In Texas, there is no legal age limit for tattoos, which means that anyone of any age can get a tattoo in Texas. However, if the person getting the tattoo is under the age of 18, they must have parental consent. According to Section 146.012 of the Texas Health and Safety Code, a tattoo artist may not tattoo "a person younger than 18 years of age". There is one exception to this rule: the tattoo artist may tattoo a person younger than 18 years of age if the tattoo is intended to cover an already existing offensive tattoo and the childs parent provides consent to cover the tattoo.

To summarize, in Texas, a person can get a tattoo at any age with parental consent, except for tattoos that are considered offensive or obscene, which can only be covered up with parental consent.
