Would you call it child abuse to tattoo a 9 year old?

I'd have to know all the details of the story but if it was done in America, I'd have to think that it probably would be considered such. Certainly not something I'd ever condone of doing.

Ditto with me, IowaMan. I'd want to know the details ... but agree it doesn't sound very good.

Unless it was a "cultural" thing that would make the child an outcast without doing it .... I'd have to say that yes, it doesn't sound like a good thing to me ... in fact, if you tried to tatoo my 49 year old person, I'd consider it abuse as well!!!

I consider it abuse when I see infants with pierced ears, so yeh, unless you could give me an extremely valid reason for putting a permanant mark on a child...

I'm with Scotz here. Unless it says in 4 inch letters, " Don't give me penicillin or I'll fucking die!!!", or some such, I have problems with this.

If it's for half arsed beauty or trendy reason, then the parent or guardian needs to be tattooed with a jack-hammer.

Always and automatically?

Wait...
1. What is the nature of the tattoo?
2. How much surface area does it cover (ie, how invasive was the procedure)?
3. What is the social context?
4. Most importantly, DID THE 9-YEAR OLD CONSENT?

A nine year old cannot consent to a tattoo, which is a permanent mark on their body (yeah, I know you can take it off with lasers) because that child will change it's mind over and over about what it wants before it reaches adulthood.

I say that if this child doesn't live in a tribe where every other 9-year old has a tattoo then it is child abuse and who ever did the work should be held accountable.

Sheesh!

I'm going to join the poor judgment side of the argument.

Until they are old enough to understand the full effect of such actions it should not be done. This includes peircings and body sculpting

But if it was my 9 year old and they came back with a tattoo. i would be pretty pissed!!

When I saw it I was truly in shock. I just was curious if I was the only person in the world who had a probem with it. It's cultural alright but not due to him being from anyplace where it is a custom. Now it makes so much sense why when my blouse was slipping of my shoulder one day and he could see mine he was so amazed I had one.

Nah, when you, an adult over the age of consent, wake up from an all-night drunk with a fresh tattoo, that's poor judgement...no child of 9 can consent to anything in any civilized nation that I know of.

When I was 9, I probably would have thought a Batman logo on my chest would have been tres cool...4 decades later, I'd be pretty pissed at any adult who would have let me go with such a whim...

I'm going to venture to guess this isn't done in the same manner that yours is Lil, in that it isn't probably done by a professional in a sterile environment. Can you say what the tattoo depicts?
