Yesterday I had to go to the auto parts store because I'm trying to help Luke get organized and clean. And he's got a Jeep, Wrangler, Rubicon. And I took his car to go over to Jeff at Zot Ford or Zot whatever Jeep and get it fixed. And I was in it going, this thing is disgusting. So I'm like, you know what? I'm going to buy him some new floor mats. Because sometimes the old floor mats just aren't worth even trying to clean. So I went to Murray's Discount Auto. Okay. Have you ever been to Murray's? Absolutely. Murray's Discount Auto. Which, by the way, there is a Murray. I realize that. Really? The guy in the commercial. Yeah.

00:02:58 - 00:03:01 | Speaker 4:

I didn't even know Murray's was still around, actually.

00:03:01 - 00:03:44 | Speaker 7:

They're at Walled Lake. Okay. So I go into Murray's to go buy some stuff. And I end up running into a guy, or I shouldn't even say a guy, I should say maybe a kid, who is 16 years old, all right? He's there, and I look at him and turn and say, hey, how you doing? And he turns and says, hey, and he's really friendly. He starts talking to me, and he then goes, hey, are you the guy from the TV station? I said, yeah, I'm Jay Tower. And no, from the radio station. and we're talking for a little bit and I look, he's got something really interesting for a 16 year old to have a sleeve like tattoos all over

00:03:44 - 00:03:46 | Speaker 4:

his arms. How do you know he was 16?

00:03:47 - 00:04:11 | Speaker 7:

I asked him. I said to him I go hey so you know what do you go to school or something like that? And he told me he goes to like Walled Lake whatever Central or whatever the hell I want of them. And I said wow I said, 16 years old, your parents are cool with you having tattoos. He said, yes. And I said, so when did you get your first tattoo? Are you ready for this one? 12.

00:04:12 - 00:04:14 | Speaker 3:

What? Wait, you can do that?

00:04:14 - 00:04:24 | Speaker 7:

He got a tattoo when he was 12. He did it. 12 is crazy. Showed me his first tattoo, and it was initials for his grandpa that passed. 12 years old.

00:04:24 - 00:04:25 | Speaker 2:

You are a child.

844 Mojo Live, 844-665-6548. Are there any people that have gotten a tattoo, like, at a youngest age? Like, what was the age that you got it?

00:05:38 - 00:05:39 | Speaker 5:

What was the tattoo for?

00:05:40 - 00:05:51 | Speaker 3:

And, yeah, and you're, like, tattoo artists. Can you tattoo a 12-year-old? Like, is that legal to do it if there's a consent form or something signed by a parent?

00:05:51 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 4:

I like that it was his grandfather's initials and not something like, you know, a wrestler. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, Conor McGregor on his arm or something crazy like that.

00:05:59 - 00:06:00 | Speaker 3:

Good morning.

00:06:10 - 00:06:23 | Speaker 2:

Morning. So I was 13 on my first tattoo, and they allowed me to get it because my dad signed for it. Wow. What was the tattoo? It's a Winnie the Pooh on my right ankle. Oh, my gosh.

00:06:23 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 3:

13 years old. So what grade are you in when you're 13? Seven.

00:06:27 - 00:06:29 | Speaker 2:

00:06:29 - 00:06:31 | Speaker 4:

Oh, you failed a couple times.

00:06:32 - 00:06:32 | Unknown:

I graduated on time. Do you regret it? You got your life together. No, I don't regret it. I have a whole bunch now.

00:06:40 - 00:06:52 | Speaker 4:

So did it take some negotiating with your father? Did you have to plead? Or how did he react when you told him as a 13-year-old, like, I want to get a Winnie Pooh tattoo on my ankle?

00:06:53 - 00:07:03 | Speaker 2:

Well, my dad thought he was being smart, and he figured that as soon as the tattoo artist touched me with the needle that they would i'd be like no i don't want it it hurts and you're like credit

00:07:03 - 00:07:22 | Speaker 3:

00:10:13 - 00:10:29 | Speaker 2:

of these calls i mean well i got my first one at 15 and then my mom signed for it at a tattoo shop but i kind of conned them into it because they were at like a new year's eve party and i was like hey you should let me get a tattoo why don't you sign this napkin and say it's okay and they did

00:10:29 - 00:10:36 | Speaker 5:

00:11:05 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 4:

not allowed to make decisions like this at that age lauren correct why'd you get a tree frog

00:11:10 - 00:11:23 | Speaker 2:

i honestly i have no idea i went in there with no expectations i didn't like plan it or anything i literally walked in the tattoo shop and was like uh i'll take that one wow interesting uh

00:11:23 - 00:11:35 | Speaker 4:

man these calls are wild thank you for the call lauren appreciate it yeah take care of yourself Hold on a second. Amanda let her 16-year-old get a tattoo, but there was a stipulation. What was that, Amanda?

00:11:37 - 00:11:39 | Speaker 3:

She had to get a matching tattoo with me.

00:11:39 - 00:11:42 | Speaker 1:

Oh, really? What did we land on?

00:11:45 - 00:11:49 | Speaker 3:

We actually did skull hands with a spider in it.

00:11:49 - 00:11:52 | Speaker 1:

Oh. What hands? Skull hands.

00:11:52 - 00:12:05 | Speaker 3:

We are like skull hands. So we're like into Halloween. Like that's our favorite holiday. So we did Skull Hands. Also, first time on time. Another one. Amanda. Amanda on the phone.

00:12:06 - 00:12:06 | Speaker 4:

Wow.

00:12:07 - 00:12:12 | Speaker 3:

But she's 18 now, and she has three tattoos, and one's a memory of my dad.

00:12:12 - 00:12:13 | Speaker 4:

Oh, that's sweet. That's nice.

00:12:14 - 00:12:18 | Speaker 3:

But she also has like 30 piercings, so I let her do a whole bunch of piercings, too.

00:12:18 - 00:12:36 | Speaker 4:

I think if I had a daughter, the only way I would let her get a tattoo is if she tattooed closed for business on her. You know what I mean? And you're not allowed, we're not, basically, you're not, you know, like, make sure that no boy ever, like, looks and goes, oh, crap, whatever the deal is.

00:12:36 - 00:12:37 | Speaker 1:

That'd make it more fun.

00:12:37 - 00:12:50 | Speaker 4:

I could not, honestly, I couldn't imagine going into a tattoo place and doing it with my son. Even nowadays, I don't know if I would want it. Joe has wanted me to get a tattoo. And I'm like, I don't know.

00:12:50 - 00:12:59 | Speaker 5:

If you were going to get anything, what would it be? have you ever thought about like okay maybe i would get you know my dad's handwriting or something

00:12:59 - 00:13:49 | Speaker 4:

um i i would probably it would probably be something with my parents yeah like maybe like how chelsea made you know my necklace that says love mom love dad and it's my parents you know uh writing on it but i think i'm like what shannon said i think i would probably just do what i did which is get a necklace or something chili cheese i'd get the mcdonald's arches right right there on me but right on my butt like right over the butt does anybody ever do that and so the arch goes right down to the thing wait hold on what's the last call that you want me to grab here tiffany tiffany are you there yeah hi tiffany What's your tattoo?
