- Category: Minors
- Date:
- State: Texas
Answer:
In Texas, the minimum age to apply for a tattoo studio or body piercing studio license is eighteen years. The law states that the department may refuse to issue a license if the applicant is a minor (Texas Health & Safety Code § 146.0041).
Additionally, the department can refuse to issue or renew a license for several reasons, including if the applicant has been convicted of certain violations related to tattooing or body piercing, has outstanding debts to the state, or has not provided an adequate facility for the business.
