premises used for residential purposes from the tattooing and piercing area.
The partition may contain a door, provided it remains closed, except for
entering and leaving.
(j) If a
room used for any business purposes other than permanent color, tattooing, or
body piercing is the same room or is adjacent to a room used for the practice

conditions that the board considers a possible threat to the health of the
