so sorry to disagree with you about payment. I have worked many tattoo and piercing parlors, I'm an bookkeeper. All must have payment before the job is done. For one thing, most tattoo artist know people will screw you out of $. Second, getting a tattoo is a process. This is something the two people involved talk about and plan. Its obvious that this girl has been drugged or is a liar. I would like to see the autoclave and biohazzard reports for the parlor in question. Lastly, kids are stupid, do stupid things, that's why we as adults should protect our kids instead of seeking monetary satisfaction.
