14-3-107. Tattooing of persons who have not reached the age of majority;
penalties; definition. (a) No person shall knowingly place a tattoo upon or
under the skin of a person who has not reached the age of majority, except with
the consent of the person's parent or legal guardian who is present at the time

United States passport or an identification card issued by the department of
transportation is prima facie evidence of the age and identity of the person.

upon the information contained in any one (1) of the above documents as
identification and proof of age is a defense to any criminal prosecution under
this section. (b) Any person violating this section is guilty of a misdemeanor
punishable by imprisonment for not more than six (6) months, a fine of not more
than seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00), or both. (c) As used in this

symbol or any other mark placed upon or under the skin with ink or colors, by
the aid of needles or other instruments.
