The Annual Renewal Requirement in Washington
In Washington, your Washington State Tattoo Artist Bloodborne Pathogens Training must be renewed every 12 months. Per WAC 308-22-040, staying current on your BBP certification is a prerequisite for maintaining your professional license.
If you are currently browsing Indeed for Tattoo Jobs in Seattle or Tacoma, you’ll find that shop owners will ask for your certificate expiration date before you even start a guest spot.
What Washington Inspectors Look For:
OSHA Compliance: Does the course follow 29 C.F.R. 1910.1030? (ACE does!)
Exposure Control: Do you know the specific steps for a needlestick in a studio environment?
Proper Labeling: Are your waste containers correctly marked with the international biohazard symbol?
