It varies from state to state and the technical rules follow as well. In some states you can be as young as 16 years old with proper parental consent, and then in others it is a Class A misdemeanor to tattoo 17 year olds even with consent. It all depends on your state, and even with parental consent, the fine print of the legislature in a few really uptight states deem that you can only get a tattoo under the age of legal consent if said tattoo is for the purpose of cosmetic enhancement generally, and this does not include the mere act of getting a tattoo because it's "cool" or "pretty", but because it is merited by a Doctor as being medically warranted and beneficial to the mental state of the respective minor.

Is there a tattoo parlor in Tennessee that will tattoo a minor?

There is no legal tattoo parlor in the United States that will tattoo someone under the age of 18 without parental consent, no matter what. If you go somewhere that will, it is an illegal facility and could be very dangerous. Many tattoo parlors will tattoo as young as 15 or 16 with parental permission. I would call your local places and ask. But if you're trying to do it without your parents, I urge you to think again. Getting a tattoo is safe if done correctly, but there are so many ways it could go wrong. The needle needs to be brand new and sterile, and if it is an illegal shop, you are putting your health and ultimately your life in danger.
