What are the laws with tattooing and hepatitis?

Deoends on the state: You need to look at the health department rules for your state. The artist should follow the state guidelines and display his/her licenses. The artist should discuss freely infection control measures. This site may help: http://www.Safe-tattoos.Com/basic%20guidelines%20for%20getting%20a%20tattoo.Html.

Tattoos and disease: I am not sure what you are asking here. Laws or statutes regulating tattooing differ by state. Whoever does your tattoo should use scrupulous cleaning technique to prevent spread of blood-borne diseases from person to person. If a shop is messy, it is a pretty good indication of cleaning techniques. Common sense will keep you safe.
