Tattooing / Body Piercing /
Permanent Cosmetics

Environmental Health Division

 

Recent state legislation requires all practitioners of "body arts", including tattooing, body piercing, and application of permanent cosmetics, to register with the local health department. Registration requirements for operators at this time include review of proposed regulations, completion of an application form, and payment of a $25.00 registration fee.

Regulations regarding the structural and operational aspects of facilities where the body arts are practiced are currently being reviewed and are expected to be enacted by the State in the near future. When the regulations are enacted, staff in this programs will conduct inspections of all facilities where tattooing, body piercing, and the application of permanent cosmetics take place within the County of Orange.

For information regarding registration, or to file a complaint, call (714) 433-6210 or email  kbish@ochca.com
