Tattoo and Body Art
Body art is the practice of physical body adornment by establishments or artists utilizing, but not limited to, theĀ
techniques of body piercing, tattooing, branding, sculpting, and scarification. This does not include practices conducted under the supervision of a physician licensed to practice medicine under Colorado law nor piercing of the outer perimeter or lobe of the ear by means of sterilized stud-and-clasp ear piercing systems.
The Pueblo City-County Health Department conducts routine inspections of body art facilities in Pueblo to ensure the safe and sanitary practice of body art, the safe and sanitary physical environment where body art is performed, and the safe and sanitary conditions of equipment utilized in body art procedures.
An inspection fee of $126 is assessed annually. Complaint inspections are billed at an hourly rate of $42.
