The appropriate age to get a tattoo?
In my opinion, if you want a tattoo and its not part of your culture, for example being maori. Then you should consider yourself too young to get one.

20 Color Set of Wizard Tattoo Ink
I’m leaving for boot camp in about 2 months and would like to get a tattoo before I leave. I dint want any crazy tats or any colored ones. Just something on the forearm or maybe a half sleeve. I want something with meaning but cant really find anything really cool.
I’m into the Maori looking tats but don’t you need to be from that lifestyle?
Here are two tats I’m looking into I’m not artsy at all so I cant really make my own

Any help at all greatly appreciated!
I was doing some tattoo research and i came across the Maori tribe of New Zealand, and they had ritual tattoos, with names based on area of the body. I noticed that the tattoos on the buttox region are called in their language, raperape. It may be a coincidence and i couldnt find anything on it. So i guess my question is where does the word rape come from and does it have anything to do with the tattoos of the maori?
Thanks for the great responses, i guess it was just a coincidence.
