DPH CLOSES UNPERMITTED BODY ART BUSINESSES

Delaware's Division of Public Health closed two unpermitted Sussex County body art businesses on March 17 for violation of regulations under Title 16 of Delaware Code. The Dragon's Lair operated at two locations; 18388 Coastal Plaza, Unit 8, Lewes and 31507 Trading Post Plaza, Unit 11, Millsboro. Without a permit, The Dragon's Lair failed to receive the necessary health inspections to operate.

DPH encourages customers and employees who may be experiencing any health issues to contact their health care provider for evaluation.

Delawareans can also contact DPH's Bureau of Epidemiology at 302-744-1050 with questions about health risks and disease testing services.
