I would think it would not be legal. Even in modern facilities, tattooing is not without risks. The two most significant ones are allergic responses to the pigments and exposure to blood-borne pathogens. The compounds used as pigments range from metal oxides to synthetic organic dyes. Cases of hypersensitivity to a pigment resulting in allergic responses have been reported but the incidence of such reactions is low. Since tattooing involves injections under the skin, poor infection control practices before, during and after the procedure by the tattooist and the consumer can lead to risk of bacterial and/or viral infection. There have been cases of hepatitis B transmission through tattooing. Transmission of hepatitis C and HIV are also possible with lack of proper sanitation but have never been reported. Why would you take these risks without a license?

I think you need a health department license regardless if you charge or not. Just because you don't charge people money doesn't mean you get to ignore safety regulations. If you are not running an dirty tattoo parlor than you are going to spread bloodbourne diseases, such as AIDS, this is why the health department regulates this kind of stuff. Personally I don't care if it is free if you don't have the required licenses I will not go to you.

I would say yes, if it's done privately, and no money is exchanged. If someone wants a tattoo, and you'll do it for free, then why not. I know lots of people who have their own tattoo guns, and do lots of free work. In fact, I have a tattoo from one of them. As long as you're not running an underground business, you should be fine. What's the health department going to do, shut down your operation? How can they if there is no operation...

I wouldn't think so....if you're not charging, then I don't know what laws you'd be breaking.

If you don't charge anything, it becomes "simple assault", and you can go to jail!
