Introduction & Background
• Why a change Now?
Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach
o United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that tattoos, tattooing, and the business of tattooing are considered a form of artistic expression and therefore protected under the First Amendment (2010).
Real v. City of Long Beach
o United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit determined that municipalities should ensure that there are sufficient locations in which tattoo parlors may operate (2017).
