How can a 15 year old get a tattoo in Colorado?

Question

Is it possible for me to get a tattoo at 15 or do I have to wait until I am 16?

Answer 1

I like in the UK and the law here is nobody under 18 can get a tattoo...at 15 I tried to tattoo myself and it was a bit silly because I wanted one so badly, but why don't you consider piercings for now and wait until you're a bit older, I'm now 20 and have 3 tattoos...I got one on my 18th birthday and it was a super present and worth waiting for =)

I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you will grow up a lot in the next few years and might regret it when you're a bit older, it's worth waiting for...

And if you must get something small in a not noticeable place just so you can see what the pain is lik etc,

But bear in mind most reputable artists won't tattoo minors so it's worth waiting until you're older to get a really good artist, it's worth waiting a couple of years and then be really happy, it's a lifelong choice you'll have that ink in your body forever =D x

Answer 2

In the United States, there is no federal law stating a required age to be tattooed. In most states, when a person reaches the age of 18 in the U.S., they are legally considered an adult. Many states require that the person being tattooed is an adult over 18, but some states do allow minors (17 or less) to be tattooed with parental consent







Colorado





No minimum age to receive a tattoo or body piercing is established in Colorado's state code or regulations. However as stated above, artists may choose to establish their own internal rules for purposes of liability

Don't, you'll regret it. If you want one find the tattoo you want. Hang up a picture of it on your wall. If after a year you still like looking at it on your wall, you won't get tired of it on your body. Also! Make sure to go to a good tatto parlor. It'll be worth paying extra.
