El Paso city leaders have adopted a new ordinance requiring tattoo shops to undergo pre-inspection before opening or renewing their licenses. The measure aims to enhance public safety by ensuring facilities meet health and sanitation standards prior to operation. Businesses will now face stricter oversight before they can legally begin serving customers. Supporters argue the change will help prevent potential risks associated with unregulated tattoo practices.
