TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING ESTABLISHMENTS
| The Tattoo & Body
Piercing Establishment program is a relatively new state program –
established in 1998. The state law and rules for this program
require annual licensing and inspection of these facilities. In
Medina County, there are currently eight of these establishments. Our inspections
look at the overall sanitation of the facilities to assure compliance
with the state code requirements. The inspection criteria include:
operator certification in tattoo and body piercing procedures, first
aid, and universal procedures for blood borne pathogens; maintaining
overall sanitation of work areas and equipment; maintaining proper
operation of sterilization equipment; maintaining records of sterilizer
tests and of patrons; having established procedures for tattoo and body
piercing aftercare, employee health, equipment use, and contingencies
for equipment failure.
All of our inspection records are public records and are available to the public during our regular business hours. Although walk-in requests are welcomed, if possible, it is best to call first to see if an inspector for the tattoo & body piercing establishment program is available to help answer any questions that may arise during review of the records.
