Just to make everyone aware that in the state of Florida, the papers for letting your underage child gt a tattoo are only required to be signed by one(1) parent. If the papers only ask for one signature, by law, only one parent has to sign them.

Although 2 parents share "joint custody", the primary residence parent is responsible for all decision regarding that child. The primary parent can ask the other for advice, opinions, etc., but has every right in the world to make sole decisions wheter or not the other parent agrees. The other parent can contest it legally, but the decision falls back on the decision maker. Especially if in past cases the primary parent has proved the other "unfit" to be more involved because they have proved to not give "clear" thought to major decisions.

All in all, the decision maker cannot be sued!!!:cool:

Well she is right about the only needing one signature. If she would have stopped writing after that sentence she would have been ok.

I am a 45 year old man with tattoos all over his body and if my kids ever came home with a tattoo I'ld skin them alive. If their mother allowed this I'ld skin her.:confused:
A 16 year old you let get scarred for life, you are nuts! Wrong Wrong Wrong:eek:
Just my opinion.:)

Ya know, I have a couple of tats. Not huge ones, easily covered with normal clothing, not offensive in any way, etc. I got the first when I was 18 and the second about 5 years ago... and I'd never in a million years let my kids get tattooed at 16. If my ex thought it would be ok (he's residential parent), I'd moider him. We're talking PERMANENT here, not pierced ears or bleached hair. It's even more permanent than allowing a 16 year old girl to get breast implants... would you do THAT?

Craziness.

I have three tats. And like yours, mine can be hidden easily with clothes. I got my first one Dec 2001, the second May 2003 and the last one July 2004. Until my children reach the age 18, they will not be getting a tattoo.

I suppose that opinion makes me grateful I live in CA ~ Where they take joint legal custody seriously. :rolleyes:

Either way, regardless of state, in my HOME- the age is 18. :cool:
