please sign this petition to ban the sale of tattoo equipment to unlicensed people and help prevent infections and bad tattooing by untrained people

I have been hearing from so many people who suffered permanent scarring from amateur work and your stories are the only reason I keep pushing this forward. Getting this equipment out of the hands of those who refuse to follow basic safety protocols is a battle worth fighting until we finally see change.

Seeing this grow so quickly reminds me why I started this fight after my own infection. It is incredible to know that so many people see the danger in these unregulated tools.

my cousin got a horrible staph infection from someone who bought their kit off ebay. stop letting kids buy this stuff.
Safety first. You need a license for a reason.
too many backyard artists out there with zero training. shut down the supply to the hobbyists.
seen way too many people get serious infections from kitchen table artists. it is not worth the risk just to save a few bucks.
BOUT TIME. these scratchers are ruining the industry and putting people in the hospital. keep the gear in pro hands only!!
