This is for the safety of the minor and the tattoo artist. If a province does not have a legal status that sets a minimum age, it ultimately depends on what the tattoo parlor allows. If you`re not sure about tattoo laws in California, let us know and we`ll help you resolve any questions you may have. In all cases, parental consent is required, the parent or guardian must be present during the tattoo, and in some cases, a doctor is required to perform the tattoo or be present. Aside from Health Canada`s recommendations, there is currently no provincial law in Saskatchewan that limits the age of consent for a tattoo. So, how old do you have to be to get a tattoo? For all states in the United States, the minimum age is 18. The legal age in the UK, Canada and Australia is also 18. In some cases, you may be able to get one under the age of 18 with parental consent, but that depends on the state. I was talking to my artist the other day about how I knew a child when I was younger and had a tattoo at 10, she didn`t seem surprised at all. She said that while most tattoo parlors won`t, you can give tattoos to a child of any age with parental consent. At the time of writing this guide, Canada did not have specific laws limiting a national minimum age beyond which a person must get tattooed without parental consent. However, as noted earlier, some provinces have taken steps to implement their mandates, with some still leaving the final decision to parents.

In jurisdictions where strict rules or regulations apply, each tattoo artist and tattoo shop is free to set their own policies regarding age. In Ontario, there is no minimum age to get a tattoo. However, the 18-year-old requirement is the most common. The law states that a parent can allow a child under the age of 18 to have one if they have also received an identification card issued by the Ontario government. Other than Health Canada`s voluntary guidelines and recommendations, there are no age restrictions on tattooing in Manitoba. The Government of Alberta and Health Canada have released their guidelines for tattoo artists. Health standards suggest that individuals must provide “informed consent” (including those 18 years of age and older). There are no specific laws covering piercing and tattoo parlors when it comes to safety, employee training, and cleanliness, so you need to be informed and careful. Trying to follow all the state and local regulations for tattooing minors can be difficult. Just because a state law allows it doesn`t mean a tattoo artist will consent to tattoo a 13-year-old. For minors under the age of 14, some judges and lawyers believe that the law does not require parental permission for certain types of piercings, such as piercing a navel or ear. However, a tongue piercing or tattoo would require permission.

Other judges and lawyers believe that authorization is required in all situations. The rules serve your safety and well-being as well as that of the tattoo artist and the shop.

However, because signing consent technically involves a contract, contract laws may apply and, as a result, many tattoo artists and businesses adhere to the recommendation of 18 years or older for approval without the permission of a parent or guardian. The law protects young teenagers and further restricts their choices. After all, getting pierced or getting tattooed is an important decision.
