Arizona Parents Let 9 Year Old Get A Tattoo
This No Sweat News Story comes to us from the great state of Arizona. A tattoo artist has raised eyebrows after he posted a video where he is giving a tattoo to a 9 year old. The girl’s parents let their 9 year old get a tattoo.
Not a temp, an actual real tattoo. With the parents’ consent. In fact, he says the parents were standing right there, but you can’t see any of them in the video.
So, I ask you: Is NINE too young to get a tattoo?

It all started last year when the parent brought the 9 year old girl in to the Black Onyx Empire Tattoo in Yuma, Arizona. According to the artist shown in the Instagram video below, the girl supposedly first wanted a neck tattoo of Donald Trump on her neck.
Because nothing says, “I’m not in a cult like letting your 9 year old getting a politicians face tatted on her neck.”
But the tattoo artist convinced the girl to go with an American flag on her shoulder.
Well, the girl came back last week, that’s when this video was shot. The girl now says she doesn’t want Trump on her neck anymore, but she did want the American flag touched up. So, the artist obliged and touched up the Red, White & Blue.
In case you were wondering, here in New Jersey a minor can get a tattoo with a parents consent and the parent has to be there for it.
I dunno, maybe I’m wrong about this. But it seems like letting your 9 year old girl get inked is a sure way to guarantee that she’ll be telling some random guy on the street to, “hock one up and spit on that thang”…
