Grade A in the News!

The number of tattoo businesses in the county has increased seven-fold since 1999, yet the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health still has only one person to inspect them, and it is but a small part of his duties.

Seven of the county's 21 shops have opened since Jan. 1, correlating with retail reports suggesting one opens every day, according to U.S. News & World Report. A 2003 Harris Poll found 15 percent of Americans, or about 40 million people, have at least one tattoo.

A review of five years of inspections in Allen County shows 86 violations in all, the most common being the most innocuous: failing to post how patients can file a complaint or how the business incorporates universal precautions to prevent spread of infections, for example. Still, more serious violations were found, such as the three instances in which equipment was used more than once.

Yet it is the unregulated part of the industry that scares county inspector Steve Schumm most. No schools to teach tattoo artistry exist, although “teach yourself” kits are available on the Web, and industry magazines offer basic directions.

“Don't ever go to a tattoo party in someone's house or garage or in the back of a bar,” said Schumm, assistant director of Food and Consumer Protection Division for the Fort Wayne-Allen County Health Department. “The No.1 problem is the illegal operators operating out of a home.”

The health department is required to make unannounced inspections of local businesses twice a year, or whenever a complaint is filed, or for follow-ups after violations are found. The county has never closed a tattoo/piercing business, held a hearing against or fined one. Schumm admits it is difficult to detect violations as they occur.
