Ban tattoo schools in the uk
We urge the government to ban tattoo schools, enforce stricter standards, and require proper apprenticeships. Licensing must demand supervised training to protect public safety, stop unqualified artists, and preserve tattooing as a safe, skilled profession.

Background
Tattoo schools put the public at risk. Week long courses churn out untrained artists, leading to unsafe practices, infections, and a collapsing industry. Veterans are leaving due to an overcrowded industry, studios are empty, and standards are gone. Ban these schools and bring back proper apprenticeships to protect both the craft and public safety.
