    there is a load of threads about this have a search, there isnt any legal age but good tattoo parlours normally dont tattoo anyone under 18 and to be honest I got a tattoo when I was 17 im only 20 now and if I had waited even a year I would have relised it was a bad decision so you should really wait until your 18 for your bodys sake theres no need to rush it. best of luck with it.

    Wait until you're 18. No reputable studio will ink you until then.

    Ugh, I'm disappointed in you Raze, anybody who's anybody knows that it's called 1337 or 13375p34k...:rolleyes:

    :pac:


    But anyway OP look at it this way, there are no laws or regulations in Ireland regarding tattooing or piercing, however it's considered good practice not to tattoo minors, just like it's considered good practice to be extremely careful about not risking transmission of blood-borne diseases between clients, as such many of us feel that if a studio is willing to be flexible on one....:eek:

    Most studios won't ink you until you are 18, although I know a lot of people that have gotten tattoos under that age, but I'd say go with Dublin Ink or Wildcat, they are the best in my opinion, I have one done from each
