Lawmaker vote looms on South Carolina tattoo bill
Charleston lawmakers prepare to decide this week on a bill to legalize tattooing in South Carolina. The House is set to vote Tuesday after Senate approval, with critics calling proposed rules too restrictive. The measure would place regulation with DHEC, allow zoning controls, require parental consent for under 21, and ban neck tattoos. Medical experts say legalization under safeguards could reduce home tattoo infections. Opponents cite biblical objections and quotes Rep. Jake Knotts who argues against body markings.
