The prosecutor of Shaoxing City Procuratorate in Zhejiang Province visited the tattoo shop. Our correspondent Shao Zhijia took a photo.
"The day before yesterday, a customer added me to WeChat and said that he wanted to get a tattoo in the store. I saw that his circle of friends found that he was a minor, and he clearly told him that he could not get a tattoo because minors were not allowed to get tattoos." Recently, the owner of a tattoo shop in Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province showed his WeChat chat record with customers to the staff of Shuyang County Market Supervision Administration who came to check.
In front of a tattoo shop that hasn’t opened yet, the staff stopped and contacted the owner anonymously through the contact information on the glass door. "Do you want a tattoo?" Are you a minor? Add me to WeChat, I need to check … …”
At 10: 50, the shop opened, and the owner pointed to the slogan "No Minors allowed" posted on the glass door, indicating that tattoos of minors were not accepted in the shop. When the customer was not sure whether he was a minor, he would ask the other party to show his ID card or check the other party’s electronic identity.
"I know what you said about the" Measures for the Management of Minors’ Tattoos ".We don’t give tattoos to minors." The staff went into a shop that had just registered for tattoo service in June this year, and saw that its business license stated "tattoo service (except for minors)". The owner said that no minors came to tattoo.
The staff of the Market Supervision Administration told the reporter that at present, there are 51 businesses in the county that can provide tattoo services, all of which have posted the sign of "No Entry for Minors" and will also issue risk warning letters to customers who come to tattoo.
The reporter interviewed the staff of Shuyang County Health and Wellness Bureau and learned that in the special inspection carried out this year, the phenomenon that merchants illegally cleaned tattoos for minors was not found again.
"Recently, the number of minors involved in the case that we came into contact with in conducting social investigations and helping and educating activities has decreased significantly, and even if there is one, it is the previous article." The teacher of the local "Golden Flower" Minors Judicial Social Service Center said.
Shuyang is the first civil public interest litigation case of minor tattoo in China. With the unremitting efforts of the local procuratorate, the local people’s congress issued a resolution prohibiting tattoo for minors.
In June this year, the Office of the Leading Group for the Protection of Minors in the State Council issued the Measures for the Management of Minors’ Tattoos (hereinafter referred to as the Measures), clarifying that no enterprise, organization or individual may provide tattoo services to minors. On the second day after the "Measures" were issued, the Xinghualing District Court of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province sentenced a civil public interest litigation case for the protection of minors, which was the first civil public interest litigation case for minor tattoos in Shanxi Province.
In the same month, the Procuratorate of Fengfeng Mining Area in Handan City, Hebei Province visited and investigated more than 20 tattoo shops within its jurisdiction. During the investigation, the prosecutor found that most tattoo shops refused to provide tattoo services for minors, but some shops not only refused, but also advertised "half price for students" and "20% discount for students" to recommend complex tattoo projects to minors, and promised to clean them painlessly without leaving scars.
On June 28th, Fengfeng Mining Area Procuratorate launched an investigation. At the same time, it consulted with Market Supervision Administration and Sub-district Office on the rectification measures to strengthen the supervision of tattoo industry and put an end to tattoos for minors, and urged them to perform their duties.
In Luquan District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, the procuratorate also conducted a visit investigation with the public security organs.
"The law does not stipulate the age of tattoos, but tattoos of minors need to be considered clearly so as not to affect their studies and work. Our shop only discourages, please think twice before you do. " This tip was posted on the inner wall of a tattoo shop in Luquan District. Investigators asked the owner if he knew the Measures. "This was posted a long time ago. Some people don’t know their age, so they don’t cooperate with their ID cards. I don’t know if we can’t give tattoos to minors." Investigators found that there was a minor in the store’s register. In this regard, the owner explained that the customer only registered and did not actually get a tattoo.
Faced with such a situation, the prosecutor of Luquan District Procuratorate explained the specific contents of the Measures to the shopkeeper and distributed brochures to him. The shopkeeper posted the slogan "No tattoos for minors" on the spot. On August 24, the hospital sent a letter to the Market Supervision Administration, suggesting that it regulate the operation of tattoo industry according to law.
"Our investigation found that there are still some tattoo shops that don’t ask customers’ ages, or just ask verbally and don’t verify the registration. For minors who arrive at the store, they ‘ Turn a blind eye ’ 。” When interviewed by reporters, Han Yilu, assistant procurator of Haibowan District Procuratorate in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was quite helpless. She said that the publicity and implementation of the Measures need to be further strengthened, and the supervision and governance of the tattoo industry should also be deepened. "On the one hand, we stepped up the popularization of law and asked tattoo shops to post ‘ It is forbidden for minors to get tattoos ’ On the other hand, the logo is also strengthening communication and cooperation with the Market Supervision Administration, the Health and Health Commission, the Education Bureau and other departments, strengthening source prevention and control, promoting social coordination, and promoting the establishment and improvement of long-term mechanisms. " Han Yizhen added.
It is the common responsibility of the whole society to prohibit tattoo of minors. The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress proposed to improve the social governance system, improve the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing, and enhance the efficiency of social governance. Smooth and standardize the channels for the expression of people’s demands, the coordination of interests and the protection of rights and interests, and build a social governance community that everyone is responsible, everyone is responsible, and everyone enjoys it.
In the interview, the reporter found that the good situation of everyone doing their duty to promote the tattoo management of minors is gradually taking shape.
"Boss, how much is the tattoo?"
"Please report your ID number, and now you are required to register."
"Boss, you here how so trouble. My ID number is … …”
"Hey, you are not an adult, you can’t do it."
"My classmate used to do it here. Why can’t he do it now?"
"I used to do it for children because I didn’t understand it, but now I can’t. You don’t want tattoos at a young age, wait until you are an adult and think about it. "
Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province takes the lead in developing tattoo management for minors.
15-year-old Jamlom (not his real name) wants to give himself a birthday present — — Tattoos When he came to the tattoo shop, he was told by the owner that minors could not get tattoos.
"Some children are developing fast, and they can’t see their age only from their height and appearance. We will ask for registration now. For customers who consult online, they will also ask for the ID number to determine whether they are minors. " According to the owner, this year, the awareness of the tattoo shop in Shengzhou City to check customer identity information has been strengthened. "In the past, if you insisted on registering personal information such as customer ID numbers, people would be ignorant. Now this is the case in every store, and customers can accept it."
"The business behavior of tattoo shops has been further standardized, effectively cutting off the channels for minors in the jurisdiction to contact tattoos." Prosecutor of Shengzhou City Procuratorate introduced.
