He told me that he denies 50% of the people walking through his doors.

As Paul puts it? Once you put a tattoo on his arms or hands? You are handicap for life!!!

Many employers will not hire you because you have a tattoo.

For the life of me? I cannot understand why a woman would want a tattoo on her whole arm? Don’t they understand they will indeed get old one day?

Paul agreed with me 100%!!!

Here’s his concerns -

Tattoo & Body Piercing Regulations

Why isn't there any regulations and do we need them?

The answer is - YES!!!!!!!!!!

The tattoo & body piercing ind is becoming very popular and there’s no regulations.

The only regulation that I've found in my search is that you must have the equipment to sterilize your tools needles and other instruments that are needed for the procedure.

The law is there but no one ever comes around to see if the law is being practice?

Laws are good but if no one enforces them then what’s the sense of making them?

It's simple there should be courses that should be taught and made available for the people who are performing the procedure on the public EX:(Blood Borne Pathogens, First Aid , Cross Contamination)

These areas are a big thing in order for people to perform their job properly insuring the safety of the public and our families.

There should be laws that stop the illegal and dirty practice that are being preform in peoples homes.

They’re taking money for something they have done without a business license and without the care of health issues.

There have been cases where this underground practice was banned in cities because of the lack of care from both parties meaning the people in the industry and the health dept.

Let's stop it before it gets worse. there are regulations in place in different cities in the U.S. that are very good.


statement?


There are companies such as health educators that are designed to teach us.

They cost money but if your serious about what you’re doing then you'll pay for your education.





Thanks for your time and lets try to do something about this big growing problem.

Our youths are in grave danger!!!

Yes there are a lot of people who have those machines and a lot of times they don't know what they are doing. Amateurs will often work for free, until they get some experience and those amateurs often put tattoes on people that don't even look right and are all messed up. Once you have a tattoe on your self its hard to remove it.

I completely agree that the province should keep a tighter grip on tattooing and peircing. Also,(adding to what anonymous1 has said...)I'd like to point out that it would be naive for anyone to think that "zapping" a tattoo will leave you looking better than you did before, even if your tattoo was pretty bad to begin with. Taking a laser to your tattoo often leaves lots of ugly scaring, no matter how well it is done. In other words, DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE GETTING TATTOOED AND THINK IT OUT! :)
