What an asinine proposal. I can see regulations making sure the tat shop uses clean needles, etc. But a waiting period?
Contrary to whatever the spokes-tool for the D.C. Health Dept. is assuming, not everyone who gets inked is under the influence when they do so. I’d venture most aren’t, in fact. And if they are, well, double-dumbarse on them if they don’t like it the next day. Adults are responsible for their own actions, even after they’ve had a few.
Argh, I hate nanny staters!

The owner of a lime company told me that (at least here) you can’t get a tattoo when inebriated. It’s against the law. (She said, “You know these things when you drive limos for a living.”)
