Old news, but food for thought!

Who knew Victoria BC has a bylaw requiring minors to receive parental consent before getting a tattoo? Bylaw no. 3304 also has a detailed set of guidelines attached to it, therefore making them enforceable! Something to think about for other municipalities?

Different Canadian provinces and US states were analysed including regulatory bodies, training and enforcement, highlights and gaps/potential hazards.  Check it out here.
