I'm starting to be completely bi-polar about this.
On one hand I want to raise the bar. I want to do everything I can to help elevate this industry to a professional level. The industry itself is bi=-polar. Half of us are professionals who do everything we can to educate ourselves and keep a high cleanliness and quality standard. The other half doesn't think that they need to stay educated or clean and pumps out poor quality work all day. There's a mash up of all of these traits across the board of course but I'm trying to make a point.
I'm talking to all sorts of people across this spectrum. Some are telling us to back off and stop everything. Some want to lobby to have everything put back to when we weren't regulated at all. (Not an option by the way.) And some say let's stand up and do everything we can to tighten it up and get the scratchers shut down. So I swing back and forth because I want the public to be safe and get beautiful tattoos but I also want to have a relaxing nights sleep where I don't stay up wondering why everyone is so angry with the work we're doing. We didn't make these laws or start them as you can see if you read the entry called "History of the Bill". We are just trying to make them livable and actually worth the money we have to spend on the licenses. If anyone can get a license then it doesn't mean anything. If you actually have to learn the craft and the facts about cross contamination then it means that we're educated professionals and I'm willing to pay for that. The new bill simply requires a standard apprenticeship from someone who has been tattooing for seven years or more. Not state sponsored schools. They have neither the money or the interest in building or paying for schools and none of us, that I know of, would support that anyway. I have always been apposed to tattoo schools and remain against them. So where is everyone on all this?
