Tattoo Industry Regulation 2023

What’s this about?

The NSW Police Force is inviting interested organisations and individuals to provide a submission on any matter relevant to the Tattoo Industry Regulation 2023. 

They want to hear from:

• tattoo artists
• tattoo industry
• licence holders
• industry bodies
• anyone with an interest in the tattoo industry in NSW.

The proposed regulation will replace the Tattoo Parlours Regulation 2013 under the Tattoo Parlours Act 2012 and will commence on 1 September 2023.

The regulation aims to:

• maintain the benefits provided by the current regulatory regime
• reduce the regulatory requirements on industry participants
• provide greater clarity around administrative processes in effect
• prescribe the schedule of disqualifying offences as intended by the Tattoo Parlours Amendment (Statutory Review) Act 2022.

Your feedback will help us understand how the proposed regulation might affect the industry and community.
