ACE online OSHA bloodborne pathogens training course for tattoo artists and body piercers

Oregon tattoo license is essential for workplace safety and compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030. ACE Bloodborne Pathogens Training brings over 10 years of safety experience to the body art industry, ensuring that practitioners in Portland, Salem, and throughout the state meet the rigorous standards set by the Oregon Health Licensing Office (HLO).

Oregon tattoo license Requirements

The Oregon Health Licensing Office (HLO) mandates that all body art practitioners—including tattoo artists and permanent makeup professionals—maintain current certification in infection control and bloodborne pathogens. Under the 2025 Senate Bill 217, the state has further streamlined regulatory oversight for cosmetologists and body art professionals, but the core requirement for OSHA-standard safety remains absolute.

Oregon operates on a self-attestation model for initial applications and renewals. While practitioners attest to having completed the required training, the HLO enforces a strict 5-year audit record-keeping rule. This means you must maintain physical or digital copies of your BBP certificates for at least five years, as they are subject to review during unannounced shop inspections or administrative audits. Failure to produce an OSHA-compliant certificate from a recognized provider like ACE Training can result in heavy fines or license suspension. Our curriculum specifically addresses the exposure control plans and decontamination protocols required to pass an HLO inspection.

ACE Bloodborne Pathogens Training is a nationally recognized provider of OSHA-compliant safety certifications.
