Tattoos, body piercing and cosmetic surgery: mere personal adornment or non-fatal criminal offences?
Journal Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUFellows, Jamie
Abstract
This discussion poses the simple question: to what point do tattoos, body piercings, cosmetic surgery and other body adornments depart from mere body art and become non-fatal criminal offences, such as assaults, wounding, or grievous bodily harm? Central to this question is the issue of consent and whether one can indeed legally consent to such things when to do so would appear to be unacceptable levels of 'harm'. A second normative question is posed asking 'should' such practices be allowed?
