how old do you have to be to get a tattoo?

As a former tattoo artist, the legal age is 18 in most states. However, with parental consent, it is 16 in the state I worked in (Alabama). You will have to find out what the laws are in your state to know for sure.

You will have to wait until you are 18.

Yeah, you can get an epidural even with a tattoo.\n\nBut don't get surgery on your back.  If at anything a surgeon have to cut though a tattoo, they sometimes can't align the skin and suture the tattoo back into proper alignment.

You're thinking the right way.  Someday you might be in a position in a job where your appearance is critical.  A tattoo in an area that isn't concealable might be a hindrance.  You can't tell what people might think of it. I've had a tattoo for almost 20 years, and only the people I want to see it have seen it.  It's normally covered and not an issue.  As a matter of fact, I am considering a rather large tattoo (at least 8") right now and have to decide if I want it to be openly seen, partially, or not at all. I'm well established in my career, and a tattoo will not influence my job.  I still think about what others might think of it, though

No, tattoo's are not sexy on a woman. I should think about how it would look on them when they get up in age. I guanrantee it won't look very nice!

I don't see what one would have with the other.  Can you get a scratch on your arm without getting sick or dying?  A tattoo is like getting a scratch.\n\nBut then again, I don't see why someone would want a tattoo.  What will it look like when you get old?

um one tatoo is ok, but i preffer little to no body art, if i ever do get a tatoo it will be small and only one, andi will make the decision on  my own account, not anyone elses.\nIf i have a bf with a tattoo or two, it isnt a problem, but i dont want a guy with numerous tatoos, that is unattractive, and i would never get a tatoo for a guy. so not every girl is like that, in fact i know few who are, so you should probably look into your source a little better on this one.

I love tattoo's, but I think you should think very long & hard about the design you want before you end up getting it. I think you should get something that will always have a special meaning to you, for the rest of your life, after all, that is how long you'll have the tattoo, unless you get it removed or covered up...Maybe you could consider getting your Scorpio symbol, or if you have children, maybe your child's name, etc...\n\nGood luck!

The right age is the age when you realize the risks you are taking with the process (healthwise and social-wise). That is basically the same age when you can finally decide which tatoos are the coolest and what image suits you best, which is the same image you'd have no trouble living with for the rest of your life. \n\nBottom line, maybe 19 or 20 years old, it depends on the person. But I'd try a Henna tatoo first, that way of you change your mind you don't have to remove it with surgery!!!! hehe

The people who think bold tattoos are hot, from a purely empirical point of view, seem to be under the age of 25, with a need to express that their tattoos are a semiotic device that delineates them from the rest of society. Empirical experience will usually bear out that these people also appear to come from a lower socioeconomic class. Unfortunately, most of these people who believe that their tattoos delineate them as unique individuals merely are expressing that they are members of a class of persons who are similar to them, ie. that they are not part of any group, when in fact they are all members of the group who thinks tattoos are unique.
