Given today’s public health and safety
consciousness, non-regulated states are getting on board to enact at least some primary
legislation in this area. As the industry becomes more regulated nationwide, educational
and training standards will be added to existing laws that focus on health and safety
standards alone.

As the
popularity of Permanent Cosmetics grows, so does the industry. The practice of Permanent
Cosmetics, whether called Derma-Pigmentation, Micro-Pigmentation, Permanent Make-Up or
Cosmetic Tattooing is regulated differently in each state. Some require licensing while
others may only require registration with the local health office. There are states that
have no statutes in effect at all, some that have regulations in only county or city
jurisdictions and others that prohibit it entirely.
