The acceptable age is the age that they do not have to have your written consent, in Oklahoma, a notarized statement. I did that for my son when he was 15 to get his tongue pierced, even then, we had to drive to Kansas to legally get his tongue pierced. I did that because he had been begging for a tatoo for a couple of years, and his 15 yr old best friend had just gotten a tatoo from his Mom for his 15th b-day. So I let him get his tongue pierced instead.
I told him that I did not ever want him asking me "Why did you let me do that?" He is now 19 1/2 years old and has not gotten a tatoo in the 18 months that he could legally have gotten one. (Kansas is only a 40 min. drive away for us).
