Best Answer

The best way to get a license in ANY state (except the states where tattooing is illegal still) is to apprenticeship at a local shop with a good reputation. If you think you can tattoo circles around the local competition, then offer to be a "guest artist" at there business. If you are pretty good at slinging ink, most shops will get the license for you, and offer you a residency in their shop. Should you choose to ever leave, the license can be taken with you, as long as it is in your name.

Becoming a Licensed Tattoo ArtistIn most cases in order to become a licensed tattooist or artist you should either go to tattoo school,or find a licensed artist (tattooist). Try to get an apprenticeship. which takes any were from 3 to 5 years to complete. TATTOO ARTISTLike any artist, you need to create a portfolio of your artwork. Also, anyone who's in a position to hire you will want to see a picture of your work on person rather than just your artwork on paper. Most, if not all, US states require a tattoo artist's license. Check your state government's Health Department to find out how to get one if you don't already. Then start pounding the pavement and inquire at tattoo parlors. If you're any good, your work will speak for itself.

A tattoo artist in North Carolina once told me you have to go to a lot of classes--mostly covering infection control--then do 400 tattoos on pigskin. You then submit the 400 pieces of pigskin to the county health department, who decides from looking at them that you know how to tattoo.

OK, The real deal is this whether you are in Bangor, Me. or in Cairo, Ga. you really need to cal the local State Board of Health and see what the regulations are.....You may be quite surprised or utterly shocked to find out what the regulations are there....

If they have regulations, you will have to deal with them first for the city to accept you as a new body art business....Most places want to see the B. o H.'s approval of you before they grant you a city license for business. And then you best talk to the State and see if they have a separate license... Here in Alabama I pay out about $760.00 for a few 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper that allow me to work for one more year. Hope this helps....TatuBaron

You have to meet the requirements set forth by the NM Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists. You have to prove how and where you learned how to tattoo. You must pass a test regarding the state laws concerning tattooing. You must also proved pictures of healed work you have done. You must also provide proof that you have current certification for Blood-borne Pathogens, CPR, and First Aid.
