Environmental Health and Public Protection Officers found a 'number of unhygienic practices'.
An unlicensed tattoo artist in Lancashire has been ordered to pay almost £2,000 in fines and costs due to “unhygienic and unsafe practices”. Steven Howarth, 34, was convicted at Burnley Magistrates’ Court and was fined £1,000, with an additional £400 victim surcharge and £510 in costs. Howarth, of Burnley Road, Crawshawbooth, was advertising his services under the name Inkflicted.
A spokesman for Rossendale Borough Council's Public Protection Unit said: “More people now opt to get tattoos and going to unregistered places could lead to the risk of serious infections. “Unregistered tattooists may operate in unhygienic conditions with poor quality equipment. If equipment isn't sterilised properly or strict hygiene requirements haven't been adhered to, there could be an increased risk to health and a tattoo could result in scarring and/or infection.
