I was a bit surprised to read this story because many states prohibit tattooing anyone under the age of 18, regardless of parental consent. If you are going to through the trouble of passing a law like this, why stop at 16 when so many states have already set the limit at 18?
See U.S. Tattooing Laws by State for more info.
FERNDALE (WWJ) – A Michigan State Senator says he’s going to introduce a bill to make tattoos illegal for kids 16 and under.
Glenn Anderson of Westland says he became concerned after a social worker told him that she was seeing many extremely young children with tattoos. As of now, any child can get a tattoo or piercing with parental consent. Anderson thinks the current law that requires parental consent doesn’t go far enough. He doesn’t think anyone under 16 should be able to get ink.
