All over the United States of America parents are arguing with teens on why they should not get tattoos and piercings. But no one is stating why teens should be allowed to get them except for teens themselves. Teens in grades 7-9 have started to get piercings and they should be allowed to get these piercings and tattoos for many reasons. In getting piercings and tattoos, they won't get diseases, they can find themselves, and also so they can learn how to make their own decisions.
One major reason teens should be allowed to get tattoos without parental consent is so that they won't get harmful diseases. i know this because when teens don't get their parents consent they end up going to an “underground” body art faker or end up doing it themselves, this can be harmful. In article “how old is enough” by Sean McCullum he states “ Body art fakers care more about the money they pocket then they do protecting the nerves in a young person's mouth or keeping people free of hepatitis B or other diseases” this shows on how parents not giving teens concent effects on their effect on their health, If parents wouldn't need to give them consent then they would go to a real body artist and would be safe of these harmful diseases In the article the author also uses Jo Kaplan, president of the professional tattoo artist guild states’ “that's why i think the state laws should be 16 to keep kids from doing [tattooing] themselves and going underground dungeons and getting disease” Teens should be allowed to get Tattoos and Piercings from professionals without parent permission, this way they will not be harmed from diseases. Also in article “how old is old enough” Sean McCollum states “and tattoos done by amateurs are bad news all the way round. Chances are they’ll look lousy. and they can leave a person SICK or scared” this shows why Teens should have parent consent on getting tattoos or they can get harmed/sick from these amateurs
Speaking of diseases, there are so many that teens can contract from going to these unprofessional places, For example Infection unsterile tattooing equipment and needles can transmit infectious diseases such as hepatitis, hepatitis can be transmitted through sharing of needles, this can occur in unprofessional tattoo shops where tools are not cleaned properly. The risk of infection is the reason the american association of blood banks requires a one year between getting a tattoo and donating blood. Another disease you can contract is granules, you can contact this infection also from unsterilized needles.In Artical “Inked or INfected” by Jeffery Kreisberg he talks about how you can get hepitists C and he states “While sharing needles during illegal drug use is the biggest risk factor for contracting hepatitis C, there are increasing numbers of cases caused by some very common activities including tattooing, piercings, manicures and pedicures.” This shows how fastly this can spread that why in unprofessional tattoo and piercing shops the con artist really only care about collecting the money and not what happens to the teens, that's why parents should give there kids permission so the teen could go to professional places and not have to go to underground places that you don't need parental consent, these places should be banned and taken out of the states
One other reason teens should be allowed to get a tattoo and piercings are so they can find themselves, i know this because in article “How Young is too Young?” John. A Haynes states “i dont regret my tattoos each one reminds me of where i was at in a certain stages of my life and mind set he also states “ it's like keeping a scrapbook only my body is not collection dust somewhere taking up space” when teens can get tattoos they will learn how to figure out what they like find themselves and be themselves , Bober states “it's important for young people to develop what's in the inside and then what other people say will not matter much” this shows how getting these tattoos or piercings will help with their confidence on why teens should get them, they will help teens be who they are and find themselves.
Many people may state well “teens should not get piercings or tattoos” “they are not old enough to understand” but what people don't understand is that when kids do get tattoos or piercings they will be able to make that hard decision themselves and help them to mature in article “how old is enough” Author Sean McCollum states that “if something is going to be permanent it should be done right” this shows how kids should know that they have to go to a professional, this will show them the responsibility they need to have for example he also states “Do they have the discipline to follow the aftercare instructions that call for regular cleaning and disinfecting if not they are in for a hurr” this can show how they will learn the discipline and responsibility, he stating that they will not know, but they will find out and this can teach them the responsibility and discipline they will need for the future when the are older and more mature.
in conclusion parents should stop fighting or arguing with teens. and teens should be allowed to get theses piercings and tattoos so they don't get harmed from dangurose amuture or body art cons, they should also get them to help them find themselves and develop who they are also to lean the interest they like. and the last reason on why they should get them is so they can learn discipline and responsibility.
