Tatted Mom
Tucson, AZ
Female, 32
I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.
I think it's better to find or come up with an art piece that depicts what the saying in words says. But that's my opinion. Words can blur under the skin over the years, but larger pictures tend to hold more over years.

Tattoos can be used to disguise stretch marks and make them less noticeable, but they won't be 100% covered when the tattoo is done. Also keep in mind that ink doesn't take as well in stretch marks as it does on regular skin, so those areas might heal a little lighter and would need a second session to darken up.

They can resize it at the tattoo shop.

I don't recommend white tattoos for any skin color. Black and grey tattoos tend to show up more on darker skin than color tattoos do, but colored inks such as reds, greens and sometimes blues show up on darker skin.

It's hard to give an exact time frame. It's not an instant thing. It took 3 years for your existing tattoo to fade to what it was when the new black was added, so it won't take a week or two for the two to match.

Honestly, that's up to the shop. Some shops have the parent come in with the minor, sign the paperwork, and then the parent can leave. But, that's rare, because many shops don't want a minor in there, being tattooed, without their parents.
And, if you are asking if you can take the paperwork home to "get signed by your parents" and then bring it back to the shop, and they will accept it, the answer to that is no.
