I am of Maori decent myself and to me it won't be offensive but it also depends on the bird you would like to have tattooed. I do not see any problem with it but everyone is different and there will most probably be someone that might find it offensive.
NO! There is no way of explaining someone passing out from the physical aspects of getting a tattoo. The only way that someone could pass out from getting a tattoo is by physcological means (eg: fear of blood/needles).
yes
No where reputable anyway...You've got to be 18 or over to get a tattoo in a decent shop.
Yes, it is possible. It has most likely happened. Even more amazing, there was probably someone there taking pictures!
You will not get chlamydia from getting a tattoo.
The best place to get advice on getting a tattoo is from someone you know who has gotten one or a tattoo parlor. There are also several sites online that give great tips such as How Stuff Works and Tattoos.
I don't know if it is the same everywhere, but in Serbia, they do. They paid both for the tattoo and later payed 50e a month for having it (the tattoo is on the calf).
No.

Getting a tattoo removed can be extremely painful ! When you get a tattoo removed it usually just leaves a scar of what the tattoo is, it's almost like getting a scarification tattoo, there is honestly no point in even getting a tattoo removed, you will still have it on your skin.
Yes, you an have a tattoo of a laughing Buddha. Depending on your religion, or that of those you spend the most time with, you may find it is forbidden or that it is disrespectful to have it tattooed on certain areas of your body.
A decent studio will ask for your ID before proceeding with the tattoo process. If they don't ask for your ID, they're a shady institution, and you don't want a tattoo from them. Are you too young to get a tattoo? If so, just wait until you're old enough. It's not worth the risk of getting an ugly tattoo, or getting an infection from an unsterilized tattoo studio. Do you just not have a driver's license or ID tag? Bring in some other kind of identification. It helps if it includes your photo. For example, a passport in conjunction with a birth certificate would work.
