The Department of Justice is preparing to review the Tattoo Parlours Act 2012, as required by section 42 of the Act, following five years of operation.
The purpose of the review is to determine whether the policy objectives of the Act remain valid and whether the terms of the Act remain appropriate for securing those objectives.
The policy objectives of the Act were to:
- remove organised criminal gangs from the tattoo parlour industry and in so doing enhance public safety in and around these premises
- ensure tattoo parlours cannot be used to launder the proceeds of crime
- appropriately and effectively regulate tattoo parlours, to ensure such premises are not used to conduct illicit activity.
