Temporary tattoo establishments must meet the same operational requirements as a regular tattoo shop, including hand sinks. They must also comply with Chapter 64E-28, Florida Administrative Code. To be considered “temporary,” events must not last longer than 14 consecutive days from the first day of the event.
