What is the minimum age for a tattoo in England?

It is my understanding that there is not a minimum age as long as the parent(s) or legal guardian is present. In cases where such permission is not granted the age is 18 in most of the UK. The exception is London where boroughs are allowed to set their own licensing laws. The best option would be to contact the artist that one would like to have do the tattoo work for specific information.

AnswerI live in the Midlands and the law is that you have to be 16 with parental consent. 18 without.

Look up the tattooing of minors act 1969 chapter 24. "An act to prohibit the tattooing of persons under the age of eighteen years" You are an f***ing idiot the law has not been changed since 1969 the legal minium age has always been 18 and does not change over counties as it is the law of the United Kingdom.( u mug )
