A campaign aimed at ridding the tattoo industry of unhygienic or bad practice has been introduced by North Devon Council.
The campaign, termed ThINK it through before you tattoo aims to provide residents with information about the required hygiene standards and risks of bad practice so that they can make a safer choice when deciding where to get a tattoo.
As part of the campaign, the council has launched a form for reporting bad practice in the industry and updated its list of registered tattooists in the district.
The campaign has been welcomed by the district s tattooists, who are keen to flush out scratchers ; people that are not registered to tattoo and may be doing so from unregistered premises, including their home.
