Do my parents need to come with me to get my tattoo?

Oh wow Lizzie... how foolish are you???? Have you asked your parents if you can do this?? If you come home with a tattoo (even if you think they will not see it... they will!) and they did not give permission, they could take the people who did the tattoo to court, along with the person who provided the place (your friends?) What kind of people come to a home and are willing to tattoo underage people, allowing them to sign their parents names?? I think that you should consider these things... you do not sound too mature for a 15 year old. I think you need to step back and consider all the consequences before you ever do anything like this.

they need to be there with you

they need to be there with you

yes

They need to see that your parents sign the paper themselves, it really depends on the artist, and state laws, i know in ohio you have to have your parents sign the papers in front of them

Where I live if your not 18+ you need ur parents to be there wth you.

I think you just need their permission, but depending where you live they might need to be in person to give the a ok

i know in england it's against the law to tattoo anyone under 18 with or without consent of parents, you should check the law in the USA which i'm sure will be similar, rough guess would be you have to have parents with you.

any tattooist who is prepared to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, with or without parents present are not professionals, and i would question their qualifications/experience, as well as their hygiene concerning tattoos. any tattooist worth their salt, will never tattoo someone under age and will turn them and their parents away if they have any integrity!
