Summary Draft for Tattoo Public Safety Bill 2012

The United States is experiencing an increasing threat against it National Public Health, individuals performing tattooing without licensing are causing the rise of the public health risk through disease transmission from Tattooing applications. The tattooing demand has been increasing annually while the supply of ready available cash for most households has significantly declining every since the US economic crises. A significantly number of US consumers are now receiving tattoo applications from unlicensed individuals performing unsanitary Tattoo applications a much lower cost.

REGULATIONS: There is a lack of regulations in place for individuals choosing to provide tattooing services, presently they operate outside of the present codes, and laws, this gap is significantly diluting the bear of protection that has been afforded to the nations public through the enactment of regulations codes and for regulating the tattoo profession and business operations within our Nation.

UNLICENSED TATTOO ARTIST: there has been huge increasing in the threat against the Nation Public Health from tattoo procedures being preformed by Unlicensed Individuals acting as tattoo artist It is alarming that in every city and state in the United States of America. the actions of these individuals are putting the general public risk, by performing 1000's of life threatening tattoo applications daily across the US by unqualified individuals in unsanitary conditions.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE TRANMITSITION; Transmissible by direct or indirect contact; communicable: a contagious disease
can be transmitted from unsanitary tattoo procedures. Presently statistic shows that tattoo procedures are being sought out by 16 to 25 age groups which presently suffer a high degree of jobless rate and are most vulnerable to making life threatening choices, with tattooing applications being performed on lower income levels and younger consumer groups, the same groups whom are already at a greater health risk for disease transmitting and poor medical care it not surprising that we haven’t had an epidemic. Further more there is an increasing level of procedures being performed by untrained and unlicensed individuals at all social levels. This problem presently is the single largest threat to public health other then sex transmissible disease with the highest penitential to cause a nation wide spread of diseases in our nation.

There has been a significant rise in tattoo removal from blotched tattooing from UNLICENSED INDIVIDUALS ACTING AS tattoo artist as well as a rise in infections caused from the use of non professional standard and products.

REGULATION: Presently most states regulate Licensed Tattoo Artist and a Tattoo Business Operations. They are regulated by and through Federal OSHA, State and City government agency's and municipalities using laws, codes and regulations to govern and regulate them, these laws and codes were adopted in order to provide the highest standard of protection for the public's over-all safety while receiving a tattoo procedure.

NO LAWS, CODES, AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING UNLICENSED INDIVIDUALS PERFORMING TATTOOS IN MOST STATES: Any individual choosing to apply tattoos on the public can do so with impunity, if an individual is arrested it is only after a complaint of tattooing Minors has been lodged with the police department, therein the only law in most states that make application of tattooing illegal is on minors.

PROFESSIONAL OCCUPATIONAL CRIME LAWS: are laws, codes and regulations that make it a crime to do Dentistry, Acupuncture, or any other evasive procedural applications that would normally requiring a trained licensed practitioner on any humans in all United States.

These laws are in place to protect the individual Public from the bad judgment of allowing unlicensed individuals to do any procedure that requires a high degree of skill and training as well as be a high risk to the Publics Health.

EVASIVE MEDICAL TYPE OF PROCEDURE: Tattooing is regulated as an professional occupation because the application of tattooing qualifies as a evasive medical procedure requiring a high degree of skill and training that must be done in a Sanitary Environment under Federal OSHA guild line using sterilized equipment as well as approved equipment and products in a Licensed facility.

LEGISLATIVE BILLS: There must be Bills drafted and submitted before Congress and the State governments for enactment and the passing laws, codes and regulations at the State and the Federally Government level that empowers all concerned city and state agencies and municipalities, Courts, Police, Health department, OSHA to take legal actions and sanctions against individuals operating or soliciting the act of tattooing as a unlicensed individual tattooing or as a unlicensed tattoo studio or parlor provide tattoo services. Furthermore even stricter legal sanctions against Impersonating a Licensed Tattoo Artist or Tattoo Studio Facility.

POWER OF THE STATE AND CITY: The State and City Agency's & Police Department must to be equipped with the power to seek out and arrest and charge any individual operating or soliciting services as a tattoo business and a tattoo artist with out a license with a crime for committing actions against the public health interest and posing a significant threat to the public health. Further more the state courts must be so empowered to levy fines and jail incarceration for crimes against the city community regulations and health laws.

2nd.offense; gross misdemeanor with up to $1,000 and/or a two year's in jail.

Any offense committed by an unlicensed tattoo artist that is against a minor under the age of 13 is Felony with up to $25,000 and/or a to 5 to live in prison.

EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES REGULATIONS: The Federal Governmental need to in act regulations to Require Tattooing Suppliers to sell related Tattoo equipment and products only to Licensed Professional Tattoo Artist and Facilities, additionally the sale and import of ink and other such products and equipment requiring training used to be used or sold in the United states needs to be regulated.

============================================
This is only the developmental stage pages were everyone could come together as professionals and formulate an introductory finished summary outline that can be presented to their state legislator.

Each state will need a legislator who is willing to sponsor it, and then the next step is to frame the idea in suitable legislative form and language for introduction of a bill.
The drafting of statutes is an art that requires great skill, knowledge, and experience,
most bills are drafted by the Legislative Council Service.

Remember that each state has different needs for introducing the Bill, the joint resolution, the resolution, the joint memorial and the memorial.

I am seeking Liaison for each state who would work to find out what their state needs are and seek a Legislator sponsor or Lobbyist for the Bill.

What MSG Are We Sending?

I get it, your angry so am I but it reminds me of the old adage about the definitions of insanity: Is when “You Keep Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again Expecting Different Results’. A tattoo shop a day is opening in the US, everybody and their cozen is tattooing at home, yet I have not heard of one tattoo shop burning down since the 80’s, not one tattoo artist going to jail for assaulting or committing mayhem against a underground tattooing individual, not one news paper publication or news media telling us stories of mayhem.


"CBS News at Five: “A local Hollywood LA man has been hospitalized after brutal attack by local LA CA Tattoo shop owner”, and then later “Hollywood Tattoo Shop owner receives Life Imprisonment with chance of parole after 20 yr’s.” That’s why no one is going to cut anybody’s thumbs off or much less take a hammer to their thumbs; it’s a crime people punishable by up to life in prison in most states.

"2010 California Code Penal Code
Chapter 2. Mayhem
PENAL CODE SECTION 203-206.1 203. Every person who unlawfully and maliciously deprives a human being of a member of his body, or disables, disfigures, or renders it useless, or cuts or disables the tongue, or puts out an eye, or slits the nose, ear, or lip, is guilty of mayhem.
204. Mayhem is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or eight years.
205. A person is guilty of aggravated mayhem when he or she unlawfully, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the physical or psychological well-being of another person,intentionally causes permanent disability or disfigurement of another human being or deprives a human being of a limb, organ, or member of his or her body. For purposes of this section, it is not necessary to prove an intent to kill. Aggravated mayhem is a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole.
206. Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion,or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture. The crime of torture does not require any proof that the victim suffered pain.
206.1. Torture is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison.
Mayhem is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or eight years.
Unlawfully, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the physical or psychological well-being of another person,intentionally causes permanent disability or disfigurement of another human being or deprives a human being of a limb, organ, or member of his or her body. For purposes of this section, it is not necessary to prove an intent to kill. Aggravated mayhem is a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole.
206. Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture. The crime of torture does not require any proof that the victim suffered any pain.
206.1. Torture is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of life. Any Volunteers: lets see how many people will stand up behind the persons or persons PUBLICLY in support of any professional tattoo artist on trial for cutting off or the smashing of another mans thumbs in order to stop him from tattooing without a license in their city.

Heck I can’t even get 100 men or women professional tattoo artist to take a stand legally and actually do something towards changing the law that protects these illegal individuals tattooing in there city, these regulations that make it so anyone with money can open a tattoo shop and not be qualified to run one, or the bastards that sell them equipment.

Lets get real here; I come from a long line of BMF and I earned mine just like many old school did, but I’m not a street thug anymore and even if I was facing life prison sentences would require a lot more motivation. Today I am so much more, besides being a father, a grandfather, and being 55yr’s old, I am actually a citizen and believe there are legal alternatives to our problems. Like many old timers a prison sentence would be the end of life, not to mention the end of my business, my family welfare. Who would be served by these actions, would it stop people from tattooing in their homes, would my community be served, the tattoo industry?


The next day after that Live at 5 volunteer was on his way to a life of tattooing in prison the Scratchers would get up and go right back to tattooing, like killing a cockroach, kill one and a hundred show up for dinner. Do you think the main stream consumer: neighborhood mother of 3, the teachers wife, the business owner, or the father of his young adult children wants any man who could actually cut someone thumbs off to tattoo their family?

Going backwards is not going to fix the problems we have today, taking a stand on the right side of the problem is, once again Ill say it Support: Tattooing Safety Bill 2012 we really got to be more then smoke and mirrors, illusions are not our solutions.
