It is not illegal to get a tattoo while drunk, but there are some reasons why you might choose to do so while under the influence. The main reason is that tattoos are usually painful and take a long time to heal, so drunk people might be willing to endure the pain to get the tat done. Additionally, drinking can increase your excitement and willingness to get a tattoo, making you feel more relaxed and confident. However, there are also risks associated with getting a tattoo while intoxicated- for one, you might not be aware of the potential consequences of getting ink in certain areas (such as your neck). Secondly, you're more likely to make mistakes when drunk, which could lead to complications.
