Those in the tattoo industry say they've seen a rise in the use of kits bought online, which have no guarantee of 'quality control or sterilisation'.Phil Pagdin runs a laser tattoo removal business and has seen his fair share of unusual tattoos.
Stu said there were no guarantees of "quality control or sterilisation" from some of the kits being sold online.A quick online search revealed a variety of home tattoo kits available from online retailers for under $100. Phil said he had seen a range of issues with so-called "backyard" tattoos, from "nasty scarring" to poor before and after tattoo care.
"If the laser is not attracted to the ink, and it won't remove, unfortunately you have to deal with that until you're old enough to get that tattoo done," he said.
