[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Port Chester 3-27-1991
as L.L. No. 3-1991. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It has been the experience of other municipalities, including the City
of New York, that tattooing has led to increased cases of serum hepatitis.
It has also been their experience that regulatory measures have proved ineffective
in eliminating this health risk because of the inability to supervise tattooing
establishments at all times. The Village of Port Chester also lacks the resources
and personnel to supervise tattooing establishments on an ongoing basis. Accordingly,
the Board of Trustees finds that in this village, as in other communities,
a ban on tattooing except for medical purposes is the only feasible means
of protecting the public against disease from this source.
It shall be unlawful for any person to tattoo a human being within the
Village of Port Chester, except that tattooing may be performed for medical
purposes by a person licensed or otherwise authorized pursuant to the Education
Law to practice medicine or osteopathy.
An offense against the provisions of this chapter shall be punishable
by a fine of not more than $250 or by imprisonment for not more than 15 days,
or both.
