that depends on you, if you go to a professional shop and make sure its clean and sterile there is very low risk of contracting anything, in fact there has never been a report of someone getting a blood born disease from a pro tattoo shop in the last 70 years, that doesnt mean it cant happen and it means you should know your artist and the shop and be confident everything is new packaging and everything is clean, its your responsibility to know who is working on you. if you get tattooed by an amateur you can very likely contract hepatitus, hiv/aids, or any other blood born illnesses, also the risk of infection is very high in amateur settings.

Does anyone know somebody who will give a 15 year old a tattoo in Texas?

No matter what state you live in, all safe, clean, and reputable tattoo parlors will require you to be eighteen before getting a tattoo, or have a parent come with you when you get your tattoo. If you get a tattoo from a non-reputable place, you run the risk of infection or the art being subpar. It's best - both aesthetically and medically - to wait to get a tattoo until you are eighteen.
