Lawrence County Indiana has no law against the sale of tattoo and body piercing supplies and equipment to non-licensed individuals and minors. Laws are in effect that require a permit from the Board of Health and compliance to their environmental guidelines. The law requires an individual to be 18 years of age to apply a tattoo or to consent for one's own tattoo. If you must be 18 to get or give a tattoo, it only makes sense to prohibit the sale of equipment to anyone under 18. The law also specifies the necessary infection control procedures that are mandatory to receive a permit. If you feel that the law should be amended to prohibit the sale of tattoo and body piercing equipment to non-licensed artists and minors, please add your signature to this petition so that we can present it to our lawmakers and change this.

I honestly never thought we would see this kind of momentum when I started this back in my kitchen. It is wild to see people finally paying attention to how kids are getting their hands on this stuff because it is actually kind of terrifying if you think about it for more than five seconds.

My niece came home with a horrible infection from a scratchy tattoo she got in a basement. This is dangerous and needs to stop now.

About time. Kids have no clue how bad a staph infection can get. Keep this stuff in professional shops only.
