Tattoo parlors in Oklahoma will be allowed to open their doors in just over a month, and now the State Board of Health has adopted rules to help regulate them. The new restrictions go into effect November 1st, and health officials say the rules should lead to a statewide expansion of tattoo parlors and body-piercing shops.
The regulations were decided unanimously at Thursday's State Board of Health meeting.
The body artists will have to be licensed, which includes taking courses in bloodborne diseases and first aid. They will also have to pass a standardized competency test and will have to pass at least two inspections per year by health department officials. Tattoos will be restricted to people eighteen-years or older.
