Understanding Tattoo Laws for Minors: Personal Experiences?

Hello there. I've been researching about the legality of tattoos for people under 18 in the US. Given that laws might vary, can anyone share their personal experiences or knowledge about this? Particularly, any encounters with age restrictions while getting a tattoo as a minor?

Navigating the terrain of tattoo laws for minors can be tricky, as regulations do indeed vary by state. A fundamental question that often arises is: Can you get a tattoo under 18? The answer, generally, is no without parental consent. However, there are exceptions. My personal experience in a lenient state involved parental consent at age 16. Still, some states completely forbid tattoos for those under 18. Always research local laws for the most accurate information.
