3 Dr. Heiger-Bernays then commented on the Part B of § 155-123 requirements for single-use items and where these single-use cups and their contents would be disposed of, upon completion of the tattoo. Ms. McCartin stated those are all non-biohazard and could be put in the trash. Dr. Tung clarified the § 155-129, would it be issuing one permit or two separate permits. Ms. McCartin stated they are two separate permits because some establishments have 2 or 3 practitioners and each practitioner has to have its own permit. Dr. Tung had questions with regard to permitting the practitioner. Ms. McCartin stated the applicants must show the proof of working in a previous body art establishment, or a previous permit issued by the Lexington Board of Health. The applicants need to show CPR, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens certificates, proof of passing Anatomy and Physiology classes, and proof of at least 2 years or 2400 hours experience. Dr. Tung stated she did not see anything specifically referring to possible allergic reactions to the dye or components of the pigment. She was not sure how often that kind of allergy occurs, but she would like to know that the practitioner would be able to recognize signs of a reaction that would require medical intervention. Ms. McCartin stated she will double-check. Ms. Belanger suggested allergy or allergens could be added on § 155-129 F. 2. d. Skin disease disorders and conditions (including diabetes). Dr. Perlmutter inquired about CPR training. Ms. McCartin stated they have to pass the basic CPR course. CPR certificate has already in the current regulation. Ms. McCartin stated item C “Applicants denied a permit may reapply at any time after denial” was taken out of § 155-130, Grounds for suspension, denial, revocation or refusal to renew permits. And the wording “and shall supersede all existing body art regulations promulgated by the Board of Health” was added after “These regulations shall be effective as of January 16, 2002” of § 155- 135. Effective date. The biggest change was putting in actual experience for the practitioners of § 155-129. It will make sure that practitioners have proof that they have completed 2400 hours (two years) of actual experience, when they apply for permits. The other added item of § 155-129 E was “Hepatitis B vaccination documentation or proof of immunity”, which was recommended in the model regulation and other communities. Ms. Belanger stated the final proposed regulations will be reviewed with changes highlighted in red, and the effective date will be discussed with final review in next meeting.
