Some states such as NY don't require that you have a license.. you can literally have no experience to open a shop. However, in order to hire artists almost every shop requires that you have an extensive portfolio of body work and stenciling you have done, and will have you be an apprentice for quite some time to make sure you have the art of inking down pat..
As far as other states go I couldn't tell ya, but I'd contact a local tattoo shop they you may want to work at and see how to go about getting you certified.
Good luck, and happy inking!

You want a studio to see of. It's unlawful to tattoo from your dwelling. And each the studio and your self must be certified by way of the well being division on your state. You must go a blood borne pathogens path, and be actively hired at a studio that's already certified with a purpose to legally tattoo, in such a lot states. New Mexico, and New York are 2 of the unregulated states. There are a few others. When a state is unregulated by way of state legislation, the neighborhood legislation, town and county; preside. In New Mexico, simplest animal tattooing is regulated. Like in the event you wish to tattoo serial numbers on thoroughbred animals for identity functions. You have got to be state certified to do this. Tattooing illegally on minors is a criminal in fairly a couple of states. Not clever.

i take it that at this stage you are a practiced professional...
go to your local council, and find out what you need for a license in your area
