Where should I get my tattoo?

Anyone know any tattoo places in Edinburgh where you can get a tattoo at 16 with parental consent?

• I want a tattoo and my mum has agreed to let me get one, but I need to find a place that is good but will still let me get one as I am only 16. I live in Edinburgh and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good places in Edinburgh where they will let me get a tattoo.

  No, it's illegal and any tattoo shop willing to break the law will probably give you a poor quality tattoo you'll regret getting later in life. Wait until you're 18, save up your money, do your research, and go to a shop that does high quality work and pay to get something that is well done. The tattoo I got when I first turned 18 is cheap and looks terrible. I'm going to be paying thousands to have it removed, because I didn't think about it long enough and I went for cost, not quality. The tattoo I spent a lot of time thinking about and paid more to get an amazing artist design for me, I absolutely love. Tattoos are definitely something that cost more for better quality, but are worth the cost. When you're 18, go to Love Hate Tattoo Studio at 59 Newington Rd, Edinburgh EH9 1QW. They do very good work.
