You can't legally. Anyone tattooing without a license to do so is breaking the law......and that is probably not the only law that they're breaking. I am a professional state licensed tattoo artist in NH.

Yes. Most states have problems with people doing tattoos without a license for the health aspects of it. Depending on the state there are fines and even jail time involved, particularly if you tattoo a minor.

Not if no one sues, but if you do a tattoo for someone underage and their parents get upset, or if you just mess up on someone's piece, they can sue you to no end.

No, it is not illegal to tattoo yourself, just as it is not illegal to pierce yourself. As for tattooing others you should get a license. No, it is not illegal to tattoo yourself, just as it is not illegal to pierce yourself. As for tattooing others you should get a license.

you get into a license

If you do tattoo without a licence you can go to jail as there will be no consent forms signed or any of the proper procedures followed plus you can be charged with assault, actual bodily harm, wounding, actions likely to endanger life. The list goes on, so don't do it.

No its not illegal to get a tattoo at the age of 16 as long as you have parental consent. And when you turn 18 then you may get a tattoo whenever you want.

Laws vary from state to state, but the risk of disease is so high that tattooing is highly regulated. You can be hit with big fines. And there are additional penalties for tattooing minors.

Is it legal to tattoo without a license?

Yeah it's legal, people who do tattoo without a license usually tattoo at home for extra money. Which I'm thinking about doing in the future (if you do this make sure you card people, if you tattoo someone under the age of 18 without parent's permission it could get you into deep sht). But if you're trying to open a tattoo shop, It makes sense to have one though. If you do you'll be more trusted by coustomers. This statement may vary by state, but this is how it is in Indiana
