....But please think before you ink....Just a friendly service announcement.
But LOCAL laws take precedence over state laws...check laws in your city/county...just because something is legal in your state does not mean it is legal in your city or coutnty...for example...in Missouri you can tattoo a minor with parental consent however over 80% of all counties and cities in Missouri prohibit tattooing minors PERIOD!!!!....People are going to prison in Missouri for breaking these local laws and they do not play....a Missouri man got 5 YEARS for tattooing a minor...he was charged with endangering a child...a felony!!!...So even though state law allows it ...you can still end up in prison!!!
For comprehensive state tattooing/body piercing laws go to...

wow..
Taz, according to that website in my state/area it's illegal to tattoo someone UNDER the age of 14 -- but if they're 14-17 and have a parent/legal guardian with them it's a-ok. WTF?
And also, apparently the only time a license is required is if anesthesia is to be used/administered.
If they violate the age deal it's a class 1 misdemeanor, was a felony but somehow that was appealed. but a defense is if the minor showed paperwork/fooled the artist that they were of age...
this is total craziness!!! the only real restrictions i see here are saying that the tattoo's can't take place in a TENT or non-permanent structure.... this all EXPLAINS a lot about what i've seen so far in the local shops.
and. er. not like 90% of you don't know what state I live in, I'm not going to broadcast it in case any young'uns get any ideas for a roadtrip.
So is there anything in Nevada (specifically Vegas) prohibiting tattooing minors? I know Cali is absolutely no one even though tons of my friends have 'em. and hawaii is with written parent consent. but about nevada?
Oh for fuck's sake.
Did you not bother to read all the fucking posts? A link to a site that has all the STATE laws was given. Including NEVADA. Pull your head out of your ass before you post, dipshit.
