The tattooing of people under 18 years of age has a long history both from a cultural and functional perspective and has only relatively recently become illegal, but the youth have always had an obsession with ink. From school yard compass tattoos, to rogue tattooers, lets learn about tattooing's final frontier, and the internal youthful obsession with tattoos.
