Actually you are wrong. As I said before every state is different when it comes to regulating body art establishments. I own a shop in Georgia and in this state it is up to each county to decide if and how to regulate tattoo shops. In the county I am in there is no licensing of artists or shops (aside from a standard business license) available. All of our artists ARE certified in Cross contamination and Bloodborne Pathogen prevention though. But even this is not required by law. There are no federal regulations aside from, disposal of needles, which is basically a guideline you are supposed to follow, but this to is not required by law.

You need to check with your local county board of health to find out if licensing is required.

How do you get your nc tattoo license with out having to work in a tattoo shop?

The laws vary state to state, but as of now, I do not believe that you have to get a "tattoo license" in the state of North Carolina. In a lot of instances the "license" to which people commonly refer to as the "tattoo license" is usually a business license, which you need to legally operate to begin with. This in addition to being trained and passing courses in bloodborne pathogens as well as CPR and basic first aid. Call your local health board.


Do you need a tattoo license in Canada?

NO. However, let's get this straight. There is no Canadian licensing body that licenses the tattoo artist or certifies him/her to be able to tattoo. There is a school in Toronto, but it is not accredited to my knowledge. The tattoo artists' SHOP must be licensed. This process involves having Health Canada inspect the tattoo shop at least once a year to ensure that they are following Canada guidelines in health and safety (ensuring that the environment is clean, equipment is properly stored, used and sterilized where appropriate; ensure that the proper disinfectants are being used etc... People are quickly mixing up "licensed studio" with a "tattoo license or certification" which are two completely different things. Your shop has to be licensed, but the artist does not.

You must apprentice under a Master artist before you can get a license, bottom line.
