About the Body Art Program

Boulder County Public Health licenses and routinely inspects all body art facilities operating within the county. "Body art" facilities include any facilities that provide tattoo and piercing services.

Body art is an invasive procedure in which the skin is punctured or compromised. Contaminates or pathogens can invade the body through punctured skin. Poor sanitation practices, such as improperly sanitized instruments or lack of testing for airborne spores, can lead to infection or transmission of communicable diseases such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
