Harm of tattoos

① High risk of infection: tattooing is the way to Pierce the dye into the skin, reaching the dermis layer, which is a kind of damage to the skin tissue. If the tattooing institution is not formal and the tool is not sterilized, it may also cause a series of skin problems.

② It is difficult to restore: the pigment of the tattoo usually acts on the dermis, so it is not an easy thing to remove the tattoo. Even surgery to remove it is expensive, painful and scarring.

③ Great career impact: When minors with tattoos become adults, their career development may be affected. For example, when they join the army or join the police, they will be rejected because of tattoos.

In order to comprehensively strengthen the tattooing governance of juveniles and better protect the legitimate rights and interests of juveniles, the state has promulgated the Measures for the governance of minor tattoos to provide legal protection for the work of the tattooing governance of juveniles.

Family protection: guardians shall not indulge minors;

School protection: strengthen education to improve the awareness and ability of protection of minors;

Network protection: do not publish online information that induces minors to tattoo;

Government protection: perform their own duties, strengthen supervision and inspection, and increase the intensity of investigation and punishment;

Judicial protection: judicial organs cooperate with various departments to form a protective force.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate also pointed out that "the tattooing of minors is not a private matter, nor a family matter, but a major matter related to the physical and mental health of minors, and must be 'managed'." Any enterprise, organization and individual be found to provide tattoos to minors which anyone can report to the civil affairs, commerce, health, market supervision and other departments, and the relevant departments receiving the report should accept and deal with it in a timely manner.

Doing the tattoo to minors is not a simple business, which has touched the red line of the law. The majority of adolescents should enhance self-protection awareness, refuse tattoos, not because of the youthful indiscretion, let youth sting!
