Florida Tattoo License Training Requirements
To achieve initial licensure or registration as a tattoo artist in Florida, applicants must complete a specialized training course focused on bloodborne pathogens and communicable diseases. This training is essential to ensure that artists know how to maintain safe practices and protect themselves and their clients. Upon completing the course, individuals must pass an examination to demonstrate their understanding of the material.
It's important to note that once an artist license is obtained, there are no ongoing continuing education requirements for license renewal or the re-registration of guest artists. This streamlined process allows artists to focus on their craft without the burden of additional training mandates.
