Q: Is a 12 year old allowed to get a tattoo with only 1 parents consent, if the other parent disagrees and doesnt consent?
The 12 year old got it saturday at her mothers, the mothers husband had a friend come to their house to tattoo the 12 year old.
A: Boy, that's not a good idea on so many levels. However, based on a quick Google search, it seems that PA has no minimum age limit for getting a tattoo as long as a parent or legal guardian is present and grants permission. If you share legal custody of the child, the mother may have violated that aspect of the order but, honestly, I don't know what the court would do about it other than chastise her.
