Microblading Bloodborne Pathogens Training – If you’re a microblading artist, permanent makeup (PMU) professional, or perform any form of cosmetic tattooing, understanding bloodborne pathogens (BBP) isn’t just a good idea—it’s a legal requirement for your license in most states.
Your Quick Guide to BBP for PMU
Q: Do microblading artists need Bloodborne Pathogens training? A: Yes! Any procedure that breaks the skin barrier, including microblading, permanent eyeliner, lip blushing, or scalp micropigmentation, requires annual OSHA-compliant Bloodborne Pathogens training to comply with health department regulations.
Q: Where can I get compliant PMU BBP training? A: ACE Bloodborne Pathogens Training offers a 100% online, video-based course designed for cosmetic tattoo professionals. It’s affordable, instant, and meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 standards.
Why BBP Training is Non-Negotiable for PMU & Microblading
Health departments categorize microblading, permanent makeup, and other cosmetic tattooing as “body art” due to the risk of exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). This means you need to:
Understand Risks: Know how HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C are transmitted.
Prevent Exposure: Implement universal precautions, proper sanitation, and sharps safety.
Maintain Licensing: Keep an up-to-date BBP certificate in your studio’s file for health inspections.
What Makes ACE Training Ideal for PMU Professionals?
Our course focuses on the real-world applications within a cosmetic tattooing studio. We cover:
Client Safety Protocols: Minimizing cross-contamination risks.
Sharps Handling: Safe disposal of microblades and needles.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Proper use of gloves, masks, and other barriers.
Many generic BBP courses are designed for hospitals or dentists. Ours is tailored to your specific tools and procedures, making it relevant and easy to understand.
State-Specific Requirements for PMU Artists
While OSHA provides the federal standard for Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) training, many states have additional requirements for the cosmetic tattoo industry. For example:
Texas: Artists must maintain a BBP certificate to comply with DSHS studio licensing.
California: Under the Safe Body Art Act, PMU artists must complete a county-approved BBP course.
Florida: The Department of Health requires a specific BBP course for all tattoo and permanent makeup licenses.
Our course is designed to meet the rigorous OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 standard, ensuring that your certification is recognized by inspectors from Austin to Miami. Staying compliant protects your business from heavy fines and, more importantly, protects the health of your clients.
