It is a reminder that tattoing anyone under 18 is illegal in the UK. Unfortunately, a widespread abuse of the law has been revealed.
The health advice body is issuing new leaflets to be distributed in schools. It is a reminder that using a registered tattooist will reduce the risk of infection at the site, blood poisoning and also catching serious viruses such as Hepatitis B and C and HIV.
Also using an illegal tattoo shop can leave you very very disappointed with a nasty looking tattoo!!
