No minor may be tattooed unless the minor's parents have signed a consent form authorizing the tattoo. Any person who tattoos a minor without parental consent is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. The term "tattoo" means to make permanent marks or designs on the skin by puncturing it and inserting indelible colors.
