Update to this post. More things have come to light. There was no tattoo parlor. The students got tattoos in a hotel room under the watch of the teacher. So I am glad I got my daughters blood tested. But we have to wait 6 months since the blood was taken so soon after the tattoo.I did not pursue this with the school board. Other parents did and the teacher is being investigated. I don't like seeing people lose their jobs. But this "free spirit" teacher obviously has no limits.

punish her by not letting her cover it or fix it.

That's pretty jacked.
Also, if it is where I think it is, I double down on my outrage at the teacher's poor judgement. Intimate area for a minor to be getting work.
You should really talk to the principal.

Noooo!!

Yikes, this would make me angry at everyone involved- daughter included. I'm sure you as a tattooed parent had spoken to her about getting responsible tattoos as she ages into adulthood.
Best of luck with the blood work. The tattoo itself looks to me like it can be turned into a decent tattoo without much trouble- but what do I know. I'll let your artist deal with that. Fingers crossed all around.

Yeah, this is the point I was trying to make. Sure, the teacher leading the trip should have known better, but the tattooer isn't really at fault here.
And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't get tattooed by that dude, but I was expecting scratcher quality, when really it's just standard lower-tier shop work.

That really sucks. Shame on the guy who did it and on the teacher for allowing and enabling it. But unless you're willing to fly down to Belize and kick the guy's ass yourself there isn't really a whole lot to be done about the tattoo right now. The bigger issue is the breach of trust - if the teacher asked for permission via text/FB message and got it from somebody, who is the person who falsely provided it?
Good luck. I'd be willing to bet that your kid will regret it sooner than not, and that may serve as punishment enough.

Just set up my appointment with Matt Dinovo out of Omaha Nebraska. Can't wait to see what he does with a Tennyo.

That's a great drawing. My backpiece is based on Horiyoshi 3 reference so I think bringing it to your tattooer is an excellent idea.

I found this today. Does anyone know about it or have you ever seen it? I want to take it to my artist and have him do his own thing with it. Any thoughts?

finally a decent pic of my backpiece. It was really difficult. Even in this one the hands aren't shown at their best.

I'm happy to say I just finished my 30+ hours full backpiece. I alway get lost in my tattoos so this time I kept a diary of each visit. As I read through it, I realized most of it is pure whining.
