in most states you have to be 18 to sign yourself, or if you're not that old you have to have a parent or guardian with you.

i think that if you have your parents permission, than you should be able to get a tattoo at any age. preferably about 12.

well here.. we cant do a tattoo on a minor
( under the age of 18)
unlessssss... the parent takes the Minor to court and gets a consent form the judge... buuuuuttt it can only be for covering up a "gang tattoo"....  but we can do a piercing on a minor.. with the parents consent ONLY!....  both have to bring an id.. ( something with picture and DOB )
it can be any kind..........

I've done a fairly extensive amount of research on tattoos, and the age limit (usually) is 18.  However the age limit with parental consent (signed form) is 16.

in illinois you have to be 21 to not have to have parents permission. how dumb is that? a few states are still 21 as far as i know, but most are 18. they might be changing illinois to 18 though. i'mtrying to find out, if anyone knows....
