I was hoping that someone may be able to give me an exact definition of a minor? Is the definition the same for every state? Is the determination Federal or state?
I am a body piercer in Ohio and have searched extensively for a written definition of the word "minor". The reason I ask is that states require parental consent for a minor to obtain a tattoo or piercing. I do understand that means under 18, but when does a child become a minor? I have been told that 12 is the age in Ohio, we set the minimum age for a tattoo or piercing with consent at 16 (as per our insurance company.)
I am asked a lot about ages and although I know the age at which a minor becomes an adult, I do not know exactly when a child becomes a minor!
