Rites of Passage is a combined tattoo, music and arts event coming to the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens
One of the tattoo artists at Rites of Passage is Mick Squires (that's his work pictured), and we'll be interviewing Mick just before the event to find out how he got into tattoos, what he's into in terms of art and his fascination with the human skull.

Tightening of tattoo, piercing laws mooted
Original Source - Whyalla News
New state government laws propose to make tattooing and some piercings illegal for those under the age of 18.
And, tattooists who breach the new law could face a maximum penalty of $5000 or 12 months’ jail.
The state government is seeking comment on the draft Summary Offences (Tattooing, Body Piercing and Body Modification) Amendment Bill 2011.
The reforms include prohibiting minors from having branding, tongue, nipple, neck or other serious invasive piercing; and requiring parental or guardian consent for eyebrow, nose or naval piercing.
There’ll also be a ban on tattooing, piercing or otherwise modifying the body of intoxicated people and a greater onus on the operators to obtain and retain evidence of consent.
