Bad news, even if your parents consent, the laws have changed there, it is only legal to be tattooed at the age of 18. You have plenty of time for a tattoo. What most kids do who can't wait is find a person doing tattoos at home, most of the time they end up with a really crappy tattoo this way. Or worse they end up with an infection or bloodborne desease. If you decide to get one of these home grown tattoos, atleast do your homework and look at there previous work and then before you sit down to get it, do some more homework. Ask yourself and the person these questions: 1. Where is your autoclave? 2. Do you use new needles? 3. Do you use disposable equipment? 4. Do I really want to get a tattoo in somebodies livingroom or kitchen? 5. Is this tattoo worth my health or in the worst case, my life? You do know that nobody has ever contracted HIV from a tattoo, right? But do you know that dirty needles and equiment and/or reused unclean needles and equipment can cause Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, tetanus, syphilis, tuberculosis and other blood-born diseases. Did you know the deadly disease hepatitis C kills over 10,000 people a year? When you consider hepatitis B can be transmitted with as little as 0.00004 ml of blood, and can live on blood contaminated surfaces, such as needles, tattoo machines, tables, etc. for over two months, the risk of hepatitis is very real indeed.

∙ 15y agoYou have too be 18. There shouldn't be any exceptions, such as parental consent, but some places are less leniant than others.
I had my first tatoo done when I was 17, but that's only because I knew the piercer at that specific parlour from a bar. Therefore just assuming I was 18.
Be careful going for a tattoo when underage though, as generally places that will willingly tattoo someone knowing you're underage, they're usually a bit dodgy.
