Body Art, Tattoos, and Piercings

The Environmental Health Services Division in 2003 instituted annual licensing and inspections of all tattoo and body piercing facilities, including permanent make-up studios. This does not include practices conducted under the supervision of a physician licensed to practice medicine under Colorado law. Inspections are performed annually with follow-up inspections conducted on an as-needed basis. Investigations also are conducted in response to complaints, reports of suspected disease, construction and remodel activities, fire, etc.
