Make It Illegal To Tattoo Children In Pennsylvania


Make It Illegal To Tattoo Children In Pennsylvania
The Issue
Kevin Morrow recently tattooed a 12-year-old girl in his home. Under current law, what he did was legal. The child's mother, with shared legal custody, consented to this permanent tattoo without father's prior knowledge or consent. I am asking the legislature to amend the law and prohibit the tattooing of minors in Pennsylvania. Similar to California law, it should be a misdemeanor for any person to tattoo or offer to tattoo anyone under age 18. Tattoo artists should also be licensed and regulated by the Commonwealth. Artists should be required to follow sterilization, sanitation, and safety standards established by law. If you agree, and believe that people like Kevin Morrow should no longer be able to tattoo children in their home for profit, then please sign this petition.
