It's a matter of ethics

Ron DeSantis points out that M.D.s will mutilate children by doing mastectomies, hysterectomies, penis removals in addition to drugging them up with hormones but those same children cannot get tattoos.

And he’s right and it’s more than the law.  

No ethical tattooist will put a tattoo on a child because they understand that a child is not physically or mentally done growing. (They won’t tattoo anyone who is visibly drunk or high either.)  It’s pretty simple.

I’m not going to say there’s no bottom feeder that will do it, but they are shunned in their community and generally don’t last very long.

Why aren’t ethical doctors doing the same thing to their ‘peers’ who destroy children’s bodies?

ETA–The perception of modern tattooing tends to be skewed.  As an FYI–most tattooists are skilled in infection control and sterilization techniques in addition to being artists who had to go through a several year apprenticeship to actually work on a person.  Kind of like a doctor, but with ethics and morals.

  2. B–Good point. And to add, some tattooists won't tattoo a child under a certain age even with parental consent. Unlike the butchers who use that consent as a shield.
