Hello from montreal!

Hello from montreal!

Welcome dude! Stoked for you.. and then stoked for you in a couple years.

No problem, and I'd also recommend watching the artist interview videos on this site, Vice's Tattoo Age series, and the Gypsy Gentleman videos because they'll give you insight into the people making tattoos, and there are some great tattoos and great stories in them.

I do watch Tattoo Age :)
Thank you!

Hey, my name is Olivier from Montreal, Canada. I'm a skateboarder, and that's my main hobby. Watch a lot of skate videos, I take a close look at my favourite skaters tats, that's where I get my appreciation from. I've really been into tattoos since an early age of 13. I'm 15 now, and hope to gain about 2 years of experience on this website before I get my first tattoo at 17. I have a question, how do I convince my mother about getting tattoos and that people with tattoos aren't bad people.
Thank you!

@Graeme thanks for the suggestions!
@MadeIndelible Thanks for the welcoming:) And yeah, I know people who are 13 with a tattoo but they look simply shit.

Welcome! I completely agree with @BrianH about showing patience and maturity. I don't think there's a legal minimum age to get tattooed in Montreal, but keep in mind that the good shops are probably not going to tattoo under 18s, and it's worth waiting to get tattooed by a good artist at a good place.
As far as convincing your mother that people with tattoos aren't bad people, that completely depends on your mother, but the Art Tattoo Show Montreal at the start of September at the Gare Windsor might be worth checking out as there's a lot of excellent tattooing going on there and you can talk to tattooers and tattooed people and see that we're pretty much just regular people despite our outward appearances.

Oh my Brian Andersons tats are sick, Lizard King has some nice tattoos (not much artwork, mostly just random). Bobby Worrest's tattoos are nice also. Yeah, I love going to the skatepark and seeing all the sick skater tattoos that inspire me for my first piece.

If you are a solid person and you are doing well, hopefully your parents won't mind when you start getting tattooed. I got a lot of inspiration to start getting tattooed by seeing older skaters getting them, I love Brian Andersons tattoos hes got a lot of cool stuff. Who are some of your favorite tattooed skateboarders if you don't mind me asking?

Showing patience and maturity are your best bet. Enjoy window shopping for the next few years.
