Question:

Would you say I looked old enough to pass off as 18 and not be ID'd in a (reasonably decent) tattoo parlour?

So, this is me. (Not great photos but that's not the issue here, I'm trying to give you a good idea of what I look like).

Honest opinions please. I'm going to loose a good bit of weight before I do anything, but have guess at my age.

  1. I'd say you were 15 or 16.

    As for the tattoo shop I don't think teens understand the trouble a shop can get into for tattooing a minor. It's not just the tattoo shop's rule it's a state law. If they were to tattoo you they can be shut down and blacklisted from ever getting another license.


  2. well if u pay by credit card then they will probly id u for that...so idk i think u look 18

    good luck! lol im 14 n have been begging my mom for one...it doesnt work tho :( lol

  3. You're adorable but they will absolutely ID you.  Sorry.

  4. you could deffinately, but they will i.d. you regardless. they photocopy your licence for there keeping, and you fill out a paper and sign it with your licence number on it. i'm 18 and i had to do this, my ma is 39 and she had to do this...

    you won't get away with anything at a reputable shop

  5. no tattoo studio with pierce or tattoo u without an ID... they photocopy it in case a problem arises they prove that they requested id... any place that doesnt ask for id is a place u should run far away from because if they arent vigilant about legal issues (they could get the bejesus sued out of them if they pierce or tattoo a minor) then what kind of condition do u think their instruments are in?


  6. Any place that doesn't ID you is not a good place to get a tattoo done.

    You could get a mad infection or a S****y tattoo.

    Always go to a clean, reputable place.

    And why not wait?  The longer you wait, it will look better years later.

    I waited 3 years, and I'm glad I did.

    It's going to hurt so why anticipate the pain?

  7. sorry, but they will id you.  just wait till you 18. you might change your mind about what tattoo you want by then anyways.

  8. you look 17 but could pass for 18. i don't know if you should, though. 18 year olds, 19 20 21 22.... well lots of people get id'd. you could get in some serious trouble.  

  9. Don't think so.  but keep in mind the tattoo parlor's license is on the line.  Even if he thinks you are 18, he is going to ask for ID.    Last thing he wants to do is get busted...../

  10. Tattoo parlors will ID you regardless of your age because they take down contact information in case they need to get ahold of you for whatever reason.

    And you look maybe 16

  11. I'm 28 and the parlors that I go to require a copy of your ID for their file no matter how old you are.  I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but I only go to parlors that are way more than reasonably decent.

    Even though you are tall, pretty, and could possibly pass for 18, the chances of needing an ID are really high.

  12. Well first off I think you look about 18-19 Honestly...

    But im gonna guess 16-17 cuz u obviously arnt 18!

    Your great hair colour makes you look older, its really mature...

    You look mature & id guess 85% u wouldnt get asked for ID,

    It all depends who it is though, if their youngish they proberly wouldnt ask anyways....

    PS By being 5'9" Im now 95% sure! lol

    Just try whats the worse they can do.. say no! and if they do just say its at home..

    Btw you look older with your hair straight... & a scarf :)

    Hope I helped..

    KTE..X

  13. you look pretty young like 14 or 15 answer mine plz:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

  14. Part of the check-in process requires them to PHOTOCOPY your ID, fill out a release form and sign it.  Any respectable tattoo place that will do a good job, and is clean will do this.

  15. 16 you dont need to loose weight  

  16. You look like you're 16, and no reputable place is gonna tattoo someone underage, they can get their license revoked if they did.

  17. Any good and reliable tattoo artist WILL check your ID before giving you a tattoo. I have 10, and they're on my arms and stuff and I still get id'd. Thats the reason that they are good & reliable. And its a liability for them to tattoo you if you're under 18...thats why they have those rules. In WA state, up until about 5 yrs ago, you could go in and get a tattoo with your parents permission if you were 16 or 17, but they changed that.  

  18. Doesn't matter how old you look, they need a copy of your I.d for their records. Besides no reputable tattoo artist will tattoo you without proof of age as they could get into  a lot of trouble if your parents  found out and decided to report them.

  19. any reasonably decent tattoo shop will ID you

    and any half-mature person would realize that getting a tattoo from somebody who doesn't ID is a stupid/immature/irresponsible thing to do

    grow up.....wait until you're legal

    and good luck

  20. First of all all tattoo parlors photo copy customer's ID's for legal reasons.  Even if you are 70 years old, you still need an ID that says you are over 18 in order to get any kind of service.  Now, if you bring in a fake ID, you could very well get away with it.  It's just so THEY don't get sued for any reason.  

    By the way, you don't look older than 18 from those pics.  The first one maybe but def not the third.  

  21. You need to be 18 for a reason(age of maturity).

    Delay the Tattoo until you are the age required,you may change your mind

  22. u luk olda wiv ur hair str8 if tht meks sense lol

    i think u look 18ish..but still quite yung

    im 17 wiv a bby face n i got a tattoo wen id jus turned 17 so my adivce is JUS TRY a few salons n go 4 it!!! x

  23. well.

    you look 17.

    and ur really prettytyyyy.


  24. hard call.

    but i would advise you not to get it done yet, you have to legally wait till 18 to be mature enough

    but you put (reasonably decent)

    when getting any tatoo or piercing you want a shop to be more than decent

    or you could end up with all sorts of infections,

    just be safe (: x*x

  25. I think your height will make a difference actually. I think you would pull it off.

    By the way, in the first picture... where did you get your scarf? I had one exactly like that but I lost it on my birthday! It was my favourite one as well.

  26. a decent place woul i.d. you if you look under 30 in my opinion, b/c they have to make sure and just looking 18 dosent cut it

  27. They have to ask for your ID to make a photocopy of it when they give you a tattoo.  

  28. if you lose weight you will look younger but i reckon you are 15/16

    if you lose weight you might not look old enough but you might get id'd anyway

  29. umm wouldn't "reasonably decent" tattoo parlours ask for an i.d. for everyone? i'd say you ask your parents to take you.

  30. I havent even looked at your pics as i only have one thing to say to you and that is it is illegal to get a tattoo before the age of 18.. the tattoo shop can be closed down if they are seen to be tattooing minors, why not wait a while and everyone will have a clear conscience? this will also give you time to decide what and where you want your tattoo as it is for life!

  31. Hang on a min you can get a tatoo at 16! :O

    Im confused :S

    But you look 18.
