I would suggest a teacher recommendation based on your ability and strength. I don't believe it has to do anything with age, because I got my first pair at six years old.
Just make sure that you're physically ready for it. Age is not a factor and neither is waiting until your bones fully develop, because they wont until you're in your 20's.
Some people may say starting at a young age is bad, yet I did and my feet don't happen to be deformed in any way what-so-ever.
Everyone is different.
