Action:
General Review 2017 | Tattoo and Body-Piercing
Action 4846
General Information
| Action Summary |
Changes in the body art industry, and the time elapsed since the last regulatory changes, warrant a general review of the tattooing and body-piercing regulations. The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology seeks to amend its current regulations to ensure they are as least intrusive and burdensome as possible, while still protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The regulations will be reviewed to make sure that they accurately reflect current professional and industry standards and are consistent, clearly written, and easily understandable.
The Board will also consider amending current regulations to allow the tattoo and body-piercing apprenticeships to be administered by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry. The Board may make other changes it identifies as necessary during the regulatory review process.
