Tattooing minors
Age Requirement
We tattoo clients as young as 16 years old. We do not make exceptions below this age, regardless of parental consent.
Consent Requirements
Missouri law requires written parental or legal guardian consent for anyone under 18 getting tattooed. Many of our artists go a step further and require:
The parent or legal guardian physically present at the appointment with a valid government-issued photo ID.
Note: Notarization requirements vary by artist. Some of our artists require the notarized form above; others accept Missouri's standard in-person witnessed consent (signed in front of us at the shop, no notary needed). Please confirm which applies with your specific artist when you book, so you bring the correct paperwork.
We recommend contacting us ahead of the appointment to confirm you have the correct paperwork completed, so we can avoid rescheduling on the day of.

For clients under 18, we do not tattoo the following areas:
Face
