In Florida, the minimum age to get a tattoo is 16 years old. However, there are specific conditions for minors aged 16 or 17:
- No one under 16 may be tattooed, except for medical or dental purposes by licensed professionals.
- Minors aged 16 or 17 can get a tattoo only if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- Both the minor and the parent/guardian must present government-issued photo identification.
- The parent or guardian must provide written notarized consent on the state-mandated form.
- The tattoo must be performed by a licensed tattoo artist or a licensed medical/dental professional.
These rules are mandated by Florida law to protect minors and ensure proper consent and identification are verified before tattooing
. Additionally, tattoo studios may have their own policies, such as refusing to tattoo minors under 18 or restricting tattoo placement on minors
