According to laws in Victoria, Australia, it is not permitted to tattoo any person under the age of 18.
The citizens must, of course, follow the law, but it seems bizarre to stop young people from getting tattoos when they are the ones, who are really crazy about inking their skins. Considering the popularity of the art, the government must change the law, especially when it is not at all risky with the latest tattoo guns, approved pigments and hygienic and state-of-the-art tattoo parlors.

I’m 15 and I’ve created this really cool ouroboros tatto I want to get on my right wrist. My parents are cool about it and all but the stupid laws stoping me from getting it. Tell me what you think.
Zac, you don’t have any choice but to follow the law at the moment. Anyway, it’ll be better to wait for a few more years, in case you’re able to scoop out a better tattoo idea; after all it’ll be there for whole of your life. Just think about it.
Thanks and All the best

Thank Vikas
I’ll think about it after all I have a whole sketch book full of tattoo ideas to look over.

I am doing a documentary for a school assignment on tattoos. I have been searching the Internet for information on the laws for tattooing in Australia. However there’s hasn’t been a lot of information, even on the Australian Government website. I know the law is eighteen but I want more information to put in my documentary. The lack of information is frustrating
