DETAILED INFO

(please note the fees listed below are separate from my course tuition fee, meaning you will be responsible for the fees listed below)

Must complete an approved, online Bloodborne Pathogens Training Course per California State and Contra Costa County laws/regulation

Roughly 2 hours to complete online and will cost you anywhere from $15 to $30

A list of approved courses from the county is attached to this email

Must possess an active Body Art Practitioner License (aka tattoo license) OR a Temporary Body Art Practitioner License per California State and Contra Costa County laws/regulation

Most beginner students do not have an active tattoo license and this is NORMAL! I will guide you through the process of obtaining a temporary license so that you can legally practice on a live model under my supervision during your training. The temporary license will be issued to all artists by the Contra Costa County Health Department. There is no way around this - in order to practice on a live model you have to have either an active license or temporary license. It is the law in California. This will cost you $145. The registration fee is $100 and the application fee is $45. More info here: https://cchealth.org/eh/body-art/pdf/Temporary-Practitioner-Application.pdf
