In Georgia, you must be at least 18 years old to legally get a tattoo. It is unlawful to tattoo anyone under the age of 18, with no exceptions for parental consent. The only exception is if the tattoo is performed by a licensed physician or osteopath, or a technician acting under their direct supervision, and only for medical or cosmetic purposes—not for general tattooing
. Violating this law is considered a misdemeanor, which can result in penalties including fines or jail time
. Tattoo artists and studios in Georgia strictly adhere to this age requirement, and no tattooing of minors is permitted under state law
. Therefore, the minimum age to get a tattoo in Georgia is 18 years old, without exceptions for parental permission.
