The Real Reason Miley Cyrus Has a Tattoo
By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 7th 2009 10:05AM

Last week, we asked our readers to vote on whether Cyrus should have a tattoo at 17. Over 56 percent of 84,700+ voters said she was too young, and it bothered them. Cyrus' step into the spotlight has led to much criticism, and she's had enough. During an interview with the AP in September, Cyrus admitted that she's made her fair share of missteps but wishes the public would have a little more respect for her privacy.
"I think everything I do is exaggerated a lot," she said. "I think that no matter what, I think it is all about respect. People forget that when you are in the public eye, people forget you still have to respect people and you still have to (respect) their privacy."

People need to get over it shes not the first 17 yrd femail to get a tatoo people are allways making a mountain out of a molehill as long as she had her perants permission so what get over it theres more important things to worry about in this world then a tatoo on a famous 17yrd singer what about the homeless.the unemployment,the economy,our solders going over seas to forien countrys clear these problems up and then we can make a mountain out of a molehill

I totally agree with you driver! Seriously why does a tattoo on a 17 year old have to make front page news! a million other stuff that people SHOULD be reading about & helping out with than this!
Driver...I agree with you from the first sentence to the last! Right on! Bonnie
Also, our schools are apparently teaching horrible spelling.
Why anyone thinks this girl's skin is any of their concern is beyond me. She's a talented young lady who's only obligation to any of you is to give you your money's worth when you listen to her music or see her movie.
Her personal life is none of your business.
its illegal thats whats wrong with it in every state except florida and new jersey so unless she was there its illeagel
as a tattooer the artist should be fined and closed down i dont care how famu=ous u are the law is the law
its a black mark on my profesion as for her getting tattooed when shes 18 she could get covered and wouldnt care
If her dad knew about it he could actually be charged as well really smart move
frank acevedo, its not illegal if you're 17 and have a guardian's permission to get the tattoo. When I got my tattoo there was a waiver the guardian had to sign and the artist checked my ID to make sure I was of age. When i went to get a touch up a 17 year old was there with her parents to get a tattoo. It all depends on the state, not your opinion.
People just need to make sure the tattoo is something they want to get because it costs an arm and a leg more to get rid of it so you're pretty much stuck with it you're whole life. make sure its something you want.
I totally agree with you Driver. There is certainly nothing wrong with her having a tattoo and personally it is none of anyone else's business why she has it. I do think it is great that she did this in honor of a friend.
i think a lot of it is because of where the tattoo is, which means some adult was doing a tattoo right next to an underage girls breast, that's probably why people are freaking out.
Thank you, Driver! It's just a tat. Not a big deal
she is very to young but dad must of said yes for her to that
frank acevedo: As long as a parent or guardian gives written consent ie signing the papers, it is legal. Secondly, I highly doubt you are a "tattooer" as you claim, they refer to themselves as tattoo artist & I hope you aren't based on your spelling. Then again you may be like the "tattoer" who gave my brother in-law a misspelled & backwards tattoo, I guess there are a bunch of really bad tattoo artist out there.
What you said is so true. If more people would leave celebrities alone and actually do something with there life than gripe and judge people it kinda makes you think that they have no regard in anybodies feelings but there own celebrities are people too.It's nobodies business but there own what they do or say.Only a PERVERT would have been stalking a 17 yr.old girl just to take pic's of here celebrity or not. Listen you know who you are !GET A LIFE!There's more important things to worry about.
Why do all you people b*tch about Miley Cyrus? So she got a tatoo. As a highschooler, I know that there are many teenage girls with tatoos. You people treat her like a scapegoat for everything she does. People say she wears revealing clothes, that she's overly sexual in performances, and a score of other things so long I don't have time to name them all. Just because we have made Miley Cyrus a big star on an even bigger pedestal doesn't mean that she should be used as a role model. If you don't think her actions are appropriate, don't watch her show. Don't buy her music. The same goes for all you parents who don't want your daughters copying Cyrus. Get over yourselves. She's not gonna be the same 12-year-old Hannah Montana kid she was. She's growing up, so why don't you?
Really? You actually spell female, as femail? Really? And you think you have enough brain power to actually add to the overall wisdom of the world?
Can Everybody Leave the Poor Girl alone about what she does in her time off she is a good little entertainer be happy she is a good kid....but out and just enjoy her music
This girrl nedes to go back to skool. Her speling is terrabowl. Driver thaat iz.
nothing wrong with the tattoo. its the place where she put it

You'll never notice it after the breast implants.
It's over her lung ... Cystic Fibrosis causes lung disease which is probably what her friend actually died from ...
