Make it legal for 16 and 17 year olds to be tattooed with parental consent.

Petition Details

I believe that it should be made legal for 16 and 17 year olds to be tattooed with parental/guardian consent.

Additional Information

The age of sexual consent is 16 but you must be 18 to be tattooed, despite the possible consequences of sex being arguably much greater than having a picture on your body that you may regret in a few years time. Tattoos can feel absolutely necessary to people, covering scars or "imperfections" is a big deal, self inflicted scars especially. I believe that people shouldn't have to wait so long to conceal those sorts of things and make changes to their bodies.
