Best Answer

Once you are established and the shop is making money with return customers, it really runs itself with overhead being minimal, but to start...it takes A LOT OF CASH! You will need to either get a good sized business loan or hit the lottery if you want to open your own shop. There is no universal amount as to how much you would need, but nowhere under $5,000.00 dollars conservatively. You have to keep in mind all of the things aside from the obviousness of the tattoo and sterilization equipment, which would be; trademarking the shop name, getting your vendor's license, passing all health requirements, etc, etc, etc.

How old do you have to be to go into a Tattoo shop?

To go into a tattoo parlour depends on the policies of the company who own it. However to have a tattoo depends on the laws of your country. In the majority of the western world, the minimum age to have a tattoo is 18. Which is the age that you are legally responsible for yourself.

How many hours tattooing before you can have a tattoo machine tattoo?

You can pretty much buy your own tattoo machine whenever you want on the web. But it is very costly and not worth it if you have never tattooed in your life. If you've taken a class or such, then sure get yourself one! If not i do not recommend it because there are also a lot of safety measurements you need to take in consideration.


Do all states require you to be 18 to get a tattoo without parental consent?

Since my last answer was flagged, I will elaborate on this. There is NO state in the United States that would tattoo a 12 year old, nor is there ANY respectable shop that would tattoo a minor under the age of 16 even with a parent there with them, and most shops would give you flack for a 16 year old. The only way to get a tattoo under the age of 18, usually, is if you are 17 and about to turn 18, and then MAYBE a shop would tattoo with a parent or guardian there with you.In summation, there is NO state that would do this, and even if you could...most artists would turn you away just out of pure ethics. The person you are at age 12, is not going to be the person that you will be later in life, so it is for that reason, that a self respecting artist would turn you away for your own good.
