The Southern Nevada Health District is proposing an update and revision of the two Health District regulations that govern the sanitation and safety of tattoo and piercing establishments. The Health District is proposing to combine the two regulations into one regulation that governs the sanitation and safety of body art establishments. Proposed revisions will reflect the Nevada State Regulations addressing invasive body art that can be found in Chapter 444 of the Nevada Administrative Code and improve the public health of Southern Nevada.
