Legislation in West Virginia would set the minimum age minors can receive their first tattoo and would ban indoor tanning for all children.

The Senate voted unanimously Wednesday to prohibit children under age 16 from receiving a tattoo. Parents must give their written consent at the tattoo shop for their teens ages 16 and 17 to receive a tattoo.

An adult relative can take a teen to the shop and give consent under the current law, cutting parents out of the decision.

Another bill moving through the Senate would prohibit anyone under age 18 from using an indoor tanning bed. The American Cancer Society supports the bill because teens and young adults are at a higher risk of developing skin cancer from just one indoor tanning session a month.
