To make it illegal for tattooist's an piercers to do either tattoo or pierce intimate areas unless there 18+

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It's already an offence to give someone who is under 18 a tattoo. We're therefore not sure what further action you'd like the Government and Parliament to take.

You can view the Tattooing of Minors Act 1969 here: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1969/24

It isn't illegal to give a piercing to an under 18 year old. You could start a new petition asking for the Government and Parliament to make it illegal, if that's what you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
