Lower the legal age for getting a tattoo to 16

Lower the legal age for getting a tattoo to 16 — 9 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We believe that, as the Government considers 16 to be mature enough an age at which to vote, a person of that age should also be able to get a tattoo as it shows no direct harm. For people aged between 16 & 18 years they must however have parental consent.
