Having anyone tattooing in a tattoo shop without an active tattoo artist license, subjects the business to a fine and cancellation of their tattoo establishment license.

 

A guest tattoo artist registration is required for any tattoo artist who:

  • Plans to tattoo in Florida.
  • Has a valid artist license, registration, or certification issued by a jurisdiction outside of Florida.

A guest tattoo artist registration is valid for up to 14 consecutive days from the date of issue.
