From Angelina Jolie to Drew Barrymore, Hollywood stars have embraced tattoos. But for some families, the idea of body art is still controversial. Three sisters, ages 16 to 21, have made a pact to all get tattoos when the youngest turns 18, despite their parents pleas to hold off. "They are so young and it's just so permanent," says their father Eric, while his wife points out another concern. "I don't want them to have a tattoo on their wedding day," Nancy says. "I don't want to see them walking down the aisle with a tattoo on their arm, their back, their front -- even their ankle!" Rachael turns to *La Ink's* Kat Von D for tips on what everyone should consider when getting a tattoo. Kat says the first step is to decide if it's truly the right thing for you. "We're constantly trying to talk people out of getting tattoos sometimes because they really rush into it or are doing it for the wrong reasons," she says. And there can still be a stigma attached, she points out. "It's something that people notice right off the bat so you've got to make sure that you're stable with your career and stuff." For those that decide to go ahead with that butterfly, rose or customized design on their body, Kat suggests that you shop around for the artist. "I think a lot of people make the common mistake of just going to any random tattoo shop," she says. "You really have to seek out your artist because there's a lot of great talent out there but they might not get your idea or your vision." She suggests researching their work online, or asking someone who has a tattoo you admire for a recommendation. Then, carefully consider the placement of the tattoo. "You don't want to just stick stuff on like stickers," she says. Once you have one, be extra careful to use sun block. "The sun is like the worst enemy for your tattoo," she says. "It will fade your tattoo double time." And if you ultimately regret your tattoo, you can reverse the decision with laser removal, but it's not an easy fix. "It's just very painful," Kat says. "The process is long, you have to go repeated amounts of time. It's not fun." Rachael asks if any of this information has changed Eric's mind about his daughters' requests for tattoos. The concerned father says that while he is certain it's not the right time, his girls might consider it under one circumstance: "If you guys go to Kat to get your tattoos done, it's all OK. She's the best!"
