How do you complete the tattoo whim without resetting your sims age?

Since the tattoo chair is broken, from what I remember, how do you complete this whim? I swear I did this once before but cannot for the life of me remember how.

It is a "feature" (coughs) of the game that whenever an existing sim lands in CAS or one of its subsets like the tattoo function, their age will get randomized within their current age stage. For those not averse to using mods, NRaas MasterController's versions of CAS (Stylist, Tattoo, etc.) put a stop to that if a MC command is used to bring a sim into these functions. The MC Integration add-on module extends that protection to in-game commands like using dressers, mirrors, tattoo chairs, testingcheats CAS, and Create a Household (CAH).

I think MC Integration covers the spa option for tattoos too. That's the way my sims usually fulfill that wish and they don't get their age altered. I don't recall giving a sim a tattoo though MC directly satisfies that wish.
