Compensation for tattoo's

[GoldenMerc]

Hi,

Well i got told about a year ago on here (i think) if a tattoo'ist doesn't have a tattoo licence you can get compensation for having tattoo's done by them? Is this true if so can i have some links and information about it please?

Why would you get compensation for being stupid enough to let someone without a licence tattoo you?

[GoldenMerc]

Because he told me he was a professional and had a licence...

I don't know if you can get compensation, unless the tattoo went horribly wrong. But they will definately get in somesort of troublefor tattooing without a liscence, I assume a fine. Then again, if they're doing itfree ofcharge, then it wouldnt be against the law if they had your consent.

[GoldenMerc]

It wasn't free, it is badly done and he had no licence...

If money's changed hands then it's illegal, but dunno how you'd be able to prove it when obviously he won't be giving receipts if he's not a real business

[MizMe93]

Well if you're serious about getting compensation then go ahead and talk to a professional, theyll let you know your options. Seeing as it was done illegally I'm sure something will be done

He's got it on his 'business's photos saying 'Ross's tribal arm'
So i guess i can use that as proof?
