Many tattoo parlors have limited who they tattoo in terms of age now. When my boyfriend was your age, he was able to get a tattoo because he had his parents permission. Now he has 7, but then again, he's 24 years old. When I wanted to get a tattoo at 17, they had changed the rules where I couldn't get a tattoo until I was 18 years old.

You have to do your research. Tattoo parlors aren't like McDonald's where they are everywhere, owned by the same company. Shops are owned and operated by regular people wanting to give people something to make themselves stand out. Find a tattoo parlor who would be willing to tattoo you at 16. If one doesn't, move on to the next one. Only go to well-known ones in your area. You don't want to go to a shady shop since infections are spread quite easily this way if things aren't properly taken care of.
