Is Your Permanent Cosmetics Provider is Licensed?
Your face and health are at risk for infections and transmission of blood-borne pathogens when undergoing any Permanent Cosmetics or Paramedical procedure. That’s why Permanent Cosmetic Professionals must follow the most stringent health and safety regulations and be licensed by the County Health Department to perform tattooing. Make sure your Permanent Cosmetic Professional holds their licensure and has met all required health and safety standards before you get any procedure.
