Ban the Piercing Gun in Ohio (OH residents only)

  • by: Tiffany Apel
  • recipient: William Franks, Health Commissioner of Stark County, Ohio Health Department
Lets get the health department in OH to ban ear piercing guns. This device is unhygienic, inaccurate, and above all dangerous. People MUST be made aware of the risks. (OH residents only)
We the undersigned would like you to change the laws regarding piercing guns in the state of Ohio.
We would like Ohio to ban the use of these dangerous and unhygienic devices.
This device is unhygienic, inaccurate, and above all dangerous. People MUST be made aware of the risks.  As is now well known, the Hepatitis virus can live for extended periods of time on inanimate surfaces, and could be harbored within a piercing gun for several weeks or more. Hepatitis and common staph infections, which could be found on such surfaces, constitute a serious public health threat if they are introduced into even one reusable piercing gun. Ear piercing guns can not be properly sterilized and an alcohol wipe or spray does not sterilize the gun.  For more information please visit: http://www.norwalktattoo.com/piercinggun.htm http://www.akrontattoos.com/Pguns.html
Thank You for taking the time to read our petition, we know as someone concerned about public health that you will, no doubt, act on it.
