Tattooing is the process of puncturing the skin with a needle to introduce coloured pigment leaving a semi/permanent mark, including cosmetic enhancement.
Also called:
cosmetic tattooing
pigment implants
semi/permanent creations
permanent makeup or
dermal pigmentation.
All kinds of tattooing use the same methods and are subject to the same controls and procedures.
Tattoo removal
Tattoo removal using skin penetration involves the use of tiny needles to inject liquid into the skin causing the tattoo pigment to move to the skin’s surface. This is a skin penetration procedure and is licensable with us. If you are proposing a laser tattoo removal procedure you will need a laser licence issued by Queensland Health.
