Tattoo Parlours Act 2013 is an anti-gang, anti-crime act of the Parliament of Queensland to establish a regulatory framework, including occupational licensing, for the tattoo industry in Queensland, Australia.[1] The associated Acts enacted on the same date were the Criminal Law (Criminal Organisations Disruption) Amendment Act 2013 and the Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act 2013.[2] The Acts were passed on 16 October 2013, and as of 17 October 2013, the Attorney-General of Queensland had indicated that they had received Royal Assent; Part 9 of Tattoo Parlours Act 2013, which amends the Liquor Act 1992, came into force at that time.[3][4][better source needed][better source needed] The rest of this Act was to commence "on a day fixed by proclamation."[4][needs update] The relevant Minister is required to review the Act after 3 years.[5][citation needed]
Stipulations[edit]
The Act places restrictions on who can hold a permit, including a requirement that the holder must be an Australian citizen over the age of 18, and must not be a "controlled person" as defined by the Criminal Organisation Act 2009.[citation needed][original research?] It requires permit applicants to provide fingerprints and palm prints.[6][non-primary source needed][original research?][7]
The Act amends the Liquor Act 1992,[4][better source needed] in particular, to prohibit patrons from wearing or displaying material associated with criminal motor cycle gangs, such as club jackets, while in liquor licensed premises.[citation needed][original research?] It also amends the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 to expand the use of detection dogs in tattoo parlours from drug detection to include explosives detection.[citation needed]
