It Used To Be Illegal To Get A Tattoo In New York City

TRUE

Between 1961 and 1997, it was illegal to get a tattoo in New York City in America after a hepatitis scare broke out in the 1960s. This meant a number of underground tattoo parlours opened up.

It was illegal inMassachusetts until 2000 – with penalties including jail sentences. Now getting a tattoo is legal in every US state.
