Require local authorities obtain DBS checks before licensing Tattoo Artists

Petition Details

Local Authorities should be required to do DBS checks on Tattoo Artists before granting licenses, to identify past offences. The decision of whether to grant a licence would be on a case-by-case basis (minor/non-violent crimes should not exclude tattoo artists).

Additional Information

Tattoo artists are in a position of power, with a client.

Tattoo processes are often intimate experiences, close contact, sometimes in an isolated space alone with the artist and people should be able to be confident that they are safe.

Too many people have been abused within this industry; clients AND other tattoo artists. We must do better to protect them. Requiring DBS checks tis one step closer to being a safer, inclusive industry.
