24-hour waiting period proposed for D.C. tattoos, piercings

[proudlao]

What do you think about this one?

Some popular impulse purchases — tattoos and body piercings — could soon become less impulsive if District health regulators have their way.

A mandatory 24-hour waiting period is among the provisions included in a 66-page package of draft regulations governing the “body art” industry released by the city Health Department on Friday.

If the waiting period is adopted, D.C. will become one of a very few places in the nation where a person cannot walk into a tattoo parlor and walk out with a tattoo.

24 hours is not a bad idea. I waited 39 years before I did my tattoos.
