Tattoo Program

The State of Florida Tattoo Program has been in effect since 2012. The program requires the licensure of tattoo artists and tattoo establishment, and also sets forth educational requirements and the standards of practice for conventional and cosmetic tattoo artists, as well as operational requirements for tattoo establishments. It is also designed to protect the public from the risks associated with potentially infectious biomedical waste.

The governing authority for this program is Florida Statute 381.00771-381.00791 and Florida Administrative Code 64E-28.
