Your general impression of the place is a good place to start. Past that, ask them if they have an autoclave. This is the machine that sterilizes needles, jewelry, equipment, etc. If they do not have one, chances are it's a pretty shady establishment.
But having an autoclave does not a clean tattoo make.
The place should not smell like anything but Bactine, ink, and surface cleaner.
Surfaces should be uncluttered, dust-free, and smooth.
I've said this in other posts, and I'll say it many more I'm sure:
A tattoo is a wound. It should be treated like a wound.
A tattoo parlor, then, should be as clean as a doctor's office.

Does anyone know somebody who will give a 15 year old a tattoo in Texas?
No matter what state you live in, all safe, clean, and reputable tattoo parlors will require you to be eighteen before getting a tattoo, or have a parent come with you when you get your tattoo. If you get a tattoo from a non-reputable place, you run the risk of infection or the art being subpar. It's best - both aesthetically and medically - to wait to get a tattoo until you are eighteen.
How do you know if the tattoo parlor is using a clean needle?
You don't but if you don't know the difference between 'no' and 'know' and you can't even spell 'tattoo',I would strongly advise you stay away from potentially dangerous places like tattoo parlours and try frequenting your local library or remedial English classes instead.
