What is the minimum age for a tattoo in England?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is my understanding that there is not a minimum age as long as the parent(s) or legal guardian is present. In cases where such permission is not granted the age is 18 in most of the UK. The exception is London where boroughs are allowed to set their own licensing laws. The best option would be to contact the artist that one would like to have do the tattoo work for specific information.

AnswerI live in the Midlands and the law is that you have to be 16 with parental consent. 18 without.

Look up the tattooing of minors act 1969 chapter 24. "An act to prohibit the tattooing of persons under the age of eighteen years" You are an f***ing idiot the law has not been changed since 1969 the legal minium age has always been 18 and does not change over counties as it is the law of the united kingdom.( u mug )

How much is a defective equipment ticket cost in Virginia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It can vary due to what County you were in at the time. In Roanoke Virginia the fine is $30 plus a $51 "processing fee" and $15 "local fee". So the answer, if your ticket was issued in Roanoke Virginia, is $96. If you get the issue corrected within 15 days you can usually have the charges dropped without ever going to court, again that will depend on where you got the ticket.

Is Upshur County Texas covered under the open range law?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Texas, all counties are "open range" unless the county has voted to restrict all or certain animals from roaming. This doesn't apply to state or US highways, etc., but if you're on a county road, watch out for cows and horses! And I believe that Smith County, in particular, is unrestricted.

26 of the 32 counties in Ireland are part of an independent state called the Republic of Ireland. The other 6 counties (which are still occupied by British forces), plus Britain, make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Within the UK, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales each have a devolved government. England does not All four are ruled overall by the UK Government, the UK being a constitutional monarchy ruled by the British Prime Minister in the name of the British monarch.

Can a stun gun knock you out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

think so if its set at its top level of power

ANOTHER VIEW:

If you use a 5.5 Million volts stun gun, the following will happen:

Touching someone with a 5.5 million volt stun gun, for less than a second, causes muscle contractions. Stunning an attacker for 5 seconds will cause mental confusion, loss of balance and loss of muscle control, leaving the person in a complete daze. Even if you simply fire it up in the air, it will make people stay away from you!

If the stun gun is weaker, you can get the same results if you touch them for a longer period of time.
