Austin is known as a hub for creativity, and the tattoo scene here is one of the best in the country. But whether you are working out of a shop on South Congress, East 6th, or up north near the Domain, every artist falls under the jurisdiction of Austin Public Health and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).

If you are new to the city or just coming up on your annual renewal, the paperwork can be confusing. The most critical piece of the puzzle—and the one that trips up the most artists—is the Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Certification.

The “Austin Standard” for Safety

Austin Public Health is strict about infection control. To get your Body Art Practitioner Registration, you must prove that you have completed an OSHA-compliant training course within the last 12 months.

They don’t just want a generic “medical” certificate. They want to know that you understand the specific risks inside a tattoo studio, including:

• Sharps Safety: proper disposal of tattoo needles and microblading blades.

• Cross-Contamination: preventing ink cap and spray bottle contamination.

• Station Sanitation: using EPA-registered disinfectants correctly.
