Hi Jack
Although it is legal in Nevada to have a tattoo at 16 with a parent or legal guardian’s permission there are many here (incl myself) who simply think that tattooing a minor is wrong.
Also for many of us who are non-american the min age is 18+ anyway.
Tastes change rapidly and everybody I have met who had a tattoo done between 14-18 have ended up getting a cover-up.
Whilst you maybe the the exception to this rule – you will understand if I do not recommend an artist to you.
In fact any decent artist will refuse until you reach 18 regardless of the laws.
What is the rush?
Take Care
