Minors

My brother wants to do body piercing and tattooing on his body. He is only 15 years and I suspect he has some mental disorders because he says he wanna make tattoo his whole face. Is it legal to do tattooing and body piercing in Georgia? He is asking our parents for their consent. I donno whether they will agree or not. However, I want to know whether parent’s consent is essential for tattooing or body piercing.

I am a licensed tattoo artist and the owner and sole operator of a tattoo parlor in Florida. Last week, I performed tattooing on a guy who came to my parlor for tattooing her hand and shoulders. He showed me his id proof that stated he turned 21 years. The next day, his friend came and asked me to tattoo his hands too. I asked his age, he was only 17 years. I told him to come up with his parents since their consent is needed. Then he asked me why I performed tattooing on his friend who too was 17 years without his parent’s consent. Later I found that the first guy showed me a fake age proof. Now am I punishable since the first guy whom I performed tattooing was a minor? In fact, he was cheating me. However, I’ve kept a copy of his fake id proof.
