Guest tattoo artist registration is required for any tattoo artist who plans to tattoo in Florida and who also holds an active tattoo artist license, registration, or certification issued by a jurisdiction outside Florida.
The tattoo artist is also required to have completed a bloodborne pathogen and communicable diseases training, that is comparable or exceeding those requirements specified in section Rule 64E-28.006, Florida Administrative Code.
If your state does not require a tattoo artist license registration or certification, you must apply for a Florida tattoo artist license.
