A bill restricting tattoos and banning dermal implants and body scarification passed in March 2013 by the Arkansas Senate with an overwhelming vote of 26-4.

The bill has since been amended before it reached (and was ultimately approved by) the House. The amendments include:

- State Board of Health regulation of scarification (instead of a complete ban)
- Only subdermal implants were banned.

How far is too far? Are we okay with the government passing legislation over what we can and can't do with our bodies (aesthetically)?

I want to hear your thoughts on this, especially those who lobby for big government.

I was particularly enraged.
