Among its provisions the regulations, if adopted, establish sanitation and sterilization requirements for Body Art Establishments and minimum health standards to which Body Art Practitioners must comply. Eighteen (18) is proposed as the minimum age to receive a Tattoo, and Mobile Body Art Establishments would be prohibited. The regulations require Body Art Establishments and Practitioners to be permitted annually by Board of Health and also provide for twice yearly compliance inspections of Body Art Establishments and penalties for violating the regulations.
