(A) A person seeking approval to operate a business that offers tattooing or body piercing services shall apply to the city on forms the city or the Board of Health shall prescribe and provide. The applicant shall submit all information the city and the Board of Health determines is necessary to process the application. The applicant shall include the fee established under the city's Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges authorized by § 30.11 as it may be amended from time to time, or as established by the Board of Health.
(B) To receive approval to offer tattooing or body piercing services, a business must demonstrate to the Board of Health the ability to meet the requirements established by this chapter and any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations for safe performance of the tattooing or body piercing procedures, training of the individuals who perform the procedures, and maintenance of records.
(C) If the Board of Health determines, following an inspection conducted under § 114.04, that a business meets the requirements for approval, it shall so advise the city. The City Council may either approve or deny the license, or it may delay action for a reasonable period of time as necessary to complete any investigation of the application or the applicant it deems necessary. If the City Council shall approve the license, the City Clerk shall issue the license to the applicant. If the City Council denies the license, notice of the denial shall be given to the applicant along with notice of the applicant's right to appeal the City Council's decision. Approval remains valid for one year unless earlier suspended or revoked under § 114.05. A business's approval may be renewed. Approval is not transferable.
