Hi everyone,
Can I legally give someone a tattoo from home if I don’t have a professional license? What are the risks or legal issues involved?
Hallo,folks, my advise,It’s always best to get a tattoo from a licensed professional at a reputable studio. They have the proper equipment, training, and experience to ensure a safe and positive experience.
Yes, you can, as long as you live in a state that doesn’t require a license. Be sure to check your local laws to confirm what’s required. However, it’s important to practice a lot before tattooing someone. Many tattoo artists use fruits or pig skin to practice. If you make a mistake while tattooing, you could be sued, so it’s wise to be cautious about who you tattoo.
Edit: Here’s what I found for your state. Please double-check to ensure the information is up-to-date: “Indiana requires shops to register, and shop owners must have a permit from the Health Department. While no individual license is needed, all artists must complete an OSHA-approved Bloodborne Pathogens course.”
