Tattoo Parlors

Tattoo Parlors are regulated through an inspection and permitting process. Tattoo permits are issued to an artist at a specific place of operation and are not transferable to other artists or addresses. If the artist moves to a new establishment, then the prior permit is invalid and the artist must obtain a new permit at the new place of practice. The permit can not be issued before an inspection has occurred. Each permit expires after one year and a new permit must be issued. The permit must be posted and visible to the public. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that all sanitation requirements are being met in accordance with the state Tattooing rules. This program also regulates permanent make-up artists.
