They tell everyone that :P Don't be offended. I am an extremely hairless person when it comes to my body, but I had to shave my lower abdomen when I got my first tattoo.

Every girl and boy has to shave for a tattoo. The hairs can mess up the ink. You are not any different then 99.9% of other females.

Everyone has to shave when they get a tattoo done, no matter where it's going or whether it's a woman or a bloke having it done. I'd more more shocked if they didn't ask you to

You have to shave because it can cause an ingrown hair, and you can get an infection.

Just because youre a girl dosent mean you dont get body hair
