Tattoo and body-piercing studios in Henderson need a city business license plus a Southern Nevada Health District body-art permit, with sterilization standards, age verification, and inspections to prevent bloodborne disease transmission.
SNHD regulates body-art establishments under Nevada health codes, requiring autoclave sterilization, single-use needles, and trained operators. Henderson adds a business license layer through HMC Title 5. Customers under 18 require parental consent in person, and tattooing minors under 14 is prohibited entirely. Studios must keep client records, post sterilization certifications, and pass annual SNHD inspections. Mobile or pop-up tattooing at unpermitted locations such as conventions requires special temporary permits. Operating without dual licensing brings closure orders and possible misdemeanor charges.
Operating without SNHD permit or city license, tattooing minors without consent, reusing needles, or failing inspection brings closure orders, license revocation, and misdemeanor citation.
