It depends on the jurisdiction. It would be good to annotate this answer with details for each country.

Japan: 20 years

Singapore: No legal age restriction at the moment, but artists usually impose restrictions.

United Kingdom: 18 years

In NC, it's illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, so your parents couldn't 'consent' to it anyway, even if they wanted to.

A person under 18 will have to have permission to get a tattoo in North Carolina. This is not something one can do on their own unless they are a legal adult.
