Should I 0 or 1 on a Form W4 for Tax Withholding Allowance being a dependent?

Hello,

I am currently 21 years old and single and I will start a new job (my first job). I am on the process of filling a W4 form and I am not sure what should I put as allowances.

About me:

I am claimed as dependent on my parent's tax form and I have 0 dependents. I hear that I am safe to put 1 so I can get paid more but I am not really sure if it will lead to an issue with the IRS. 

What do you think? Should I put 0 or 1?

Note: The state is WA.
