, and the center representing my spirit/soul, to remind me that those three things are always within reach and that I need to keep those ideas close to me no matter what anyone or anything does to me or how I feel at any given moment. I don't want to get it to look 'cool', I want to get it to keep me from forgetting the most crucial concepts to my happiness and to prevent me form relapsing to self harm even when I'm feeling my worst. I don't want to get anything too big or extravagant yet, maybe when I'm older, but how do i convince my parents to let me get it? I would be willing to pay for the whole thing and all that, but I don't want to wait another three years.

I don't know why everyone is such a negative nancy about tattoos. I think you have a really good tattoo idea and it isn't something that's going to "go out of style" or whatever everyone says.

My parents were the same way though, I just had to wait till I was 18.
By the way, I didn't change my mind like everyone thought I would. I got an anchor.

I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you to change your parents minds! :/

It was well worth the wait. Good luck :)

Can Someone help give me ideas for a tattoo?

My dad has always been my best friend, and his birthday is coming up soon, so i was thinking about getting a Daddy's Girl tattoo but i didnt want it to be the traditional looking tattoo. I need some help thinking of an idea. My dad is a welder/mechanic and loves working hard. I could only think of getting a wrench twisted into a heart with Daddy's girl written in script accross it. But does anyone have any better ideas?

Answer
the best thing to do is to go to a tattoo artist ( a good one, someone that you feel totally comfortable with) and tell them what you want and give them a little bit of an idea and they'll fly with it. thats what i did for my tattoo. my grandfather died last year and he was a sailor. i wanted something to remember him by without the name and dates and stuff. i told the guy what i was looking for ,which pretty much was an anchor with a wheel in the middle. it came out exactly what i wanted even though i didnt have a huge detailed idea. also, when getting one dont let them bully you, its on your body and make them make it how you want!

good luck wth your tattoo =)
