So I just finished that Booksmart movie (average) and can't seem to work out US school grades.
These girls were leaving school to go to college, that makes them 15/16 right? (about the same age I went to college in the UK). Yet that Ryan girl has crazy tattoos.
A. Does this mean you can get tattoos in the US at 16?
B. Are US schools cool with kids wearing whatever they want and displaying visible tattoos?
I once got suspended for shaving my head and my brother got sent home because his coat was black and not royal blue so visible tatts at school just seems insane to me.
Most of us go to college around 17/18 years old if they start and finish "on time." High school seniors are generally around this age, I graduated high school when I was 17, then began (never finished) college that age too.
You are allowed to get tattoos here under 18 years old, laws may vary by state. The only thing is, I think you have to be with your legal guardian/parent for them to tattoo you. I have a 16 year old niece with a tattoo already.
Most schools let you wear anything you want, within reason. Nothing provocative, no swear words, etc. I'm unsure about tattoo policies in schools right now, but I'm sure everything is ok as long as the tattoo isn't offensive or anything like that. Skirts and shorts for girls have to be a certain length, some schools dont let anybody wear tank tops, etc. It's pretty lenient. The exception is the occasional private school or military magnet type school where uniforms are necessary. In private schools, its usually khaki or black pants or skirt, with a white button up top. It really varies across the U.S.
A lot of schooling prior to high school here requires uniforms, but thats just around my area (east coast U.S.)
