Seems pretty in line with what the south wants; if its what the people want (if it goes to a public election) then it should pass otherwise it shouldn't just be legislated.Government Wants to Ban Certain Tattoos and Piercings, Bill Passes in Senate | Alternative
It's the Arkansas Senate, not the US Senate. Good job keeping the government out of our private lives!

Isnt that the same argument used for abortions?Banning supply will not significantly reduce demand, simply make the banned good/service go "off grid", move to a neighboring jurisdiction, yeild higher prices/profit and deprive the local gov't of any level of control or taxation now present. This was tried with for alcohol (and other recreational drugs), gambling and abortion with terrible results. Those that would ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
The fact that the bill never passed was ignored. Many bad ideas get proposed in bills, fortunatley most do not pass. Many in gov't now see the role of the state as to protect us from ourselves. Hopefully elections will have consequences and those that introduced or sponsored this moronic nanny statism idea will soon loose their jobs; if not, then AK deserves what its morons in their gov't attempt to do to them.
They shouldn't legislate it at all. Personal rights, like the right to your own body.
Taking the article at its word, this would be an idiotic bill to pass.

Pffffft, so what. It will just go back underground.
Done in kitchens with no sterilization. Versus in a permited shop with licensed artists.

Not enough information to make an informed reply. The site also indicates it was passed in the State Senate 26 -4 but then "stalled" somehow, requiring another vote. Perhaps the Arkansas State Legislature has two houses and the "lower" house is balking?
Also, the article has no information about the actual bill. Perhaps it bans this sort of thing for juveniles under a certain age, but not for adults? I can get behind a ban on minors getting tats and piercings.
Jumping to conlusions on so little information? Perhaps someone can locate more on the subject?
I'm not jumping to conclusions, I just wanted to throw it out there for comment. See who says what....
The bill refers only to scarring types of tattoos and sub-dermal implants, both of which are quite dangerous. Especially scarring. Every tattoo or piercing on the girl in the article's picture would be perfectly legitimate.
This bill most likely would not meet first amendment scrutiny, but its purpose seems to actually be about safety, not censorship.
