How Old Do You Have To Be To Own a Tattoo?

Question

Get // Own...

Same Thing

Answer 1

Well to be honest with you, if you have permission to get it done by a parent i believe in the United states to get a piercing and or a tattoo you need to be at least 12 but my niece got her belly pierced at 10 but let me tell you that i would never let that happen.  otherwise you have to be 18 to get it done without permission from a legal guardian or parent..

Answer 2

18

Answer 3

In some places with your parents permission you can get 1 at 14 or 16.

Answer 4

To OWN one? Well, to GET one, usually 18.

Answer 5

Luckily for most places, it's 18.  Getting a tattoo is a big decision...after all, you will have this on your body for the rest of your life!  Your interests as a younger teen will probably drastically change.

It kind of parallels the way people decorate their living spaces.  Think of what a teenager's room looks like compared to what an adult's bedroom looks like.  It might just be me (and I'm probably dating myself here), but if I would have tattooed my body to match my bedroom as a teenager, I would have tattoos of Kirk Cameron, Michael J. Fox, Johnny Depp, Corey Feldman, etc. all over (shudder...lol).  You get the point though...you simply outgrow a lot of the things you're obsessed with as a teenager.  

Probably better to wait until you are a little older, more mature, and your tastes are a bit more sophisticated before permanently marking your body.  But that's just my opinion, of course.  Well, that and the opinion of your future boss who wonders why the @#$%^ you have Hannah Montana on your arm...rofl

Answer 6

Answer 7

I'm pretty sure its 18.

Answer 8

Most places is 18, but a couple let you at 16 without parental consent.  

Answer 9

to own one, any age.. just don't tell anyone where you got it done.

to get one, at most places, 18.

if you're too young, I suggest waiting rather than going to so sketch place that doesn't check I.D.  I've seen a lot of tattoo f*** ups, they don't look too pretty.
