Not in my case. I mean, this was about 10 years ago, but I remember talking to a group of girls (who were >18 at this point) talking about how they got their tattoos in some dude's kitchen. Yes, high schoolers can be 18+, but not when you're a sophomore and rarely when you're a junior.

getting this one next month on my calf. pretend that it's bright red....the black is done on tracing paper because i didn't feel like wasting time drawing the asterisk when i could just print one as a reference....
after the asterisk, im gonna work on touching up the older ones, maybe altering them a bit and then attaching the small star, ladybug/flower and the raindrop into a quarter sleeve-ish thing.

Aren't asterisks usually 6-pointed? * <-- this one is, and I see 5 pointed ones in some typefaces (Times New Roman), but I don't recall seeing 8-pointed ones.
That being said, they're all really pretty. I like the incorporation of the ladybugs with flowers and the like to make a larger scene.

--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---In English, an asterisk is usually five-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten. [...] The original shape was seven-armed,[citation needed]

Yep, a lot of them have less points. But I'm getting the Red Hot Chili Peppers logo. :-) And thanks!

i know a lot of shops in my area have gotten a lot stricter on this, but i'm sure it definitely depends on location. And whether or not you're actually going to a shop or just getting one at the kitchen table. Urgh....I know teenagers do dumb things (and i've definitely done my share) but even as a kid i don't think i could have done that- even if I had a good friend that could come to my house and ink me. All the tattoo shops I've used have been pristine...and i don't care how clean someone's house is, it's just not the same. Am i thinking too far into this? Probably, but i've read way too many horror stories about tattoos done in unsanitary environments. :|

Well, I should probably point out that my high school was pretty ghetto and is even more so now from what I've heard, so I don't think these kids really cared. At least they didn't try to do it themselves.
