Legally the age is 16 to 18 in almost all areas, with very few studios being willing to tattoo those under 18 even if it is legal. That said, young people tend to change their minds a lot (and when I say young people, I'd extend that up to 25 or so). While piercings can be taken out with minimal long-term implications, removing a tattoo is a costly and painful process that should no more be treated as an option than abortion be treated as birth control.

NEW YORK STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU BE 18 YEARS OLD TO GET TATTOOED. It is a misdemeanor in the state of New York to tattoo a minor. Regardless of the law, we feel that it is not appropriate to tattoo minors. We don't care if your parents will sign for you, don't care if you already have a tattoo, and don't care if so-and-so in another shop will do it. Most reputable studios will not tattoo minors, regardless of legality. Be cautious of someone who doesn't care how old you are.

of January 1st, 2006 the legal age will be lowered to 18, but until then the legal age is 21. Please call us regarding parental consent.

Aging and the diseases of old age are all diseases which future science should be able to cure. Aging is damage. Future medicine should be able to stop, reverse and rejuvenate all aging processes. Future medicine should be able to keep everyone perpetually young and healthy. Only severe accident, suicide or murder will be causes of death. Cryonics is first aid to preserve people until the capabilities of future medicine have arrived.

Also you may be asking: Won't there be a lot of old/frail people hanging around if this works? The answer is that that there is a difference between "old" and "frail". If I showed you someone that by all outward appearances appeared to be 30 years old, would you tell me that they were "old"? What if I then told you that the person you were looking at was actually 120 years old? "Old" is a relative term to the observer (when you were 6 or 7 years, did you not think being 21 was "old"?).

It is our shop policy not to tattoo anyone under the age of 17. At 17 we will not tattoo you without the permission of your parents or legal guardian.

Yes, but keep in mind your body may be more sensitive to pain during the days right before and during your period.

It is not uncommon in our culture for babies to have their ears pierced. In many cultures young people got piercings, tattoos, or scars, as a part of growing up. From a physical point of view, assuming that there will be no major growth changes, there is no reason why young people can't be pierced, so ultimately it's an ethical question.

Performing plastic surgery on people under 18 can be difficult because the person can still grow. Ear pinning requires the patient to be at least 10 years old. The patient must be at least 18 for breast augmentations and reductions. The patient must be at least 14 for rhinoplasty. The patient must be 18 for cosmetic plastic surgery done for reasons of vanity. You can never be too old for plastic surgery, although surgeons must take into account the safety of anesthesia at ages over 65.

You must maintain a record that shows the name of the liquor by the drink licensee, date of sale, and quantity sold by brand and bottle size.

In short, the answer to this question is "No". The main reason is that no artist wants to deal with someone who is "not all there". The old adage that alcohol thins your blood is for the most part an old wives tale. Unless you went on a bender the night before, drinking liquor has too broad an effect on people to merit a simple answer. Different metabolisms handle alcohol levels differently. A person's blood pressure, iron count and any medications taken have an effect as well.

Although moles are usually benign and we go through life ignoring them, there is always the possibility that a mole could serve as an indicator of cancer. This makes the preservation of a mole important. One of the ways a mole can indicate a problem is by changing color. If it has been tattooed over with pigment, it may hinder your ability to spot any color differences. For your safety, it is best that a mole not be tattooed over. However, a mole can be tattooed around.

Everybody is getting tattooed. I do believe that the urge to get tattooed is a basic human need. Since tattooing has been around since time began, and in every kind of society. Even YOU will get a tattoo - if you do not have one already! Everybody may not DARE - but the NEED is there! That is one of the reasons why so many react negatively to a tattoo. They feel the fascination - but it scares them as well.
