Stateline 706\'Oklahoma Ink\'February, 2006.OETA story before the Oklahoma Tattoo Bill was passed from 2006. This is my copy of it. It is in 3 parts due to uploading specifications. My friend was featured on here, and there are also some ignorant people as well.\n\nHere\'s the description from OETA\'s site:\n\'Oklahoma is the only state in the union which outlaws tattooing. So why do we see more and more tattoo parlors and even broadcast commercials touting tattooing? Why does law enforcement apparently not enforce the law?\n\nThe February edition of the OETA award-winning documentary series Stateline will shed light on the needling questions, even as state officials design and ink legislation seeking regulation of the industry.\n\nThe first ever Oklahoma tattoo convention was held in 2005, partly in an attempt to organize artists and shore up support to kill the crime and punishment statute in Oklahoma law. The gathering also displayed the diversity of the people and the pictures involved in the practice.\n\nWith continuing developments in laser technology, the argument from tattoo artists in Oklahoma often is that body inking can be removed, and therefore not subject to the tattoo taboo set forth in state statute. It apparently alsotakes the risk out of having your current significant other\'s name tattooed on you. After all, you can have that removed following a break-up, and the replacement significant other\'s initials inked in, well, replacement.\n\nStateline also addresses the concerns of some public safety officials in thestate who believe legalized tattooing provides an open door for certain gang or even mafia elements to expand their questionable business to Oklahoma.\n\nIt might surprise Stateline viewers of the variety of issues inherent with the advent of body art. How young is too young? Is this a First Amendmentissue? Who pays for health inspectors? Is one Oklahoman\'s art another Oklahoman\'s pornography?\'\n\nSo anyway, here it is..Part 2 of 3.\n\n\n\nTO SEE THE WHOLE THING:\nPART 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=f5bV5x9BML4\nPART 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xLsY-aJpgbw\nPART 3: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gcerUMTiz3o 706, analysis, bill, commentary, documentary, illegal, ink, law, legal, news, oklahoma, pass, Stateline, tattooing
