A 10-Year-Old Got a Tattoo. His Mother Was Arrested. In New York State, you must be at least 18 to get a tattoo. Elsewhere, the rules are different-and perceptions are changing...

Non-therapeutic body modification interventions are permitted within the limits of the use of one’s own body that can be specified in the legal system. The authors take into consideration Italian regulation on tattooing and piercing, in particular in relation to adolescents. Results In Italy, several regions have therefore issued acts aimed at regulating the activities of tattoo and piercing also in reference to minors. Discussion. With regard to minors, the rules taken into account set precise limits in relation to the age criterion and subordinate the implementation of such practices to the provision of consent by legal representatives. Conclusion If such practices are of an aesthetic nature, we cannot avoid considering the implications they have on health protection, and then adopt appropriate measures to protect the person who intends to undergo them, particularly in the case of minors.

Tattooing: another adolescent risk behavior warranting health education1997 •
A cross-sectional, convenient sample of adolescents (N = 2101) from 8 states were queried regarding interest in tattooing. Permanent markings and blood-borne diseases were reasons respondents refrain from tattooing, yet 55% (n = 1159) expressed an interest in tattooing. Tattooed adolescents in the sample (10%, n = 213) responded with their experiences. Tattooing was frequently done around the 9th grade and as early as 8 years of age; over half (56%, n = 120) report academic grades of As and Bs. Potential health risks and definite psychosocial findings of purchase and possession risks were evident, building on data from a similar 1994 study by Armstrong and McConnell. Health providers and educators should initiate applicable health education and become community adolescent advocates regarding this risk-taking behavior. Findings indicate that adolescents who want a tattoo will obtain one, regardless of money, regulations, or risks. Adolescents view the tattoos as objects of self-identity and body art, whereas adults perceive the markings as deviant behavior. Informed decision-making could be promoted in health education by incorporating information about the possibility of blood-borne diseases, permanent markings, and themselves as growing and changing people.

TATTOOS -HISTORY AND ACTUALITY2014 •
Tattoos have been practiced for thousands of years and remains a common practice in various cultures and countries. Tattooing has gained popularity in Western society where about 10% of the population has at least one decorative tattoo. Lately the same phenomenon can be also observed in Romania. Metal salts or organic compounds are the pigments used in tattooing to achieve a different color. The introduction of various substances into the skin can cause side effects such as: acute inflammatory reactions, contact dermatitis, photoinduced reactions, lichenoid reactions, granulomatous reactions, pseudolimfomatous reactions, discoid lupus erythematosus, and bacterial infections (pyoderma, leprosy, tuberculosis) or viral (warts, moluscum contagiosum, hepatitic virus, HIV). In parallel with the emergence of new ways of tattooing, new ways of removing them have also developed. Currently, Q-switched laser is most commonly used to remove tattoos, however, without guarantee their complete removal.
Introduction: Modern tattoo removal began as a science approximately 20 years ago, and relatively few advances have been made since then. The aim of this study is twofold: first, to review the complications of tattoos and tattoo removal methods and second, to investigate both the epidemiology and legal issues of this phenomenon in Italy. Discussion: Complications of medical tattoos are changes in colour, leading to colour mismatch. The complications of decorative tattoos include infections and allergic and foreign body reactions. Tattoos are popular in Italy, especially among the younger generations. As these people age, the demand for tattoo removal will continue to grow. Q-switched (QS) lasers are widely considered the gold standard for tattoo removal. Although Q-switched lasers are capable of removing tattoos without harming the skin, removal often requires numerous treatments and it can still be incomplete , especially when attempting to remove multicoloured tattoos. Moreover, complications can occur, with an incidence of about 5%. Immediate complications include pain, blisters, crusting and pinpoint haemorrhage. Delayed complications include pigmentary changes, either hypopigmen-tation or hyperpigmentation. Developments leading to removable tattoo inks, feedback systems to detect the absorbance characteristics of tattoo inks, dermal clearing agents and, perhaps, even shorter pulse-duration lasers should result in improvements in tattoo removal in the near future. Conclusions: In Italy there is no specific prescriptive legislation for tattooing, and there is also a great diversity in terms of regional regulatory approaches. Future educational campaigns by school counsellors and primary care physicians should also be aimed at specific groups that are more likely to get tattoos, such as minors and women.

Tattooing, body piercing, and permanent cosmetics: a historical and current view of state regulations, with continuing concerns2005 •
The popularity of tattooing, body piercing, and permanent cosmetics demands up-to-date state legislation. The objective of this article is to present a historical perspective and nationwide review of current state regulations for body art. Methods comprised Internet and telephone inquiries to state agencies. It was found that while 36 states have changed their body art legislation since 1998, the overall strength of the regulations varies widely. The author concludes that it is unrealistic, given the amount of body art performed in the United States, to prohibit body art, emphasize only business licensing, or have limited state regulations while local municipalities establish separate policies. Concerns remain about standard precautions, adequate documentation of complications, and lack of uniform regulations. Quality protection will mean taking a more comprehensive approach to effective regulations and enforcement.

From the study of tattoos and piercings in adolescence, the following questions arise: What information do adolescents have before making a decision to get a tattoo or piercing? What do parents of teenagers know about the subject? Is there a difference between the generation of parents and children with respect to the information they have? This project aims to: assess how much adolescents aged 12 to 17 living in Ciudad de la Costa know about some aspects of tattoos and piercings, especially their risks. This way, the health of adolescents in our environment can be promoted, informing about those contents of the subject in which there is greater ignorance. A web page was designed with a link to access the voluntary surveys, using a Google form for the adolescent and parent populations. So far it has been found that the surveys carried out leave figures that show the great lack of knowledge that adolescents have on this subject. Likewise, favorable results are seen in the surveys carried out on parents residing in Ciudad de la Costa who have children in the age range between 12 and 17 years old but they still lack a lot of information.
Performing or receiving tattoos is forbidden in American prisons. What are the intentions behind this prohibition? Does the policy meet its intentions? Does it promote the broader ends of prison institutions: to protect justice, provide efficient correctional services, rehabilitate criminals, and deter crime? I argue that repealing the prohibition of inmate tattooing would achieve outcomes more in line with the intentions of prison management than does the current prohibition policy.

This initiative uses various GPS locations to locate stolen or lost phones. After installation, the program will run in the background. The unique user id and password, SIM number, backup phone number, email address, WhatsApp number, and present location of the phone are all stored in this application. When a phone is lost or stolen, the user receives images taken by the front camera, a GPS location on a different phone number, and an email address. With the help of this information, we can quickly identify the phone and the person who has stolen it using the intruder selfie feature in the app.
