Depends on your jurisdiction. In most places in Australia, a parent or guardian is absolutely able to provide consent for their child to get a tattoo. Good luck finding a decent tattoo artist who’s willing to take on the commission though.
I mentioned in another post that I knew an underage girl who got hers at "tattoo parties," where a guy comes and tats everybody, no questions asked. I have no idea who arranged it, or what the deal was. You now know everything I know about it, except I know this person very well, and knew her when she was underage and got her tats, so I fully believe her. She just said "Yeah, we had a party, and a guy came and gave tats to anyone who wanted one."
Hers were really nice, very professional looking.
