Have to wait till your 18. The new U.S. laws say even with a parent with you can't get one unless your 18. You have to show ID and they have to copy it. They now have to keep records of all tattoo they do. My little 16yr old cuz got one from a guy she knew (19yr old) and her mom turn him in. Ended up with a $700.00 fine an 30 days in jail. All for giving a $50.00 tattoo. Plus if you get one you want to get it done by some one who know what their doing. I seen some really crap homemade tats. There's alot of people that do tats that shouldn't they s-ck. Like Feebo a got a lot that i look at now and think what the hell was i thinking. Put some real thought into it. P.S. Their addictive like snakes.

[Hillsberry]

Sparta, New Jersey. Ahhhhhhh man. USA has to many laws. Lol

[infernalis]

ten years ago I signed for my 16 year old to get hers.

Times have changed.

[marvelfreak]

Tell me about it. Last tattoo i got i had to show ID to make the appointment, and when i went back to get it two days later. Mess up part i got over 20 tats at this place. At first i thought they were messing with me, but then they showed me a copie of the new law. I still thought they were pulling my chain i went home a looked it up. Sure enough there it was.

[gonesnakee]

THX everyone.
IMHO its better to wait to get inked.
I waited a long time before I started to do all of mine.
Its a big decision & is FOREVER ;)
Pay the money to get it done right at an inspected, licensed shop, where they have the experience & know how to do it properly & more importantly SAFELY.
Not only are tattoos forever but things like AIDS etc. are as well ;)
As the old saying goes good tattoos are not cheap & cheap tattoos are not good.
Wait until you have e the time & money to do so properly.
Don't let some hack make a mess on you & infect you with God knows what all over a few hundred bucks or whatever. Mark

I would go with what Mark has said. I got my first done at 17 (I'm now 24) it's a snake on my back, nicely coiled on a branch. I'm sure there's a picture of it on the forum somewhere. I then got my second 2 years ago. I waited the 5 years in between because I wouldn't rush to get one done. I want to make sure I'm ok with living with this for the rest of my life. Also as Mark said. Spend the extra money and go somewhere that you feel comfortable with and it's a real proper shop. Not the bathroom or kitchen of some guy's house in their dining room chair.

[Will0W783]

Wow, that sounds like a neat tat, Aaron. I'd love to see pictures of it. Is it a GTP?

[Lankyrob]

Tatts are great - waited 12 years to get my first but then got 4 within a year. Saving up to get another but money may go on snakes instead now!!!

Best thing about getting a tatt is the pain relief - each one gave me approx 8 to 12 hours without pain which is completely unheard of!! MAybe i can get free tattoos on the health service................

[Freebody]

i got my first tattoo at 16 on my arm at a friends bbq,we got his uncle which just closed his tat shop and moved to come over and do it for me. $50 it cost me.
my dad said NO i said Yes now i got a beutifull dragon resembling inc blob on my right arm lol dont tell my dad he was probly right about waiting and getting something i wanted although i dont regret it its all about that time in my life as far as im concerned .... :)
I like your tat , i love tats so much, "toadally awesome" thats funny , use that for sure.
