Re: Stopping sales of equipment
i dont usually check this section so sorry for being late to the party...
i fully support and endorse this law, in NY and everywhere...in fact i may just have to write my state senator. if a state or government body is going to require and charge me money to be licensed to legally practice my own profession then i want them to do everything in their power to justify to me that time, money and effort required to play by the rules.
to you screaming about how this will lead to a BBP epidemic...it won't take long for reasonably intelligent people to figure out the connection between hep C and unlicensed tattooing, intelligent people already do.
if you can't be bothered to follow the law and get licensed (which in some places is ridiculously easy) you deserve to be starved out of your supplies and then your customer base. you deserve to be persecuted and prosecuted.
can't get an apprenticeship where you live? no reputable shops in your area? licensing regulations to harsh or expensive? move somewhere else. if you don't have the stomach to or are unwilling to play by the rules everybody else does then eat a bag of d**ks and shut the f@#k up when the consequences for what you're doing come down on you.
