FAQs about California bloodborne pathogens training certification for tattoo artists and other body art practitioners.

Who needs to get a California tattoo license?

Tattoo licenses aren't issued in California. 

Instead, California tattoo artists, body piercers, permanent cosmetics artists, microbladers, and branding artists must register as body art practitioners with their local enforcement agency.

According to the Safe Body Art Act, any individual who performs body art on a person must be a registered practitioner even if no money is exchanged or the body art occurs as part of a training course.

What are the bloodborne pathogens training requirements for body art practitioners in California?

Califonia body art practitioners must take bloodborne pathogens training that meets the requirements of the Safe Body Art Act.

BBP training for body art practitioners must:

• be given by a person knowledgeable in exposure control and infection prevention in the body art setting and who is approved by the local enforcement agency
• not less than two hours of instruction in required topics
• specific to the performance of body art
• renewed annually

Besides body art practitioners, does anyone else in a CA body art shop need to take bloodborne pathogens training?

In addition to body art practitioners, any person in a body art studio who has occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials must also take BBP training.

This requirement, for example, would apply to any staff member who has duties in a decontamination and sterilization area or a procedure area.

Which California BBP certification should I take?

If you work in California outside of Los Angeles County, you are on the correct page and should take this course, "Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Training - California".

If you work in Los Angeles County, you should take "Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Training - Los Angeles". 

If you work in Los Angeles and in other California counties, take "Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Training - Los Angeles". All California counties accept our Los Angeles course. The only difference is that Los Angeles requires ID verification.

Who enforces the bloodborne pathogens training requirement for California body art practitioners?

Local enforcement agencies are responsible for enforcing the Safe Body Art Act requirement that tattoo artists, permanent cosmetics artists, microblading artists, piercers, and branding artists take annual bloodborne pathogens training.

The Safe Body Art Act defines "Local Enforcement Agency" as the local health agency of the county, city, or city and county. In jurisdictions where the local health agency and the environmental health agency are separate departments, the jurisdiction specifies which entity will be the local enforcement agency.
