Depends on your jurisdiction. In most places in Australia, a parent or guardian is absolutely able to provide consent for their child to get a tattoo. Good luck finding a decent tattoo artist who’s willing to take on the commission though.

    I mentioned in another post that I knew an underage girl who got hers at "tattoo parties," where a guy comes and tats everybody, no questions asked. I have no idea who arranged it, or what the deal was. You now know everything I know about it, except I know this person very well, and knew her when she was underage and got her tats, so I fully believe her. She just said "Yeah, we had a party, and a guy came and gave tats to anyone who wanted one."

    Hers were really nice, very professional looking.

    We had those, but it was always one of the punks in the friend group who had got their hands on a tattoo gun.

    The tattoos produced generally weren't great, but I could see a young dude/dudette with artistic talent putting cool shit on their friends for practice.
