What is the minimum age to get a tattoo in PA?

Answer 1

I'm a body piercer in Sharon, pa. the legal age is 18, although, you can get pierced at 16 if you have a parent/guardian's signature for certain piercings such as the nose, navel, eyebrow, lip, tongue, septum, and certain ear piercings. ear lobes and cartlige can be done as young as 10 although most shops won't do it under the age of 14. piercings below the waist and nipples CANNOT be done under the age of 18 and that is a state law.

Answer 2

You must be 18 to get a tattoo in Pennsylvania without the consent of the parents or legal guardian. And there appears to be legislation that doesn't allow the parents or guardians to actually consent.

Answer 3

There is no minimum age. It is up to the artist or parlor. Most of them require you to be at least 16 years of age due to the fact your body is still growing and can easily distort the tattoo if gotten much younger.

However, if you are under the age of 18 you must have parental permission and the right forms of identification. The parent must be present both to sign the waiver and in most cases during the procedure itself. If an "artist" is willing to tattoo you under 18 and doesn't ask for proper id or your parent i'd advise you to leave at once.

Answer 4

As with any professional body piercing, prices can vary from studio to studio and city to city. Your best bet is to call the local shops in your area a do a little price shopping, but be sure you ask about the piercer's experience and training as well as spore tests, health inspections and age requirements. Do your home work before you buy, and don't base it solely on price, good piercings are not cheap and cheap piercings are never good.

Answer 5

18 years of age.
