🚨 We've Had LOTS of Enquiries About Tattoo Age Restrictions... 🚨
One of the questions we've been asked the most recently is:
"Can I get a tattoo at 17 with parental consent?"
❌ The answer is NO.
In the UK, it is illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 – even if a parent or guardian is present and gives permission. There are no exceptions to this law.
To help clear up some of the confusion, we've put together our Tattoo & Piercing Age Guide, showing the minimum ages for tattoos and the different piercings we offer.
At Inkworx Tattoo Studio, we take age verification seriously to protect both our clients and our artists, so valid photo ID is required for all age-restricted procedures.
If you're unsure whether you're old enough for a particular piercing or have any questions, just drop us a message on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp – we're always happy to help! 🖤
