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.
The employer/repair shop is required to have a repair license not an employee.
Many tattoo artists will not issue a refund unless this was discussed beforehand. The process of getting a tattoo should start with the client looking at past work from the artist, then having the artist sketch EXACTLY what they're going to tattoo. If these things weren't done, your artist might not be much of a professional. If the artist was a professional, there might be some sort of policy in the shop. However, just because you don't like a tattoo doesn't mean it was done poorly. In most cases you'll have to deal with the other artists at the tattoo shop and their opinion of the quality of the work. Most likely, you're not going to get your money back. However, there are plenty of good artists that will cover the bad work with something better.
Where I live the shop is required to have a repair license to operate, the mechanics do not.
Eric Ladyland tattoo is a well known tattoo shop located in New Orleans. If you are in the New Orleans area and looking to get a great tattoo artist to work on your body art. You can stop by on Frenchman street.
It is a state to state, or even city to city regulation, but it is generally ILLEGAL to tattoo out of the home whatsoever. Doctors, dentists, and even hair dressers are not allowed to work out of their homes either.
You can't legally. Anyone tattooing without a license to do so is breaking the law......and that is probably not the only law that they're breaking. I am a professional state licensed tattoo artist in NH.
You must apprentice under a Master artist before you can get a license, bottom line. I'm not sure what your experience is, but I recommend you go to a reputable shop and talk to an artist there about getting your apprenticeship started, if you are really serious about your tattoo career and want to work out of a shop, not out of your kitchen.
usually pretty creepy
It depends on the felony and the tattoo shop. Eg: La Ink are not likely to hire an ex-burglar. But the dodgy shop down the back of a high street may?
I would think that you would have to be at least 18 to work there since that's what age you have to be to actually get a tattoo but I may be wrong.

No. As of right now the individual does not have to be licensed, but the facility in which you work does.

According to an interview in Inked magazine, Kat Von D says that the real team of tattoo artists at the shop are "team b" and that TLC has dictated the hiring and firing of the tattoo artists that appear on "LA Inked".
