If you have any other questions about getting a tattoo, piercing or other body modification, please contact us here.AT THE end of the school year my 15-year-old daughter and some of her friends decided to get tattoos. Tattoo parlours and piercing studios in NSW must also follow infection control measures set by the government in special guidelines. All tattoo parlours in NSW have to be registered and publicly display their licence, so it is a good idea to make sure the place is registered before getting anything done. This means that you should avoid home tattoo or piercing parlours, or DIY kits (even if your friend is the one doing it!). Also, you should make sure that the tattoo studio is safe and hygienic and that all tools are sterilised.

To prevent this, it’s a good idea to always go to a professional tattoo artist and piercer.
Having tattoos, piercings and body modifications at school or work It is a good idea to call the tattoo / piercing parlour you are thinking of going to and asking them what their policy is on giving tattoos or piercings to someone your age who has a parent’s consent. Others might ask you to show proof of your age, or even ask you to sign a statutory declaration (a legal document) outlining your age and that you understand the risks involved in the procedure. Tattoo and piercing policiesĮven if you do get permission from a parent, some tattooists and body piercers will not give you a tattoo or a piercing if you’re under 18. You cannot get a piercing in a private place (like your nipples or genitals) if you are under 16, even if you have your parent’s permission. Your parent’s note should explain the location of the piercing, and the type of piercing. If you’re under 16 and want a piercing, you’ll need your parent’s permission in writing or in person. You need to be 16 to get most piercings in New South Wales. It’s against the law for someone to tattoo you without your parent’s permission. If you get your parent’s permission in writing, the note should explain the type of tattoo you want to get, the size of the tattoo and where it’s going to be on your body. If you want to get a tattoo before you turn 18, your parent will need to be with you when you get the tattoo, or give their permission in writing. A tattoo includes anything that results in a permanent mark being made on your skin, including branding, scarification or beading. In New South Wales you generally need to be 18 to get a tattoo. Watch out for infections! Remember to protect yourself from diseases by going to a registered parlour with someone who is trained and hygienic.At school and work: your school or workplace may have specific rules or policies about tattoos, piercings and body marks, so it’s a good idea to check these first.Other body marks – branding, beading and scarring: if you’re under 18, you can do this if you have permission from your parents.Piercings: if you’re under 16, you can only get a piercing if you have permission from your parents with details about where the piercing will be BUT if you want a piercing in a private place (like your genitals or nipples), you have to wait till you’re 16 even if you have permission.
Your parent or guardian must give permission in writing or in person for you to get a tattoo and it has to explain the style of the tattoo and where on your body you will get it.
