Tattoo parlors and body-piercing studios in Fairfax County must hold a BPOL, employ artists with state certification under VA Code Title 54.1 Chapter 7, and pass health-department inspections for sanitation and bloodborne-pathogen control.
Body-art establishments in Fairfax County must obtain a BPOL and operate only in commercially zoned locations. Artists must be certified under VA Code Title 54.1 Chapter 7 and complete bloodborne-pathogen training. The Fairfax County Health Department, working with the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, inspects studios for sterilization, single-use needles, and proper biohazard disposal. State law bans tattooing minors except with parental consent and a licensed physician on premises. Enforcement combines state and county penalties.
Tattooing minors without consent, operating without certification, or unsanitary practices triggers misdemeanor charges and county license revocation.
