In India, many young men get tattoos for protection against bad things happening to them. Monks pray while they are being tattooed. They're mainly done with long pointed metal rods. Machine tattoos of good quality are found in Bombay and the like. But it's a poor country. Most cannot afford them. Tattoos there are done mostly for protective reasons, not as an art form. There's a different mindset over there. There is not really much of an age restriction. But they're usually not a cosmetic thing. Take care.

Answer 3

In Europe u should be in the legal age to have a tattoo, or have the consent of yyour perents to get a tattoo.... for example in Spain the legal age is 18, and i think the rest of europe is the same.... maybe some countries have 21 as legal age... but i have no idea.
But with 16 yrs u need permission of ur perents.

Answer 4

There is a reason that having a tatto at 16 is against the law,
Do you think that at 16 you can make the choice to perminantly scar and mark your skin for the rest of your life?
I know many people who have tattoos and regret having them done.
If the tattoo costs about £20 it will probably cost £400 to have it removed, and NO you cant get it done on the NHS

And yes I have tattoos.

Answer 5

If you do, go to Amsterdam, take a look in the tattoo museum, walk round and check the tattoo shops out, sort out the art work, don't rush!
Personally, tastes change as you get older, so think hard and long. Me had my first at 17, still means something to me, nestled in amongst two or three others. If I was you I'd leave it the two years, no rush, and being 18 in Amsterdam is a whole lot more fun when you can get by without being hassled for i.d. Choose wisely, good luck.

Answer 6

You really are stupid enough to want a tattoo? Go to an old people's home and see what they look like on 70 year old skin - horrible.

You are too young and immature to think about this now. What are you thinking of having done? I suppose a small one which is only seen by nearest and dearest would be OK but are you silly enough to have one that would be a pain to cover up in a few years? or a slag tag (on the back, just above the bum crease - sorry, but that's what they are known as here (kent).

Think about it for a couple of years and then see if you still want it, do it but don't expect anyone but you to pay for its removal when you have grown up!

Answer 7

Budapest is often identified whilst the "Little Paris of Middle Europe" and if you want to see that city you will need to take a look with hotelbye . Budapest is famous not just for the monuments reflecting a unique 1,000-year-old culture, but additionally for the relics of other people who settled here. Remains from equally Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks may still be observed in the city. Budapest has two factors, Buda and Pest, extending across the banks of the Danube, and they are representing two various characters of the city. Suburban Buda and its historic fortress area provide medieval streets and houses, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The vibrant Pest part boasts the largest parliament developing in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, bookstores, traditional stores and café houses.

Answer 8

if your sneaking off to have a tattoo against the rules, your not ready and your just looking for something to rebel with.which means your not ready for a tattoo, have a think about this cause this will be with you for the rest of your life, unless you have it laser'd off which hurts so much more than having it done in the first place. im very proud of my tattoos i have animal from the muppet show and a surfing tribal one i designed myself, but i waited and thought about it for a good few years, around your age till i was 21, then i had my surfer one done bout 5 years after, if you really want youll wait, i changed my mind a lot before i decided, good luck whatever you do

Answer 9

Netherlands it is 18 too.
Those places that do tattoo you when you are not yet 18, (or have your parents there,) are the kind of places better avoided.
And I am sure you can find that kind of place in every country. High risk of aids among other things.

Answer 10

Don't get a tattoo. Just think of it this way, it'll look good now but wait until you are 'old' it'll be wrinkly and seriously do you reckon it'll look good on a 60, 70, 80 year old. If you are adamant you want one, have a small flower and have it somewhere discreet. Bless.
