In this episode of Public Health Matters, host Laurie Fox takes us “Behind the Ink” to explore how public health plays a vital role in keeping tattoos and piercings safe for everyone. Joined by Allison Glascoe and Margaret Fischer from Greene County Public Health, we dive into the licensing process, health and safety standards, and the regulatory framework that governs body art establishments. From compliance and enforcement to the broader community impact, this conversation reveals the behind-the-scenes work that protects both artists and clients. Whether you're an artist, a shop owner, or just curious about the safety of body art, this episode has insights you won’t want to miss.
