common sense?

Okay so this bill that has been passed to require higher licensing fees for tattoo parlors doesn't end there by no means. The bill that may seem as an inconvenience for some is a way to weed out others according to Andrew, the owner and tattoo artist of Lost Tiger Tattoos in Lansing. This bill high lights some other laws they want these tattoo parlors to abide by as well. Probably the most annoying would be announced check ups from the Health Department to look over everything from your customer records to how you have trash lids placed over every garbage bin. as well as submit to random inspections and train their employees is really what one would call the Health Department as really stepping their game up! Among other laws is the restriction that no artist under the influence of any kinda can perform tattoos or needle work while intoxicated...that would be major bad news. You ask for an I love mom tattoo with a heart and an arrow and instead you get a broken heart with the tattoo artists ex-girlfriend's name in the middle. More commonly though is the person wanting the tattoo being drunk at the time of the artwork being done. From a crazy spring break you want to remember or the next morning you wake up and see a woman's face on your arm and your married, they all happen though Michigan law forbids it.
