There's no problem getting tattoos at 16, i remember going down to some tattoo parlours in saafend at that age and nope, the big hairy bikers were not exactly discerning about whether people were over 18. One of my mates got a ganja leaf on his arm. He was well happy with that. Haha. I saw it and decided I'd wait until I knew what I wanted.
Always get a bad feeling when we sign youngsters who are spoke about highly. Bostock/Coulibaly syndrome. Tbf our academy no longer appears to be a black hole, it's been great seeing players who developed at the club make it into the first team (and other first teams in the league). Hopefully the training facilities now are coupled with good guidance for these kids.
