Ansbach / Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - Only doctors are allowed to remove tattoos and permanent makeup with a laser after a court decision.
The operator of a studio from Nuremberg had sued the new regulation - without success.
The removal of tattoos by laser is a complex process, the Ansbach administrative court justified the rejection of the urgent application on Friday.
The studio operator was allowed to lend a hand until the end of last year, when the new regulation came into force.
For the studio operator, this amounts to a professional ban.
In fact, his occupational freedom is restricted, the administrative court has now ruled.
But that is "justified and especially proportionate".
Removal with a laser could lead to serious health problems, it said.
In addition, there is a risk of accidental skin changes being removed.
That could make the timely diagnosis of diseases more difficult.
