The Law
Hawaii's older health codes placed strict limitations on where a standard tattoo artist could apply ink. Tattooing delicate areas like behind the ear or near the eyelids was restricted to medical doctors to prevent severe infections or blindness. Today, modern sanitation standards have mostly rendered this strict medical requirement obsolete.
