Yea the two court cases ive seen against body mod artists in australia are both due to neglect, Brendan was Howie’s apprentice apparently, Brendan did a botched silicone implant, and when the girl came back and said she was in pain he told her not to go to the doctors (most likely due to fear he fucked up)
Really if they just put laws in place that allowed businesses to be trained and certified in slightly more “intensive” procedures, and held them to the same standard as medical facilities (They already do to be honest) then these things wouldn’t happen.
