The law assumes a minor isn't mature enough to make an informed decision on altering their body permanently. Also, like any other service for pay, procuring a tattoo is a form of contract and a minor cannot enter a contract. The tattoo provider would have absolute liability.
At least 39 states have laws that prohibit tattoo for minors. Anyone who applies a tattoo on a minor may suffer serious legal consequences if there are any ill effects from the process. A prudent tattoo artist wouldn't take that risk. Even with parental permission a tattoo on a young child may be considered child abuse.

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.
It may be possible in some states to obtain a tattoo even if you are a minor provided that you have the permission of your parents to get the tattoo. Most commonly, a parent would need to be present. In certain states, it might be sufficient for a minor to turn up to a tattoo shop with a notarized statement. In that case, the notarized statement would be a written statement by the minor's parents giving the minor permission to be tattooed. The purpose of notarization is to ensure that the note is not forged, e.g. by the minor himself.
Yes.
Depends on the state. For example, in California its completely illegal no matter what for someone under the age of 18 to get a tattoo. In Florida, minors need parental consent. In Colorado, anyone of any age can get a tattoo (crazy i know).
