Is it illegal for a non custodial parent to take a 15 year old for a tattoo without permission from custodial parent?

Yes, if the state require consent from the legal guardian since the non-custodial parent is not the legal guardian. And yes, because the non-custoduial parent does not have the legal right to make that kind of decision for the child. The non-custodial parent could face sanctions from the court. The custodial parent could sue to have the non-custodial parent pay to have the tattoo removed.

If there is a court order to that affect the child and the custodial parent must adhere to the terms of the visitation order. If that does not take voluntarily take place the non custodial parent can petition the court to make visitation mandatory.

What if the child's custodial parent is gone for most of the year and the child wants to be with the non custodial parent?

Then the child should petition the court (or have the non-custodial parent petition the court, more likely) to modify the custody order. If the custodial parent is "gone for most of the year" and leaving the child in the care of someone else, the court will probably consider that a significant factor.
