The art of tattoos is very easily policed within the industry, but the health side of it should be addressed a little better. Great perspective.

This of course in no way guarantees you are going to get a good tattoo - I've seen a lot of really bad work from these "professionals" ...and it also does not mean that the shop will keep up a clean environment once the state paperwork is done.

I run a licensed shop in PA. I must pay taxes. So many people tattooing from home not paying taxes on the money they earn from tattooing. Consider how your taxes increase every year. The Scratcher ??

Keeping a clean business also fine. Have a set of rules and regulations that ll must follow within reason and that is more reasonable. Regulation is fine. Keeping a clean business also fine.

I'm not saying the government needs to get overly-involved. I just take comfort in knowing that the tattoo parlor I'm going to follows a set of regulations and that I'm getting professional, sterile service. It's good to know that, though 18 pages long, New Jersey has clear standards that need to be met. It's not so much an issue of personal rights or choices, as it is a health issue. Though, one would assume that any right-minded tattoo artist would uphold these standards regardless, to retain a professional image and a steady clientele base. Just some thoughts :) There needs to be some sort of regulation to ensure customers that the establishment they are patronizing is a clean, sterile, and professional environment.
