butterfly tattoo ankle image

Meggan Gri

I'm 16 years old. no this is not a 'oooo I want a star, that will be cool'. I want a tattoo of emotional signifigance. I have self harm issues and want to get a butterfly tattoo on my ankle as part of the butterfly project. It would be perminent so I would have a very hard time cutting because I wouldn't want to kill the butterfly. Espically if its named after a loved one. Anyway, I'm just wndering if I could maybe get my aunt to come in and sign for me or if I could get it done myself. What would be my best option. my mom dosent really approve and she'd get upset if I told her why. Thanks!

Answer
I live in Ontario and I have 2 tattoos. You must be 18 years old. You may be a minimum age of 16, but only if your legal guardian signs for you. Unless your aunt is your legal guardian, no you can't get a tattoo.

And remember that any place that lets you get it done underage, probably isn't very reputable with other things either, such as cleanliness and health procedures :/

what does a butterfly tattoo symbolize?

I'm seeking to get a butterfly tattoo next week however I want to know exactly what it means. I want it to symbolize my freedom and crossing a milestone in my life.

Answer
GET it ! A butterfly tattoo is a pretty way of symbolizing your freedom. You know, several years ago, I wanted to get a tattoo of a butterfly as well to symbolize something I had been through earlier, and I did get it on my ankle. I love my butterfly tattoo, every time I glance at it, it makes me smile and I never did regret it.

Ok now this issue about it being for lesbians is something I never heard of ! My advice to you is to get it if you really want it, regardless of the meaning =)
