Fall River Massachusetts tattooing regulations demand The tattooer to work in floor to ceiling divided rooms. This petition is in hope of an open floor plan tattoo studio where Artist will still be in there set divided work area, just with no dividing walls. I believe open floor is beneficial artistically for artists to be critiqueing each other and motivating each other(s) A point I would like to bring up also if a client passes out during a Tattoo which does happen, and the Artist gets up to get client help, water, wet paper towel, etc it would be helpful for other artist to have an eye on Customer and they are not alone

I have been reviewing the current regulations to prepare a formal proposal for the local health board. The safety benefits of an open floor plan in the event of a medical emergency remain the primary focus of my advocacy.

The response to this proposal demonstrates that many people recognize the importance of visibility and safety in our local studios. This momentum suggests that our community is ready to modernize these outdated regulations for the benefit of both artists and clients.

Finally someone said it. These outdated regulations are holding back the industry in Fall River. Tired of these silly restrictions.

Ridiculous rules. Most states let artists work in the same room. It helps with safety and learning from each other. Hope this changes soon.
