Government considering legal age limits for tattoos

Tattooists and body piercers could be forced to register with the government under new proposals.

The Department of Health and Social Care has launched a consultation into new laws which it says would impose legal age limits for things like cosmetic fillers, piercings and tattoos.

It would also mean anyone offering those services would have to register with the Department of Health and Social Care.

You can take part in the online consultation, which closes on Friday, October 3, via the government's consultation hub.
