        • incorrect.. not legal in nc at all regardless with parent or guardian. that only applies to other states. however there are shops that wont ask if you just walk in. Thats how they get around it and that’s NOT the point of the story.

    • you are missing the entire point but it’s legal in some states, she could’ve gotten it done in virginia w parental consent.

    • Probably one she did herself or could be a juvenile detention tattoo. Or minors getting tattoos might be legal wherever she came from?

    • @Jimmy: She probably got it done in one of thr 28 states that allow minors to get a tattoo with parental consent.

    • actually you can get a tattoo with parental consent in this state. learn the laws before posting foolishness and worry about girls missing not tattoos. SMH

      • actually you can’t anymore, you used to be able to but they have done away with that. You can however in Virginia.

      • It is illegal in this state for anyone to get a tattoo under the age of 18! Period! At 16 you may get a piercing with parental consent. That is the law. In this state. Pretty easy to look up.

  1. It’s legal if the parents accompany her and sign forms, but really that’s the first comment? How about instead of worrying about a tattoo worry about 2 missing children.

    • Exactly I’m trying to find my cousin and that’s what there worried Abt ? So what if she’s got a tat as long as her parents sighn a form and it won’t in a tat shop then that’s ok but for some of these people just to talk about bad parenting ,my family and Abigail family is going through a lot rn

        • amber alerts are mostly for abductions, or situations where it is believed they are running away into a dangerous and potentially deadly situation.

        • amber alerts are only used for abductions or incidents where the child is running away into a dangerous or potentially deadly situation.

        • amber alerts are only for abductions or incidents where the child is believed to be running away INTO a dangerous or deadly situation.

  2. Prayers for a safe return .Teenagers think it is always going to be a better life away from home . It is so dangerous now , people are crazy . Easily persuaded by others to get in the car for a ride . Stay away from strangers and talk to your parents. You may think their rules are too strict but they are only tying to protect you and keep you safe .

    • I am 60 years old and I ran away from home in the early 80s “tough love.” I was banned from my mother’s house and my father’s house at 15. I was raped multiple times. I was hungry, I was hot and cold living in a car. I was put on drugs…..

  3. Well, if they let a 16 yr old get a tattoo it is already some very questionable parenting

    You gotta be 21 just to get a pack of menthols

    • You seriously have issues! Not everyone is snowed by organized religions and dirty politics. Who are you to questions anyone’s parenting!!!!!

  4. That is my cousin that missing (Olivia )and Abt the whole tat thing is that your not supposed to have them you can get them as long as it’s not in a tat shop

    • Genuinely i hope the best for all involved, i am not close in any way and that makes for a different perspective on what went wrong. But perhaps, as with the prodigal son, there comes a point where you have to let go of any fantasy of control and let people go with love, in the solemn hope and prayer they will be eating “carobs” one day and realize it is time to go home.

  5. If they have cell phones and are on social media then they should have already been located by law enforcement.
