In reply to the discussion: Georgia Mom Arrested for Allowing 10-Year-Old to Get Tattoo [View all]RZM
(8,556 posts)16. I agree. The artist was obvioulsy not familiar with Georgia law on the subject
Which states that only a doctor can give a child a tattoo. Either that or they didn't care about violating the law.
That being said, this case alone shows that tattoos are not the same as valid ID. I once accompanied a friend to get a tattoo when we were both 17. Her parents were not present (I don't know if she had a note or what. It was a long time ago). Regardless of the law, tattoos do end up on minors.

The tattoo artist is also to blame for not requiring ID. You can't get one under 18 in PA either.
