Tattoo at 16

3 messages · last activity 2/7/2006

Ok so I'm going to Scotland soon, Edinburgh to be precise. I have decided a range of tattoos that I like but as far as i know you can get it done at 16, Am I Right!?! My Aunt said 16 in Scotland but is it 18? Plz reply fast!
wait. If you are making any decesions about tattooing fast you are doing it wrong. Wait till you are 18-20. spend the next few years LEARNING all about art and tattoos and get a good one when you get a bit older.
I agree with Gabe, wait until you're older. At the very least, enjoy the scenery and cherish the time you have in Scotland, don't focus on getting a tattoo, especially since you'll be able to get one here ina few years. Also, FYI, when it comes to getting a tattoo, you need to be concerned with finding a quality artist that is clean and sterile, not someone who will tattoo a 16 year old. Take the next few years to find out who the great artists are and then find out how clean and sterile they are. It will only lead to greater satisfaction years to come.
