Does this mean it is legal for a person under 18 to get a tattoo as long as there is parental consent?
(A) It is unlawful for a person to perform or offer to perform tattooing upon a person under the age of twenty-one years, unless the tattooing is performed in the presence of, or as directed by a notarized writing by, the person's parent or legal guardian.
(B) This section does not apply to the tattooing of an emancipated minor.
(C) The minor upon whom tattooing is performed, or the parent or legal guardian of that minor, or any other minor is not liable for punishment pursuant to this section.

Yes. The second part of A of what you posted here says that a child can get a tattoo if their parent or guardian signs a consent form. There may be a minimum age for this though. I don't know where you live, but in VA it's 15 for a child to get one with parent's consent.

Erm. I don't know. I always thought anyone under 18 who has a tatto is against the laws.
