Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1200-23-06-.10 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

(1) Posting of permit and License. Body piercing establishment permits and technician licenses shall be posted within the establishment in a conspicuous place where they may be readily observed by the public. This shall mean a place approved by the Commissioner at the time of inspection. No person, except an authorized representative of the Commissioner, shall modify, remove, cover up, or otherwise make the permit or license less conspicuous in any way.

(2) Body piercing establishments and technicians who also practice tattooing as prescribed by T.C.A. 62-38-201 et. seq., shall also be required to meet all the operational, licensing and permitting requirements as outlined in these rules. Where the rules or statute differ for tattooing and body piercing, the more stringent requirements shall take precedence.

(3) Severability. If any provision or application of any provision of these rules is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of these rules.
