Diploma of Cosmetic Tattooing

This qualification reflects the role of individuals who work as cosmetic tattooists who design and provide cosmetic tattooing services.

These individuals work autonomously and are accountable for personal outputs. Their work involves the self-directed application of specialised knowledge and experience to consult, design and manage sequential treatment programs. They possess highly developed communication and technical skills. Practitioners operate within a defined scope of practice and use initiative and judgement to refuse or refer treatments as required.

Work is typically conducted in beauty salons and skin clinics.

The skills in this qualification must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

Cosmetic Tattooing is subject to Skin Penetration regulation in some states and territories. The supply of topical anaesthetics is restricted in some states and territories.
