This document provides 100 verified and correctly answered questions from the Virginia Permanent Makeup (PMU) and Tattoo Licensing Exam regulated by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) for the 2025/2026 cycle. It is designed to help prospective permanent cosmetic tattooers, master cosmetic tattooers, and tattoo artists meet Virginia state licensure requirements with confidence. Topics include in-depth coverage of sanitation and infection control (OSHA, universal precautions, contaminated tools), PMU-specific anatomy (epidermis, hypodermis, cranial nerves, musculature), chemical and pigment safety (organic vs. inorganic pigments, Fitzpatrick typing, pointillism), and DPOR laws and administrative codes (e.g., 18-VAC-41-50-30 for license by endorsement, limited term licenses, refund policies, and re-examination rules). Business-related material such as branding, marketing strategy, direct mail, gratuity-based services, and annual business planning are also included. Unique to this exam are clinical considerations like body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), herpes simplex precautions, and client consultation documentation (photos, health history, consent forms). Technical skills tested include manual tap, rotary pens, needle types, color retention in facial zones, and PMU complications (granulomas, erythema, migration). This content is essential for both first-time candidates and professionals seeking licensure updates or reciprocity.
