Hi Jay, you don't have a personal or tattoo license. The way it works is that you get a business license, but you also have to get a health card and perhaps take a tb test from the county. This license qualifies you to be a tattoo artist because it comes with a health card and perhaps a health inspection at the place where you perform your tattoo art. The tax ID you need is called a business tax registration ID also called a business license and an EIN.
That said, here is what you need as far as licenses and tax ID numbers:
"Before & After INK by JAYY, LLC" has to be registered with an LLC certificate. If you order on our site, you get the LLC operating agreement (legally required) for free as well as the LLC articles or organization (LLC certificate).
You also need to buy without paying sales tax from supplies, as well as Lowe's Home Depot and other wholesale vendors, and you need a seller's permit. Sure thing! Ready to ink out some solid business advice? Let’s get into the colorful world of tattooing with a mix of art, numbers, and licenses!
The Tattoo Industry: By the Numbers So, you're not just playing around with ink—this is serious business. The tattoo industry in the U.S. is valued at around $1.6 billion and keeps growing by the day. With over 21% of Americans sporting tattoos (and we’re not just talking about tiny butterflies), the demand is on fire. Your artistic skill is the gateway to a lucrative business, but first, you’ve gotta get that tattoo artist license. Let's break it down.
Becoming a Licensed Tattoo Artist Tattooing isn’t just about having steady hands and killer designs. Every state has its own process for certifying tattoo artists, so if you're licensed in New York but ready to sling ink elsewhere, you'll need to check out the specific requirements for the state you’re moving to. The process generally includes:
Completing a training program or apprenticeship (usually 1-2 years)
Providing proof of bloodborne pathogens certification (nobody likes infection!)
Submitting to a background check and/or health exam
Passing an exam on safety and sanitation practices Once you’ve ticked those off the list, you’ll need to maintain that license with continuing education in most states. After all, regulations and tattoo trends are always evolving. Plus, nobody wants a 2002 tribal arm band situation, right?
Setting Up a Tattoo Studio: LLC, Seller's Permit, and All That Jazz Now, for the business side of things. Want to set up that sweet tattoo/tattoo supply shop? Here’s what you’ll need:
Forming an LLC vs. Sole Proprietorship An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a smart choice for tattoo businesses because it separates your personal assets from your business liabilities. This means if, heaven forbid, something goes wrong (like a tattoo gone rogue), your personal bank account and car aren’t on the line. Plus, LLCs give you some tax flexibility and an extra layer of professionalism when clients walk through the door. On the other hand, a Sole Proprietorship is easier to set up and costs less, but it doesn’t give you that protection. It’s like free-handing a huge chest piece without a stencil—you’re out there on your own. |
| Tattoo artists whom do body modification on only ages 21 and older. Everyone has to legally sign a contract before and after the procedure is complete. No one under the age can be allowed without supervised without a parent. We take our employees and clients seriously and cautiously. Everyone is also licensed under OSHA sanitation law. Also, under NYC permits, tattoo artists must license to perform their work. I also enforce my team to get routine blood tests every two weeks for check ups. For their safety and the clients.
Hi Christine, you don't have a personal or tattoo license. The way it works is that you get a business license, but you also have to get a health card and perhaps take a tb test from the county. This license qualifies you to be a tattoo artist because it comes with a health card and perhaps a health inspection at the place where you perform your tattoo art. The tax ID you need is called a business tax registration ID also called a business license and an EIN.
That said, here is what you need as far as licenses and tax ID numbers:
"Before & Anchor & Co Tattoo, LLC" assumed name has to be registered with an LLC certificate. If you order on our site, you get the LLC operating agreement (legally required) for free as well as the LLC articles or organization (LLC certificate).
You also need to buy without paying sales tax from supplies, as well as Lowe's Home Depot and other wholesale vendors, and you need a seller's permit.
Seller's Permit: Selling Ink, Need Paper If you're selling tattoo supplies (ink, needles, aftercare products, etc.), you’ll need a seller's permit. This allows you to collect sales tax on the products you sell. It’s like the tattoo world’s version of making sure your paperwork is all in order before you start inking up someone’s arm. If you don’t have one and you’re selling stuff, it could come back to haunt you (and not in a cool ghost tattoo way).
Business Name Registration Operating under a unique name? You might want to register that name (often called a DBA or "Doing Business As"). This makes your business legit and prevents anyone else from using your hard-earned name. Whether you go for something fierce like "Steel & Ink" or more artsy like "Brushstrokes Tattoo Studio," locking down that name is a good move.
EIN: Your Business’s SSN An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is like a Social Security number for your business. It’s how the IRS identifies you when it’s tax time, and you’ll need one if you plan to hire other artists or employees. If it’s just you doing the tattooing, you might not technically *need* an EIN, but it’s a good idea anyway. Why? It separates your business finances from your personal finances—always a smart move.
Other Permits and Considerations
Health Department Permits: Tattooing involves blood, and the health department takes that *very* seriously. You’ll need inspections to make sure your studio is as clean as your line work.
Special Use Permits: Some locations require special zoning permits for tattoo shops. That "strip mall next to the smoothie place" location might have some extra hoops to jump through.
Liability Insurance: Not technically a license, but let’s face it—you need this. Nobody’s perfect, and having insurance can save your business if someone claims they didn’t want that face tattoo after all.
Getting Inked in Another State If you’re already licensed in one state (say New York), and want to work in another, you usually won’t be able to just transfer your license directly. But some states have “reciprocity agreements,” which means they might recognize your New York training, and only require you to take a short course or pass a test. Each state varies, but it’s often a matter of proving you’re already a legit artist who knows the safety ropes.
Startup Costs and Gear To get your tattoo/tattoo supply shop off the ground, here's what you're looking at:
Tattoo Equipment (machines, needles, ink): $1,000 - $5,000
Furniture (chairs, beds, lighting): $2,000 - $10,000
Studio Rent: $1,500 - $5,000/month (depending on location)
Licenses, Permits, and Insurance: $500 - $2,000 Not to mention branding, marketing, and setting up your website to show off your masterpieces. --- |
