5 Tips for Underage Cosplayers | Cosplay Tips

I have been cosplaying for 10 years and for a good part of that time I was under the age of 18. So through my teenage and adult cosplaying experiences I learnt quite a few things. So here are some tips based on my experiences.
Fun fact: the thumbnail photo is from when I was 17 years old!

"Tips for underage cosplayers" Me someone who doesn't cosplay: I N T E R E S T I N G

[@Aesthetic_toes]

[@oghenbread3330]

me, who is not underage OR a cosplayer:

[@Taolan8472]

Having an "uninterested adult" (read, uninterested in the convention not uninterested in your care) is the best kind of chaperone. They won't be distracted by the costumes and the glamour and the amazing convention-ness that is a convention; they'll be able to see the threats coming long before you will.

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Exactly this!

[@Creatorsan]

Yes! Absolutely! I am so thankful my mother was there in my younger years when I started cosplaying.

[@Cali-P]

Yeah that was the slight disadvantage of having my brother there as a chaperone. But there is a slight advantage to having a tall, intimidating, and fiercely protective brother chaperoning you. As much as it scares me I know he would take a bullet for me if it meant that I would be completely ok.

[@Its_Asteria]

I'm 19 and when cons start back up I 100% plan on having my mother with me along with groups because I HATE being alone. And shes slowly becoming somewhat interested in furry and cosplay because of my interest in this so I really want to include her in my activities. Especially since my best friend isn't 100% big on furry (not that she hates it. She just did NOT want to help me in suit because it brought down her fun doing things she wanted) So I was going to start having my mom come with me as a bonding thing and as a guard. My mother is very protective. So if someone does something to me, they'll get a shit storm :D

[@zorubark]

But with that, they probably won't help me cosplay at all :(

Tip you are legally aloud to carry around hair spray and it has the same affects as pepper spay, if you are going to a place that you may or may not be put into an uncomfortable position go to a store and get a mini hair spray. Its not expensive and it could save you from a not so good situation. Stay safe and have fun!❤ Edit: Someone has brought to my attention I forgot to mention if you are thinking of using self defence methods and or items you always have to consider further consequences, and think about ways you can avoid the situation altogether or find non violent ways to deal with the problem.

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

So for this type of situation I can only link to my video about dealing with con creeps. If it makes you feel safer, and it's legal, carry it with you. But do not use it unless you are in a situation that requires it. At cons your actions still can have legal consequences. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmSklqaMfrZ8g8U

I remember this thing my friend told me about her first convention, she was about 13 and she was cosplaying as Uraraka from MHA, and then this 15-16 year old dude dressed as Dabi (I think) started hiting on her. It made her uncomfortable but the dude didn't back off, she said that some older cosplayer came to her rescue and got the other dude to go away

[@av7388]

good on the other dude for getting the creepy Dabi cosplayer away from your friend. It doesn’t matter what age you are, hitting on a stranger is just weird and uncomfortable, and hitting on a minor makes things even worse!! It’s nasty! and when you’re that young, you’re kinda unsure what to do in that situation. So honestly, I’m really glad that someone knew something was up and came to your friend’s rescue

Hey! I was confused about this for a bit so in case anyone else is, here: If your a minor you CAN cosplay a character that’s an adult if it’s an appropriate character. For example, let’s take mha: You shouldn’t cosplay midnight, because of her costume, but hawks would be fine. :) hope this helped!

Adult cosplayer here! These are all great tips! I also 1000% recommend walking around with someone else, even as you get older. I've always had great experiences at conventions overall, but even as an older teen/young adult a few years back found myself in a couple situations where I kind of froze up and having someone with me helped a lot (older dude hitting on me at 19 where my younger sister helped me get out of the situation; that one time a girl pelvic thrusted at my friend and offered to "repopulate the clan" with her while she was dressed as Sasuke Uchiha and me and another friend had to turn around and be like "she's underaged please don't"; etc.). Another tip I'd like to add is that, if you feel uncomfortable always head to the bathroom if you can't get to con staff for help or find another way to kind of shift away naturally. When I was getting unwanted attention from that guy I mentioned earlier, I was able to duck in and kind of recollect my thoughts which was helpful. But more than that, usually if you're younger there are adults in there that will notice you're distressed or you can ask someone to get a con staff member. There was a group of friends in the bathroom touching up makeup that overheard my sister and I talking about being worried that the guy would still be out in the hall waiting, and one stayed with us while the other two went to look in the hall. After they told us the coast was clear, they told us to come back to the bathroom if we had anymore problems with him because they were going to be there a while. I've found bathrooms are almost always crowded at conventions, and usually creepers don't like to try and be creepy in a crowd. So, the bathroom can be a good spot to collect your thoughts, break away from uncomfortable situations, and sometimes even get help if needed.

