“in many states (like California), minors are prohibited to get tattoos of any kind, while body piercings are allowed with parental consent. Even if you can find a renegade body artist (operating illegally) that will agree to give your child a tattoo, it is not a good idea for you (as the legal guardian) or the child to break the law to get tattooed…”

“Most states have made it illegal to perform body art on minors under the age of 14, and at least 39 states have enacted laws that prohibit minors from getting tattoos, while 28 states do not allow minors to get tattoos or body piercings without parental consent.”
“The reason why this is not an acceptable risk when pregnant is that any infection you develop can be passed directly onto the unborn child you are carrying.”
