...also lying to your tattooist to get the work done is really bad form. The law won't support them at all if it's proven that you've given false ID. Not that you would do such a thing, I hope.
Save your pennies now because you'll burn through them pretty fast getting top notch work, and there's no excuse to settle for mediocre with the two plus years of enforced study and consideration. It might not feel like it, but you're in a great position to take advantage of looking around people's books etc.
Also some of the better artists can have years long waiting lists. So there might be a wait even after you're legal.
I didn't start getting tattooed until I was well into my twenties and it's never held me back.
