No doubt it will be a regret years later for that child

Way too young to make that type of decision. A small tattoo maybe yes, but his whole fore arm?

Look, I’m all for tattoos as I’m covered with them but God dam, 15 is still a child. If ya gunna make that descion make sure ya do it decently. That’s gunna look like a huge black swab of ink by the time he’s 20.

It’s not something my boys ever wanted. To get a tattoo so big, he must really love his Mum and that’s a wonderful thing.

Each to their own…

I am currently going through tattoo removal for three stars on my foot. I have had over 10 treatments ($50 per session) and it’s no where near gone. It’s the most painful thing ever. So I do not promote tattoos when you are young. The regret is real!

Well, its not something he will regret. I got my first tattoo at 19, but I remember in highschool a few girls had tattoos at 13!!! This was back in 2002.

This boy loves his mum and always will. Their choice not yours.

Oh no, he looks a lot younger than 15. I don’t have a tattoo, never will either. I just can’t think of a single thing I want permanently etched on my skin

He looks so young and the tattoo is way too large in my opinion.

Gosh, wonder how quickly he’ll regret that. That’s not a small further tattoo….and a major undo if he changes his mind.

He is a little too young but at least he had his mums approval and her name on his arm hahaha

Aww he loves him mama a lot!!!
I think if the parents are okay with it, it’s okay. Obviously it’s the child’s body so either way they will go out and do it anyway…

I think it’s a dreadful decision.

I think it’s kind of sweet that the son wanted a tattoo of his mum, but I would have hold off till he’s 18 and a bit more mature to take this decision.

So many rights given to kids under 18. Sorry no wonder kids are getting more aggressive, rude and have no respect anymore.

I love tattoos but totally disagree with this. I have a 15yo and I wouldn’t allow this in my house. If he still wants it at 18, then no problem

I don’t have a tattoo. My son has a few but he’s now 23. I don’t need him to have my name tattooed on his body. And I certainly wouldn’t have allowed one when he was that young, or of that size.

It’s a sweet request from the boy, but if she absolutely had to agree, I think something smaller and more discreet might have been a good idea.

At 16 I got my first tattoo, there was no social media then. I think social media or internet posts about this should not be allowed as it can be thought it was just done to brag and make money. If my child asks me to get a tattoo of any kind I will tell them I’ll gladly go with them at 18, when they are responsible for there own actions.

I’m absolutely all for tattoos, iv got heaps. But I can 100% say at 15 the choices I had for my tattoos at the time if i got them I would have regretted them!! And honestly… he’s still got so much growing to go, he’s gonna end up stretching the tattoo, can see in a few years time the amount of regret he is going to have and he will likely end up with a blackout tattoo

How irresponsible can this mother be? For a start, I thought the legal age for a tattoo was 18yrs old? Secondly, if her younger child says he wants one now is she going to let him too? This is just so ridiculous! At 15 they change their minds like they change clothes and she has to be the MOTHER here not the child’s friend. He’s probably got plenty of friends but needs a mother! I find this whole situation very stupid and sad. I bet when he’s older he’s going to regret getting his mother’s name on himself. Just plain stupid.
