"Whether prison systems allow tattoos or not, people are still going to get them. And getting illicit tattoos will always be less safe than through approved and regulated programs. We can provide people with job training while keeping everyone safer."

Let’s Make It Easier to Get Tattoos in Prison
Only three states offer tattoo artist programs in prisons. If we expand access to prison tattoo programs, it would decrease the spread of diseases and increase job prospects after release.
