It depends on the person (in the uk you have to 18 legally) but its worth remembering your style will change as you get older... I regret none of mine, but I never chose anything that suits my style, just things I find beautiful
Apparently you can be any age now to get a tattoo... I dont know if thats right though. The place I go to said you have to be 16 to get one on your own, any earlier they would want parental consent.

Anyway, I think it depends on the person. It took me about a year and a half to finally decide how I wanted mine designed.
