Hmmm, this is tricky. I don't see the issue in this particular case but as the mother pointed out:
What if it was sponge bob and the kid wanted it on his face and the parent consented?
Well. It is her child and he obviously knew what he wanted...I don't see why not. The government really needs to take a long walk off a short bridge when it comes to thinking they have any legal say so when it comes to a parents rights and their kids. I bet 1 day cps or police or someone is gonna mess with the wrong people and all hell will break loose. Now as a parent I would have had the common sense to say wait until your 16 or 17 to do this but again not my kid...so not my choice.
The law is stupid and goes against parental rights and should be challenged. Since when does getting a tattoo when a parent is present constitute a danger to the child? It doesn't. I know they should charge adults who get tattoos with harming themselves!!!! I mean why stop at telling parents what they can do with their child why not go all the way and tell adults they aren't allowed to get art on their skin?

Heavy metals in the ink are a danger. Why would any responsible parent willingly increase their child's direct exposure to heavy metals for something as optional as a tattoo? Isn't that why we have lead disclosures for older homes?
I have several tattoos and they are extremely painful, not to mention permanent. I consider this child abuse. No different than letting a kid drink liquor.
Shocker sir big government thinks its child abuse. I am seriously considering buying 100 acres building a home and just shutting the world out. home school the kids plant and slaughter our own food etc...you can't even smack yer kids butt in a store anymore without having the cops called or you being looked at weird. It was just 20 years ago I got my butt spanked good more than once and there was no weird looks there was none of that...I deserved it and my parents made sure it was taken care of. Now a days its the ole if you see something say something...the world has become so wrapped up with ratting on people when they aren't harming them or anyone else. If I wanna whip my kids I am gonna whip them I don't need anyone's permission.
Then why isn't tattooing outlawed? I have 4 tattoos my wife has 2 and we both plan on more. I have had no problems...also its the kid and his mother taking the risk. This is all about taking responsibility for our own actions. People need to live and let live.

You are an adult, your choice. The child does not know/understand the real long term health risk of heavy metal exposure.
Aren't the children already dumbed down enough? You want to add more heavy metals into their system under "live & let live"? Really?
Note, this is a state law, not a federal one. Parents who want to brand their minor childen could move to a state where such restrictions do not exist.
No reputable artist would have tattooed a minor regardless of parental permission. I'm rather heavily tattooed and the parlors I go to wont even let a minor inside the shop, much less get tattooed. I refuse to do business with shops that allow minors inside.

Yeah, I remember when I was 10. I had it ALL figured out
