What is the legal age to get a tattoo in China?

Question

One of my friends is doing an article on tattoos and piercings and she needs to know what the legal age of being able to get a tattoo in China is. It would help her a lot because its one of the highest economical and industrial areas of the world.

Answer 1

Actually there is no certain rules on that issue. But most parents in China won't allow their children to do that. If there is an age limit, I think that'll be 18. In China children are strictly controled by their parents, so things like tattoo are usually forbidden until they can make a living by themselves.

Answer 2

i would think its about 17 years old in china
