As the saying goes ” Age is all in your mind ” We believe the best time is based on the level of maturity not age. Although different age groups have pros and cons as long as you know what you want in life and you have time and money go for it.
We’ve made some pros and cons up for different age groups that we’ve seen over the years. This is our opinion based on experience and may not apply to all that fall in these age groups.
Minors - under 18 years:
Pros - great skin, usually heals fast.
Cons - usually will not sit well when it comes to pain, undecided on what they want, aftercare is usually not taken serious. More likely to regret their tattoo later in life.
18 to 30 years old:
Pros - Usually sits well during the procedure, Has a job and knows where it will be acceptable to get a tattoo and can afford it, Skin is usually healthy and will heal fast.
Cons - Warning - This will be addictive - your more likely to become an addict.
30 and older (Our oldest Client being 77years old!)
Pros - Very good clients! Sits very well - high pain tolerance, very unlikely to regret their choice in a tattoo, puts more time and thought into what they want, usually has a permanent job or is retired and has the money to get what they want, great conversationalists.
Cons - More likely to have health or medical issues that can prevent them from getting a tattoo or slow healing, skin is thinner and the artist needs to have experience when tattooing anyone in the 50 and older range with this type of skin.

im 17 and was wondering if i get a tattoo around my age
would it blur cause of my growth?
possibly, if done in an area where the size could change considerably over time. Like your biceps, that area can even grow to the point that a centered tattoo at 17 could be offset to the front of the arm by the time your 30 if your working out. Other than that, color tattoos can fade over time, black and gray will always look the same.
