Hard to believe any mother would consent to this at such a young age! Against the law, as far as I am aware and so the tattoo artist should be hauled over for this as well as the mother! I think you will have to stay out of it flump1, but I really think your boyfriend should have the tattoo studio taken to court for this!! Having a tattoo removed is not so easy and probably painfull too! So, not sure this would be an option. Dad will have to be careful as it may mean father and daughter falling out big time!
