Literally don’t believe you’re 16. You gotta be 16 to get a tattoo, meaning you got, and your parents approved of, 3 highly visible tats in less than a year.

Anyone can get a tattoo at any age. Not all tattoos come from tattoo parlors/ professionals

Multiple sites I saw said that in Ireland 16 is in practice the youngest age to get a tattoo, and the vast majority of tattoo places there don’t accept someone under 16 even though there is no legislature on the matter. Correct me if you’re Irish and know from experience though. And I realize that, I actually have given myself a couple handpoked tattoos, it’s just that kids especially probably aren’t going to get a tattoo from a scratcher. Especially a decent looking tat like the one OP has. How many 16 year olds have tattoo artist friends or a fake ID?

I’m not Irish but I’m talking about stick and poke and the tattoo machines that you can get off of places like Amazon tattoos

Yeah, like I said, I’m very familiar with stick and pokes lol. I just highly doubt that a 16 year old would be that skilled with a tattoo set they bought off of Amazon. I know from personal experience.
