Tax returns are already making their way onto Orange splurge cards across the country, that’s according to Australia’s tattoo sector.

The ATO will typically send out a cheque two weeks after lodgement, but an increase in poorly-thought-out body art in the newsfeed says this can also be processed within a few days.
