im sixteen years old and i want to become a tattoo artist. kat von d is someone i look up to. i mean yeah sure she dropped out of high school for this, but she went for her dream and made it. and as far as the show goes i have a for year old little brother that would love the show if he ever saw it. but then i also have a seven year old brother that would probably think the show was gross or weird. so personally i think it should be up to the parents. if the parent wants to let their kid watch the show then that is what they are going to do. same as if the parent doesnt want their kid to watch the show. some parents are going to say that kids under 16 shouldnt watch it others may say under 9 shouldnt watch it. its the parents decision.
