In my own opinion I have to agree with draybono on parts of this...
I also have to pay annually for my safe body piercing certificate,
also have to pay annually for the bbp course, standard first aid course, cpr course
not to mention the bio medical waste, insurance, ect
so I will agree if i have to pay the state for all of this
i would like some recourse on them protecting my interests..
any legit piercer in the state of florida is required to have this:
as well as these bbp crp and first aid courses
I can see both sides however I pay these because it is part of the biz
its what i have to do to operate in my state
if i could so should they
