30-year-old Odessa Clay, a tattoo
artist in North Carolina gave her eleven-year-old daughter a tattoo of a small
heart on her right shoulder. She had given the girl the tattoo last year, but
wasn’t arrested until late September. Clay told the TV station that she thought
her daughter could have a tattoo as long as she had her parent’s permission. “I
didn’t fill it in,” she said, adding that her daughter wasn’t in any pain. What
do you think? Would you let your 11-year-old child get a tattoo?

I think the mother deserves punishment because she doesn't have the consent of her child to do this. And even if she did you cant permanately tattoo an 11 year old just because she wants it.
ReplyDeleteThat child could have not wanted the tattoo and maybe even forced to get it. The child could also grow up to hate the tattoo or even suffer from it. The mother should have though more deeply before doing something so simple minded.
ReplyDeleteI read about this earlier and i do think the mother deserves to be punished, even if my daughter wanted a tatoo at age 11 theres no way I would EVER let her get one, let alone give her one myself!! this woman is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI saw this and I think that the parent should have a say to whether or not their child gets a tatoo if it's reasonable. They decide on body jewelry. BUT I do think that a child shouldn't decide on a tatoo because they have to grow up with that following them around for the rest of their lives.

i would let my daughter have a tattoo, but with their consent and if they come to the appropriate age. This mother has gotten out of control. Although the daughter had "permission" from her mother, the daughter herself did not give consent.

ReplyDeleteThe mother might of not meant any harm, but giving an eleven year a tattoo is very wrong!
ReplyDeletehe girl shouldn't have recieved a tattoo at such and early age, but it is legal for a child to get a tattoo if their gaurdian consnest and signs a form i think.
ReplyDeleteOkay yes, you only need parental consent to get a tattoo but what if the child didn't want a tattoo and now she has to live with that for the rest of her life!!!!!
