WHO CAN OFFER PERMANENT COSMETICS?
Each state has their own set of rules and regulations regarding permanent make-up. The State of Tennessee classifies permanent cosmetics as a tattoo and uses the following definition for tattoo. “Tattoo” means any method of placing designs, letters, figures, symbols, cosmetics or any other marks under the skin of a person with ink or color by the aid of needles or instruments. Only an artist with a valid “tattoo license” may offer services to the public and in order to legally obtain a license, you must participate in a one year apprenticeship program under a licensed tattoo artist who has held their license for three years.
