No. The law states 18 years and most places won't take your parents' permission to give it to underage people. Which is rather recent and also a good thing, since if you really love and design and want it, you can wait until you're 18. You will need proof of your age (passport or driver's license) and the reason for this is not only to make sure you are happy with your tattoo, which will be a part of you for as long as you live, as well as to make sure you are adult enough to follow the aftercare.

The law says it's illegal for anyone under sixteen to get a tattoo - PERIOD !

The tattooist would be charged with assault - even if he thought the person was over 18. People between the ages of 16 and 18 can get a tattoo PROVIDED they take a parent (NOT just any adult) to give their consent to the tattooist performing the work.

Doesn't matter what part of the UK you're in - the law is the same !
