Glynn County, GA Business Licensing & Operations: Tattoo & Body Modification (2026)

Section 2-21-11 makes it unlawful to operate a body art studio in Glynn County without a valid permit issued pursuant to the Rules and Regulations for Body Art, and separately makes it unlawful for any individual to practice body art procedures in the county without their own valid permit under those same rules, so both the studio and each artist need to be permitted. Section 2-21-3(11) defines the Rules and Regulations for Body Art as the standard the Georgia Department of Public Health adopted effective October 6, 2023, as amended, meaning the county enforces the state health agency's substantive body-art standard rather than writing its own.

Section 2-21-11 also makes it unlawful to operate a body art studio in violation of those Rules and Regulations even after a permit has been issued, so ongoing noncompliance with sanitation, sterilization, or recordkeeping standards remains enforceable after opening day. under Section 2-21-2. 00, up to 60 days in jail, or both, at the judge's discretion.
