Everyone entitled to their views in our United Kingdom . I take on board what has been said. No pun intented but historically in this country tatoos' were for people with a nautical persuasion.

My original suggestion was that the so called parlours should be licensed and only permitted to carry out proceedure if the people have taken out insurance to cover cost of removal if required.

I accept I might be in a minority who would not wished to be served by people with visible tatoos' , but surely that is also our entitlement and many I speak to agree with me.

Surely people can buy stick on tatoos' which do not leave a stain on the body.
