PART 1: OKLAHOMA STATUTES & LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
(20 Questions)
Q1: According to Oklahoma Statute Title 21, Section 842.1, under which circumstance may a
person under 18 years of age receive a tattoo?
● A. If they have a notarized note from a parent or legal guardian
● B. If they are accompanied by a sibling over 21 years of age
● C. Only when the parent or legal guardian gives written consent AND is present during the
procedure [CORRECT]
● D. If they are emancipated minors with proof of court documentation
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oklahoma law explicitly requires both written parental consent AND physical
presence of the parent/legal guardian during the procedure for any minor under 18.
Emancipated minor status does not create an exception to this requirement. Performing
tattooing on an unaccompanied minor with only a note is unlawful regardless of notarization.
Q2: What is the maximum jail time for a misdemeanor violation of Oklahoma tattooing laws
under Section 842.1?
● A. 30 days
● B. 90 days [CORRECT]
● C. 6 months
● D. 1 year
Correct Answer: B
,Rationale: Any person violating the provisions of Section 842.1 or related rules shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, a fine not more than
$5,000, or both. The 90-day maximum is specific to tattooing violations under this statute.
Q3: According to Section 842.1, what is the maximum fine for a first-time violation of
Oklahoma's tattooing laws?
● A. $1,000
● B. $2,500
● C. $5,000 [CORRECT]
● D. $10,000
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Section 842.1 establishes that violations are punishable by a fine not exceeding
$5,000, imprisonment not exceeding 90 days, or both. This applies to unlawful tattooing on
minors, tattooing impaired persons, and violations of sterilization requirements.
Q4: Under Section 842.1, what constitutes "unlawful tattooing" regarding persons under the
influence?
● A. Tattooing anyone who has consumed any alcohol within 24 hours
● B. Tattooing any person who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs
[CORRECT]
● C. Only tattooing persons with blood alcohol content above 0.08%
● D. Tattooing customers who admit to recreational drug use
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Section 842.1 prohibits tattooing any person who is "under the influence of alcohol
or drugs." This is a subjective standard based on the artist's observation of impairment, not a
specific BAC measurement. The prohibition applies to all impairing substances, not just
alcohol.
Q5: What is the minimum distance a tattoo establishment must be located from any church,
school, or playground under Oklahoma law?
● A. 500 feet
● B. 750 feet
● C. 1,000 feet [CORRECT]
● D. 1,500 feet
Correct Answer: C
,Rationale: Oklahoma Statute Title 21, Section 842.1 and OAC 158:10-1-6 require tattoo
establishments to be located at least 1,000 feet from any church, public or private school, or
playground. This is measured from property line to property line, not entrance to entrance.
Q6: According to Section 842.2, what is the penalty for scleral tattooing (eyeball tattooing) in
Oklahoma?
● A. A $500 fine only
● B. A Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year imprisonment and/or $5,000 fine
[CORRECT]
● C. A civil infraction with no criminal penalties
● D. License suspension only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Section 842.2 specifically prohibits scleral tattooing (injecting pigment into the
white of the eye) and classifies it as a misdemeanor with enhanced penalties of up to one
year imprisonment and/or a fine up to $5,000. This reflects the extreme health risks
associated with this procedure.
Q7: Which of the following is NOT a valid exemption to Oklahoma's tattoo licensing
requirements under Section 842.1?
● A. Licensed physicians performing tattooing for medical purposes
● B. Licensed dentists performing tattooing incidental to dental practice
● C. Licensed cosmetologists performing permanent makeup [CORRECT]
● D. Licensed osteopathic physicians performing reconstructive tattooing
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: While physicians, osteopaths, and dentists are exempt when performing tattooing
incidental to their licensed practice, cosmetologists are NOT exempt from tattoo licensing
requirements. Permanent makeup application requires a tattoo license in Oklahoma. This is
a common misconception.
Q8: A tattoo artist in Tulsa performs a procedure on a 17-year-old who presents a handwritten
note from their mother and a photocopy of her ID. The mother is not present. What violation
has occurred?
● A. No violation if the note appears genuine
● B. Unlawful tattooing of a minor without parental presence [CORRECT]
● C. Only a documentation violation
● D. A technical violation with no criminal penalty
, Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Under Section 842.1, the physical presence of the parent/legal guardian is
mandatory. A note alone, even with ID verification, does not satisfy the statutory requirement.
This constitutes unlawful tattooing of a minor, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days
and/or $5,000 fine.
Q9: According to OAC 158:10-1-6, how is the 1,000-foot distance requirement from schools
and churches measured?
● A. From front door to front door
● B. From nearest entrance to nearest entrance
● C. From property line to property line [CORRECT]
● D. From building wall to building wall
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Administrative Code specifies measurement from property line to property
line, not entrance to entrance. This prevents establishments from locating on large parcels
adjacent to prohibited facilities while technically meeting a door-to-door measurement.
Q10: Under Section 842.1, what documentation must be retained for a minor receiving a
lawful tattoo?
● A. A verbal acknowledgment recorded by the artist
● B. Written consent signed by the parent/legal guardian [CORRECT]
● C. A video recording of the parent giving consent
● D. A notarized affidavit from two witnesses
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The statute requires written consent from the parent/legal guardian. While
notarization is not statutorily required, the written consent must be maintained in the
establishment's records. Video recordings and witness affidavries do not substitute for the
parent's written consent and physical presence.
Q11: An establishment applies for a tattoo license renewal 45 days after the expiration date.
What is the total amount due including late fees under OAC 158:10-1-4?
● A. $500
● B. $750
● C. $1,250 [CORRECT]
● D. $1,500
