They used regulatory inspection as a means to check and document barbers in Florida who were suspected of selling drugs. Radley Balko covered it in his book and has pointed to the absurdity of such actions a couple of times that I've seen. Ski-masked agents, wearing no sort of identification, raided a couple of barbershops on regulatory grounds (making sure the men had a barbering license [and documenting names]) as a means to circumvent obtaining a warrant.
The way they documented the woman's tattoos, it would seem to be the same scenario. They send confidential informants (substance addicted subsidized whores, who were themselves arrested and extorted (by the DA [or DEA]), as a means to avoid absurd prison sentences) into an establishment and badger people into pointing them to where drugs are at. They buy some drugs and then this.
Documenting tattoos so that when state's witness/agent says, "Well the girl who sold me this had this tattoo." Damning is an understatement when fascist sympathizers wish to imprison people for non-crimes.
This is what it is about. It isn't, though as riveting as it may be for particular sadists, a means to forcibly parade women around and simply check if they are licensed. It is a Constitutionally abhorrent means of evading the requirement for a search warrant by eliciting the help of the myriad of thousands of regulatory codes (by eliciting the help of unconstitutional, bureaucratic schemes, rather).
