(5) History of epilepsy, seizures, fainting, or narcolepsy;
(6) Any current communicable diseases; and

(B) The body art practitioner shall ask the client to sign an informed consent form confirming that the above information was requested. The client shall be asked to disclose any other information that would aid the practitioner in the client’s body art healing process evaluation.
