Permanent Cosmetic Artists are required to have knowledge of and practice aseptic technique, which prevents or hinders the transmission of disease producing microorganisms from one person or place to another person or place. The Establishment where the application of permanent cosmetics is performed must be certified and inspected by the Department of Health. Requirements: 1) Must file an application for permanent cosmetic artist certification with the Department. 2) Must complete a blood borne pathogens course (an OSHA approved online course may be used) prior to applying for the exam. 3) Must complete a minimum 6–24-month Artist in Training program, with a minimum of 400 clock hours in a licensed Permanent Cosmetic Institution approved by the Board of Health, under a licensed Permanent Cosmetic Instructor. 4) Must successfully complete a written and practical exam. 5) Must provide the following additional information to the Department at the time of the written exam: a) A copy of high school diploma or equivalent.
