in most states a minor (under 18) can get a tattoo with a parental consent - but the parent has to be there in person with id proving that they are indeed the parent.

It depends on the circumstances.  Sometimes it is appropriate and sometimes not.  (Like in front of your parents!)

It depends on what you want testing you want.  Most states allow minors to get tested for pregnancy andm sexually transmitted diseases without parental permission.

There are a number of situations where a juvenile can go to the court and get the judge to approve something, rather than going to their parents. The most traditional is emancipation, where the court acknowledges the minor is mature enough to leave home and be legally distinct from the parents. \n\nThis concept has also come up with many health-related laws, where a minor can get the court's approval for certain medical procedures, if they are scared of their parents' reaction. The judge is sometimes empowered to authorize the procedure based on the child's mature decision, even absent parental approval.\n\nEach state's laws are different. Check your local listings.

If they have special meaning to you, you are legally old enough and you know how to look after them and have a good artist, then yes, totally go for it!  \n\nI think tattoo's are brilliant, they can form lasting memories of things, they look beautiful and even a simple design can have a complex private meaning to someone.

It depends on why you need a dr.  Most states allow minors to seek medical care without parents permission for abuse, venereal diseases, and pregnancy.

I see your point. Depending on what kind of tattoo and where its located it may not be a problem or seem inappropriate. I think before getting a tattoo an individual should think about this. There is always the option of getting it removed by a doctor. This I've heard can be even more painful then when the person got the tattoo.

Ask you parents to do it.

18 or have your parents cosign for it (i.e. agree to be responsible for the bill).

Age limit - Once the person is old enough for their skin to lose its elasticity they shouldn't be allowed to get a tattoo, it'll look far from what they wanted. I also believe kids should be at least 16 to get a tattoo, simply because of parlors out there that are shoddy and use bad equipment. Younger kids are less likely to spot that.

I don't see how that's possible. Either question. Two of our children wanted to get their noses pierced and we told them no, they could do what they wanted when they moved out. A few years later both had reached legal age and moved out, now their 30 & 33 and neither has pierced their noses. It was just a passing thing I guess. Your parents for now are your boss and you should listen to them and respect their choices for you so long as you know it's nothing to harm you.

I don;t think it is illegal, but, to be on the safe side, don't let a child in a tatoo shop.

I think it is 14 but you have to get written consent from your guardian.
