Body Art
What We Do
Tattoo, body piercing, branding and permanent cosmetic facilities are inspected to minimize the spread of disease and infection. EHS registers practitioners before body art activities can be performed.
California law states that “every person engaged in the business of tattooing, body piercing, or permanent cosmetics is required to register in the county in which that business is conducted.” View the Safe Body Art Assembly Bill No. 1168 for further information.
Body Art Practitioner
A “practitioner” is defined as a person who performs body art on a client. These activities include tattooing, body piercing, application of permanent cosmetics, and branding. A Body Art Practitioner in a city or the unincorporated County area is required to register annually with EHS before body art activities can be performed. Inspections will be conducted regularly by EHS to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
San Bernardino County Approved Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Trainers
