How old do I need to be in order to get a tattoo?
In our studio, we strictly adhere to the laws and regulations regarding age limits for tattooing. These limits are in place to ensure the safety and health of our customers. Here are our guidelines:
Adults (18+ years)
- Independent Decision: All adults aged 18 and over can get a tattoo without the need for parental consent.
Minors (under 18)
- 16-17 years: Minors in this age group can get a tattoo with the presence and written consent of a parent or guardian. Consent must be confirmed by identification documents of both the minor and the parent or guardian.
- Under 16: We typically do not tattoo anyone under 16, even with parental consent, due to the medical and ethical issues associated with minors.
Documents Required for Minors
To ensure legality and regulatory compliance, minors wishing to be tattooed must provide:
- Identity or passport: Both of the minor and of the parent or guardian.
- Written consent: Signed by parent or guardian.
Special Cases and Limitations
There are certain tattoo designs or locations that may have additional restrictions due to their nature. For example, tattoos in very sensitive or provocative areas may not be performed on minors.
