Permanent Makeup License Requirements By State
Congratulations on your interest in becoming a licensed permanent makeup professional! As we discussed in our post on How to become a Microblading/Permanent Makeup Artist, license requirements are determined by the state in which you want to practice. As such, there is no one specific process to become licensed. Because microblading and permanent makeup are both forms of cosmetic tattoo, they are usually regulated as artistic tattoos. To ensure you have the right information, please check your state’s requirements in the following list.
Some states regulate permanent makeup statewide, and others leave it up to counties and cities. We have tried to be as thorough as possible, but be sure to double check the information.
Please note: It is very difficult to find concrete information for all states, counties and cities and we have tried our best to have this list be as accurate as possible, but we do not warrant the accuracy and status of regulations and statutes.
