How old do you have to be to get a tattoo in Connecticut?

18 in every state. You can get a form from the tattoo shop to get your parents' permission if you're underage- you have to take it to a notary, have your parents sign it in front of them then the notary signs and stamps it and then you can get a tattoo if you are under 18. Some people still get tattoos if they're under 18- these people usually know tattoo artists personally. A tattoo artist can get sued if they do work on someone under 18 if the parent really gets upset.
