What is the minimum age for a tattoo in England?

Answer 1

It is my understanding that there is not a minimum age as long as the parent(s) or legal guardian is present. In cases where such permission is not granted the age is 18 in most of the UK. The exception is London where boroughs are allowed to set their own licensing laws. The best option would be to contact the artist that one would like to have do the tattoo work for specific information.

AnswerI live in the Midlands and the law is that you have to be 16 with parental consent. 18 without.

Look up the tattooing of minors act 1969 chapter 24. "An act to prohibit the tattooing of persons under the age of eighteen years" You are an f***ing idiot the law has not been changed since 1969 the legal minium age has always been 18 and does not change over counties as it is the law of the United Kingdom.( u mug )

Answer 2

The technical legalities range from state to state, and accordingly, the age is different in pretty much all states. Without parental consent though and all the needed paperwork and documentation, the age is then 18.

Answer 3

Body Piercing facilities are inspected by the local health protection and inspection office and are licensed by the local city hall business licensing department. Listed in the yellow pages under heading of "Body Piercing" and or "Tattoos". All Body Piercing and Tattoo studios have age limits set by the licensing agency so age limits can vary from town to town and city to city. Prices for piercings can also vary from shop to shop as well as the requirements for parental consent. Your best bet is to call your local city hall business licensing office and ask about age requirements for your area. Then call the local studios listed and ask about shop policies and prices.

Answer 4

I "think" with parental consent you can do it whenever.
