Twice recently, Mike Pence cited tattoo laws as justification for his view that gender-affirming care should be barred for minors, even with parental consent. But this ignores that most states allow parents to consent to minors’ tattoos.
What age laws govern the ability to get a tattoo?
Five more states set the minimum age for a tattoo at 14 or 16, as long as a parent consents and/or is present. In other words, Pence’s bright line of age 18 — above it, you can get a tattoo, below it, you can’t — prevails in about one-third of states. However, in the other two-thirds of states, minors can receive tattoos with parental consent.
"Minors can have medical treatment with consent of their guardian," Silbey said."That’s why we sign health forms for schools and attend doctor's appointments with our children."
