    Tattoo Laws UK.
    Hi there!

    I'm 15, I have been Transgender since I was 6.. I'm not joking.
    Is it possible (with parental consent) to get a trans symbol tattooed onto my body at this age?

    No.
    UK law requires that you are 18 years of age.

    Here's the actual law for you: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1969/24/section/1
