    As far as I know its 18. You should really wait until you have stopped growing before you get a tattoo anyway.

    There is no legal age, the studios have an unpsoken agreement to not tattoo anyone under 18 any studio that will tattoo you underage is a studio to avoid.

    Also there's no point getting a tattoo at 13 as your body is still growing and you'll be left with a stretch crap looking tattoo by the time you finish growing

    Agreed my dears...

    Principal?

    Are you in sec school or primary? Either way. You need a little maturing before you get inked. Dear.

    Yes, i have a principal, yes he went mad about it, no my parents didn't. yes, i am in secondary (in 2nd year), no i don't think i need more maturing, only for the fact that i'm still growing, i would be absoltely covered in them.

    No proper tattoo artist in the land would put ink on a 13yr old. If he goes to a backstreet artist then he deserves everything he gets.
