piercing/tattoo parental consent laws for NC?

hey everybody. I have a rather stupid and embarrasing but pressing question.

does anybody know the age you can get a tattoo/piercing without parental consent in the state of north carolina?

you see,I’ve heard it was 18 w/proof of ID but I’m not so shure and I got some piercings done a few months ago and just old them I was 18 and they took my word for it.

reson im asking is I want to get a tattoo done but I havent got my liscence yet [[I know audible gasp here]] and I need to know if I can go and get it done now or if I need to get my liscence fisrt.

thanks =]

Answer #1

The age is most likely 18 - and most tattoo artists will want proof of your age because a tattoo is much more serious than a piercing. Piercings you can take out and a tattoo is on you forever.

Answer #2

“Tattooing- Prohibits anyone from tattooing a minor under age 18.

Body Piercing-Prohibits anyone from piercing any part of a minor under age 18 other than the ears without the prior consent of the custodial parent. “

Answer #3

the legal age is 18 on both in NC and most shops won’t even allow people under the age of 18 to even be inside a place that does these as well.
