�Straitening the Facts

A reader, Kevin Koehler from Los Angeles, emailed me to relay that my previous post regarding tattooing contains a statement which is factually incorrect. Specifically, I offered that tattooing is an unregulated industry. With Kevin's input and further research (reference: Tattoodesign.com), I determined that most states do, in fact, have laws to regulate tattooing, body piercing, branding, and scarification. I thank Kevin for pointing out the error and apologize to everyone for my carelessness. I intend to continue researching the subject and plan to provide additional reports in the future.
