Should Smoking Be Allowed Inside Tattoo Shops?

Sunday May 21, 2006
Should smoking be allowed in tattoo shops? Some say no, because it's not sterile. Some say yes, as long as it's kept in a designated area away from tattooing and piercing stations. Should people be expected to step outside to light up, or are smoking areas inside the shop acceptable?
