There's an interesting issue happening in a small town in upstate New York right now. The city of Oneida is considering changing one of the old laws that it's had on the books for way too long. That law is that tattooing is banned as a practice in the city. The law was put into place for sanitation reasons but no longer applies considering the changes that have been made to tattooing over the years. Despite that, the law has remained on the books and that's why you'll find no tattoo parlors in Oneida as of the current time. (Learn more here.)
That begs the question - at least for those of us that are interested in tattoo removal - as to whether or not there are limitations on tattoo removal in the city. Chances are that there aren't such regulations because tattoo removal wasn't an option back in the days when the tattoo ban was put into place. Furthermore, the laser tattoo removal technology differs greatly from the technology used to create tattoos. But you never know what kind of laws might be on the books.
Question of the Day: Do you think Oneida should change its laws and allow tattooing?
