Hygiene and Handwashing Standards

ANSWER: Artists must thoroughly wash their hands with soap and warm water
before and after eating, drinking, or using tobacco. This prevents the transfer of
pathogens from the work environment to the mouth (and vice versa).
2. What do licensing requirements primarily ensure?
ANSWER: They ensure that both the artist and the facility meet public health and
safety standards, specifically regarding infection control, proper training (like
BBP), and the use of sterile equipment.

minors or using unsterile equipment protects the public from high-risk procedures
that the state has deemed unsafe for non-medical settings.
Age and Consent
4. Minimum age for a tattoo without parental consent?
ANSWER: 18 years old. ✔✔ (In most states, including Oklahoma and Kansas).
5. One key reason to follow health regulations?
ANSWER: To prevent the transmission of infectious diseases (like Hepatitis and
HIV) between clients and artists through cross-contamination.
6. Required documentation for the establishment owner?
ANSWER: The owner's legal name, home address, and telephone number must
be on file, along with proof of a valid business permit and compliance with local
zoning.
