Ink Life Tour Artists -
If you do not have a tattoo ARTIST license from another city/state/country, you will have to apply for an annual Florida Tattoo Artist License. Allow a minimum of two days for processing of your application and issuance of your license.
Licensure requires submission of a completed Application for Tattoo Artist License with the required $60.00 fee; a copy of a government-issued photo identification confirming the applicant is at least 18 years of age; and documentation of completing a Florida Department of Health approved, industry-specific, bloodborne pathogens and communicable diseases course with a minimum examination score of 70%. Courses which have received approval can be found on the Department's Education Courses for Tattoo Artist webpage. The tattoo artist application requires the artist to document the licensed tattoo establishment(s) where the artist will be working. A tattoo artist license may not be issued without this information. Submit to LeeEH@floridahealth.gov and an invoice will be emailed to you for web payment.
A Guest Tattoo Artist Registration is only available to an artist who holds an active ARTIST license from another government jurisdiction outside of Florida. In addition, you must also have documentation of completing a Florida Department of Health approved, industry-specific, bloodborne pathogens and communicable diseases course with a minimum examination score of 70%. Approved courses can be found here: Education Courses for Tattoo Artist webpage.
