Well I got mine done when I was 16, and I some some others that have posted in this thread have had them done underage too.

The end of the day, go in, ask what you want, if they id u, say you left it at home.... and don't return.

Its a lottary if they i.d you or not. I never got ID'd nor did my bro. We both had ours done a few months of leaving school, well actually, my bro had his done when he was in school!

If you REALLY want a tatt.. then i suggest going the way dog suggested and just going in and being bold about it.. dont get "your mates uncles cousins sister" to do it, but just run the risk with being ID'd

Its how I got mine done.. just went straight in with a design, and talked confidently, but not full of it..
im still 17 and getting my third on saturday

Exactually, my money went to the chaps beer for the night.

I know its not exactually right, but then, so is drinking under 18, and how many do that?

Just don't look shifty lol

I am getting 2 done soon, but I have no worries anymore, I am 22

Surly your Dad has to pass some sort of test? for Skill & Hygiene?

Can't be that simple, buy the kit and you're done.

Anyone can buy a kit, but if you want to do it as a trade, you have to get licenced.

I think you can have a tattoo with parents permission as long as your over 16?

Oh right, Well im not even 16 yet so i guess it dont really matter

Oh well thanks for your help everybody , ill have to wait

*Topic closed* lol

Also.

Mate, if your not even 16 yet, do you really know you want a Mini as a tat?

I got into Minis when I was 12, 10years later I've finially decided to walk away from the scene. So to me, you remind me of what i was like when I was "fully into" Minis, and well, if I had got a Mini done as a tat, I'd be regreting it now.


Remember, tats stay forever, unless you have a large bank balance to have them removed, and even then, leaves a scar...

Choose and think wisely.

[cambiker71]

It shall be an offence to tattoo a person under the age of eighteen except when the tattoo is performed for medical reasons by a duly qualified medical practitioner or by a person working under his direction, but it shall be a defence for a person charged to show that at the time the tattoo was performed he had reasonable cause to believe that the person tattooed was of or over the age of eighteen and did in fact so believe.

There we go should clear things up

Very interesting and clear, except, what medical reasons would you need a tattoo for though??

A tattoo will last your entire life so, if it is something you really want, you will still want it when you are 18.

I don't like preaching but really, think about it long and hard. Go to a reputable parlour, not the cheapest. And wait until it's legal.

[Hannioli]

Something you might want to think about besides the legality of getting a tattoo, is that you are still young and you're still growing and so there is the chance still that your skin will stretch and this can cause distortion of any tattoo you get.

I'd say think about it for another couple of years at least and if you still want it then, then you'll probably still want it in years to come.

And completely agreed with what Lisa said.

Yeah ok.
Couldnt you have the colours filled in, i suppose its a bit like a scar ive got on my left arm, it used to be really bad, i pulled the kettle down on myself when i was 6, luckily it only got my arm, my mum had only been out of the room for 2 seconds, but anyway, it started of massive, and it getting smaller now so i will proberly end up with a little diddy mini so it wouldnt really be worth it lol

Thanks to all for commenting

It can be the same as any cosmetic surgery for genuine medical reasons. Peope can become very depressed by being seen as being different or have real needs for reconstruction or what is known as permanant make-up. As part of reconstructive surgery after an accident or disease or simply natural deformity various body details can be re-instated by tattoo, including the areaola after breast surgery or the shape of the lips after a hare lip / cleft pallet reconstruction. Skin details can be replaced following grafts or scar therapy.

Also, various radiotherapy procedures for the treatment of cancers use a marker tattoo or a series of them to provide proper repeat alignment of doses to a tumor. Other therapies also use tattoo markers.

Some people are also being tattoo marked with medicalert information now. People who may be allergic to common treatments or have certain serious conditions have the information permanantly marked on them.