As an older person who attends these events it is important for the younger generations especially underage cosplayers who wear very tight clothing you will have what I call leeches hanging around you trying to take pictures or get a close look because my generation in the 80’s skin tight clothing was still not the norm. I know you want to show off your costume but you should always have a shawl, cape or other long piece of clothing to wear when not being asked for pictures it will save you a ton of trouble down the road.

@@yeahbutwhy8788 that is correct. Skin tight clothing was all but unheard of as fashion until the mid 1980s and it was so new that parents right up until the early 2000s would have conniptions if their kid wore skin tight clothing to school or in public.it is now more socially acceptable but it is still wise to be cautious.

Honestly Tiktok isn't that safe either, tons of creeps on there. If it was before the pandemic I would say wear it outside when you're going shopping and things like that (if you're allowed) Since at the age of 11 you're probably gonna be shopping with other people so you won't feel uncomfortable because there's people to confront whoever and they don't want that-

I started cosplaying when I was 11..... And I was really into Danganronpa... (literally an anime about teens trapped in a school and killing each other) ...yeah that cosplay doesn't fit me anymore. But my mum knew who I was cosplaying, she was fully aware I chose the one actual serial killer in that series (the other characters had other talents, swimmer, author, pop sensation, cook, you get my point) and yet, that convention was the best time of my life! I still to this day don't know why she let me do that, heck, she's even played the 2nd game, but even though it's not a good idea to go to a con like that when you're 11, don't let your age stop you from having fun, okay!? Toodles~! Edit: I should of clarified that I mean I started getting serious when I was 11, I tried it out and got a bit into it when I was about 6-7.

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

You are right- never let your age stop you from having fun. I have mentioned it in the comments earlier but this series in particular has gotten really popular as of late with kids and young teens. There are so many youngsters cosplaying from it that one can almost assume that when they see a cosplay from it they may be underage. Its a strange phenomenon. But you also give a good example that your parents were aware of what you were cosplaying, and gave you permission. That's an excellent step to take since it helps with the safety issue down the line as well.

[@Creatorsan]

[@Creatorsan]

@NADIA CHRISTY I TOTALLY AM! I'VE NEVER FELT MORE FREE IN MY LIFE! When I put on the cosplay, i instantly felt like Fukawa! I know that may sound horrible, because her backstory is not really the best but imagining that I'm her makes me feel extremely flustered.. but good! Normally I'm the loner of school and even with pastel colours for clothing no one notices me. Even so.. cosplaying her made me realize how people feel when they become someone else. It's a powerful yet frightening thing, to bear the power of someone else.. yet deep down your still you no matter what. M-maybe it's because before I cosplayed Fukawa I never was in full cosplay and doing so gave me an epiphany.

[@rantaroamami4841]

Woah I didn't know so many people instantly knew who I was cosplaying! Toko was my first cosplay ever and I have another one (that fits me) because.... Wow she is so great to cosplay as and brings back so many memories!

I can’t do them often though due to price, I’m surprised they even let me use that much money on something. It was 136.00 US dollars.. my dad took me and a friend of mine to a con, and it was great.

I can't stress that first point enough. In high school, I was growing two cup sizes per year, so it's good I didn't get into cosplay until my senior year. There's also no way to stress that second rule enough either. I see 13 year olds cosplay from media with lots of implied gore and pedophilia on TikTok and it's quite disturbing that they're into these franchises. This really bothered me when I was at a con and a girl's mother was asking me about some 18+ panels her kid wanted to attend and if it would be okay with parental supervision. The girl seemed to be well under 15 and we were at an event for DDLC, which is completely inappropriate for her age group to attend in the first place. I straight up told the mother the panels were pornographic, that it would be very awkward to attend it with a parent and that if my mother knew I was planning on attending those, I'd die of embarassment or get disowned. Kids these days really, truly, firmly believe they are "above" other kids when I come to this "comparison of maturity" thing. I don't think there's any way of stopping them, even with close parental supervision.

I'm actually going to be Saiki k in regular clothes and just make TikTok's lol. I know I am still 11 but I have a tip too: If your character has regular clothes or even stuff you _think_ they would wear, you can wear that instead! Like, Ima do Saiki but not buy a uniform so Ima do his casual clothes. DO NOT ever compare your body type to others cosplaying!!! You are beautiful the way you are even if you don't believe it!! I struggled with body appearance too and now, I'm trying to eat healthily, be positive (which is really frikin hard), and work out more. You *CAN* cosplay a character if it's not your race, your body type, hair/eye color!! I know most anime/video game characters are white and there are many other people who have different nationalities and want to cosplay as them and I say go for it _(As long as it's appropriate)!!_ Don't be afraid to ask for help from somebody if you're making a costume! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN BODY TYPE TO DO IT!!! You can be overweight, a little chunky, skinny, etc. Don't let that stop you! Also, I love your Sailor Neptune and Uranus figures!!
