Re: tattoo

Good Afternoon,

Under California Penal Code section 653, any person who tattoos or offers to tattoo a person under the age of 18 is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year imprisonment in county jail and/or a fine. This is the maximum penalty, however, and your attorney will likely work to get a better deal or fight the case at trial.

Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions regarding Penal Code 653.

Regards,

Solomon Chang
