| Temporary Rule for Temporary Tattoo License - May 3, 2012 |
|
The temporary amendment removes the requirement that applicants for a temporary tattoo license provide evidence of a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) certificate. Tattooists from outside of Oregon come to the state to work for short periods at tattoo conventions and professional events. Some tattooists are not able to obtain a copy of a diploma or GED certificate in time to participate in the convention or event. The safety of the public is not impacted by this modification because the requirements for experience in tattooing and blood-borne pathogen training is maintained.
