The minimum age is currently 18, but it will soon be increased to 21. Do you know where you are going to be getting it? If you live close to Champaign, I got mine at New Age. ( it was my first, for my 25th birthday) and the guys there were really helpful!Minimum age for tattoos with parent consent in illinois?
All the information is WRONG. It USED to be 21 and now it is 18 and there is no parental consent options either.

Actually, you must be 21 in Illinois, and parental consent doesn't matter. A lot of people go over to Indiana to get tattooed. I live in a college town, so believe me, I hear people complaining all the time about it.
In the state of Illinois, it is illegal to tattoo a minor regardless of parental consent. Right now the legal tattoo age is 18, but there is a bill in the works to up the age limit to 21. But as far as I know, it hasn't been passed yet.
If you do find someone willing to tattoo you as a minor, run the other way as they are breaking the law. They may be willing to break other laws such as reusing needles and not using an autoclave.
If you are a minor, take the time to think about and perfect your design so you will not have any doubts about it.
