No reputable tattoo artist will tattoo you.
According to the law, it is illegal to tattoo anyone under 18 in Washington, apparently not even with parental consent. So, I for one, would certainly be interested in what shop you intend to have do your tattoo. It should also be mentioned that, in many states, it can be deemed 'child abuse' to assist an underage person in obtaining a tattoo, something your folks might want to consider. Doc
In most states it is illegal to tattoo anyone under 16, even with parental consent. In Pennsylvania the only way is for medical purposes specified by a doctor, ie. coverage for scarring etc. and even then its not for ornamental reasons. Just wait, do some research in the next few years and figure out what you really want and who you want to do it, you'll end up with a better tattoo and be much happier in the long run, take it from someone who tattooed themselves when they were 14 and ended up covering it as soon as they were legal.
I know you want a tattoo real bad and I am just a person who's opinion who really doesn't matter to you but you are making a big mistake. At the age of 15 no good artist will tattoo you. Trust me on this. You may get a shady looking artist taking care of you in a kitchen and end up with a very bad tat that you will have for the rest of your life. If you waite till you're 18 then you can get a great tattoo that you will live. Please at l;east think about waiting. Yopu've waited 15 years. What's 3 more?
