The Inspection Services Department is responsible for inspecting all body art and body piercing facilities excluding those that offer ear piercing only. Each facility must obtain a Body Art Permit through the Health Department every year. The operator of the facility must apply for an Operator's Permit every two years. Inspections are not based on a grading scale, but on compliance and non-compliance standards. Items found in non-compliance must be corrected immediately. Please contact our office for more information concerning the Body Art and Body Piercing Program.
