Tattoo on child.
My boyfriend has told his children no body art or piercings until they are over the age of consent as he doesn't like either of them. He has 3 children and the older one has not felt the need , however the middle child has turned up for a visit sporting a great tattoo flower on her wrist. My boyfriend is most angry, he thought he had the law on his side. Now apart from the fact that the blooming thing is now a permanent feature he is feeling so angry with the ex wife who consented to it. I am not looking for advice, just to let off steam !!!

Yes, report the tattooist, Flump!
I have absolutely nothing against tattoo's, but on a 15 year old it's just wrong. I'm absolutely gobsmacked that the mother consented to it, to be honest.
Surely at 15, there's a higher chance you'll regret what you had done at a later stage. I had my first tattoo at 18, and I hated it so much 5 years later, I had to save up and have it removed.
There's always a new 'trend', and whilst a tattoo to the wrist may be fashionable right now, chances are it won't be in ten years time.
Also, having one in such a noticeable place, may well affect her when it comes to things like careers.

If the tattoo is recent (and real) there will still be plenty of redness and inflammation on the skin around it. Further the child will have to explain where she got the money (perhaps £100+?) to pay for it.
It's far more likely that it's a henna 'tattoo', which isn't a proper tattoo at all. Instead of a needle penetrating into the lower (permanent) layer of the skin, it's simply a staining of the upper layer (which wears away naturally in a couple of weeks or so).
Henna 'tattoos' are perfectly legal on minors (and easily available, quite cheaply, on almost every pleasure pier in the country).
