Split up parents, moms trying to sue dad for letting me get a tattoo at 16?

You're dad may have let you get a tattoo, but did he also talk to your mother about it? Do they have joint custody or does your dad have full custody of you?

if they have joint custody over you, then it would be a bad idea to get a tattoo without the written permission of both parents. Many states have laws like this that do not allow minors to get a tattoo or piercing without permission from their parents. She may be able to sue if they have joint custody and your mother didn't agree on a tattoo.

A tattoo is also a big decision you must be absolutely sure you want your tattoo because it stays with you for life, you're putting a permanent mark on your body unless you get it removed, which is painful, can be expensive and may leave scars after removal.

I personally don't believe tattoos are a good thing, I wouldn't want my kid to get one, So I can't help agreeing with your mom.
