TUCSON, Ariz. — Derek Dooley owns Tucson Tattoo on Grant and Oracle. He’s been tattooing for years, and left his first tattoo shop under a noncompete agreement.

“If somebody’s unhappy and they want to go somewhere else, I’m not going to try and keep them,” he said.Dooley said he doesn’t know anybody with a noncompete in the tattoo industry, so he said the recent Federal Trade Commission ruling might not make a difference because Arizona is a right to work state.In an effort to promote competition, the FTC ruled that noncompetes will soon be banned nationwide.

The FTC said the ban is going to create more than 8,500 new businesses that are going to be started each year. They said about one in five Americans have a noncompete, which they said is about 30 million Americans.
