Body Art
Apprentice Requirements
Per the Southern Nevada Health District Regulations Governing the Sanitation and Safety of Tattoo Establishments and the Regulations Governing the Sanitation and Safety of Body Piercing Establishments, applicants must have a minimum of six months continuous training in a duly-licensed establishment in Nevada, another state or country before they can receive a permanent body art health card.
Applicants who do not meet this requirement must serve an apprenticeship for a minimum of six months in a health permitted establishment. All health permit holders have been provided with the procedures for apprentices who will be working in their establishments.
Apprentices must have a temporary health card before they can begin their apprenticeship.
The requirements for a temporary health card are similar to a permanent body art health card, except the apprentice will need to provide the following additional information.
- Letter of employment from the owner of a permitted facility where they will be working. The letter must include:
- Date, facility name, facility address and phone number.
- Applicant's job duties (e.g. tattoo, permanent makeup and/or body piercing).
- Signature of owner or manager of facility.
- Upon completion of at least six months training, the applicant must submit written proof from the health permit holder stating the required training is complete before an operator health card is issued.
Note: Permanent Health Cards will not be issued without written documentation from the health permitted establishment where applicant will be operating.
