Can you get a tattoo at the age of 17 without parental consent?

Answer 1

Yes, there are a number of states that allow you to get tattooed with parental permission. It may require the parent to accompany you in person to the tattoo parlor. In some states you can only get one if it is to cover another tattoo.

Answer 2

Answer

I am a tattoo artist and yes you can get a tattoo at 17 years old without parents consent from age 12-16 you have to have parent consent to get tattoo/piercings in Missouri you are considered a legal adult you can move out and the police will not bring you home if you get in trouble when you are 17 your parents will not get in trouble you will be charged as an adult once you are 17

Answer 3

In New York City at least it is 18, with or without parental consent, apparently due to the number of minors who got consent of one divorced parent, but not the other. this is according to http://www.risingdragon.com/FAQ/FAQ.html

Further checking shows it to be the same in the rest of New York State, probably for the same reason. http://tattoolous.com/age.htm

No opinions, just the facts.

Answer 4

You could but most likely not at a shop.. I'm 15 and i got two done, one on my right shoulder and one on chest. I paid $30 and $35 because I knew the person. But finding a good tattoo artist that would do you is like finding a needle in a haystack

Answer 5

It depends on where in the world your panning on getting it done, but with the exception of China, most countries/states require you to be 18 years old or older. Therefore i would say just wait a year or 2 rather than rushing ahead and comprimising your tattoo by going to a shop which is willing to tattoo minors (this is NOT a professional shop, therefore i would not trust the artists to do a good job, or a job that is as good as it could possibly be).

Answer 6

yes...but you need a parent or legal gaurdian to be with you.

Answer 7

Some places allow it, you would have to phone up some tattoo shops in your area and see if any of them would. You would also have to get consent from your parents or legal gardian.

Answer 8

I hope not. you can wate 1 year

Answer 9

YES
