A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to tattoo licenses.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section I. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council of the City of New York finds that although it is currently illegal in the City of New York to apply tattoos, tattooists are nonetheless currently operating in the City without any standards or regulation. Without effective health regulation of tattooing, diseases can be transmitted to customers and tattooists through supplies and equipment. In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for tattoo services, resulting in an increasing number of New Yorkers being placed at risk for disease. The Council therefore finds it appropriate for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of New York City to enact legislation to regulate tattooing and tattooists. Such regulation will ensure that tattooists practice basic health and safety procedures necessary to competently engage in the practice of tattooing. The licensing of tattooists will permit the Department of Health to enforce safety standards for tattooists and impose penalties, including license suspension and revocation, for violations of such standards.
