Answer 2

In Australia legal age for tattoo is 18. This is considered as an offence for somebody to tattoo sum1 who is under the age of 18 apart from for medical basses. Give a look Iver the issue "Tattoos" on the young Adult webpage. Against the law tattooing runs the danger of diseases and infections from a contaminated needle eg hepatitis including B or C or AIDS/HIV. There is no official authorized restriction based on age for body piercing.
