Answer 8

18.

But, it's possible that you could go to Venice, or some place else that is known for their unconventional habits, and they might not ID or might just assume if you look older.

I know that, however, you could go in there with an older adult, or friend, and pass them off as your mom or dad.

I used to do it all the time, just make sure you call them daddy and they'll buy it.

Tattoo parlors are much more official, and need ID from you and your gardian - they could get in huge trouble if they messed up, so they take it seriously.

Answer 9

Answer 10
