    18 is what I was told when I asked on another site. I don’t know about smoking. I was also told to never ever get a tattoo in Ireland because apparently the guy (who told me that) had had a bad experience.

    18 without parents consent , but then it depends on the place were you have it done , as for the girl above saying not to have it done in Ireland , Ireland has some of the best know tattooist and piercers Joe myler in one of them hes in Waterford. Also smoking is a bad habit to take up .

    Here in Ireland it’s 18 for both and age of consent is 17 (probably should be 16) if that’s any help.

    Any age you like. They are called transfers and you stick them on your skin. . wet them then peel it off and you got a tattoo.

    You have to be 18 to get a tattoo and you have to be 16 to smoke.

    18 without parental consent and the age is 18 for both smoking and drinking aswell!

    Most tattoo shops having a waiting list of about three months, if they can do it within a week then there’s probably a reason, i. e. they don’t get many customers because they’re crap so I wouldn’t reccomend getting a tattoo on holiday, unless you’re there for a few months. Also, if anything goes wrong once you come back you won’t be able to see your tattoo artist about it.

    Darlin’, I don’t care what kind of a tattoo you get, or where or if anyone consents, but I hope you never start smoking.

    Sounds like you should be 18, and you really dont want to smoke. Trust me. Did you know that smoking can kill you or at least give you problems? Bad idea! Have fun in Ireland!
