Tattoo and Body Piercing Program
Return to Environmental Health
The State of Illinois requires all establishments providing body art services such as tattooing, piercing, branding or
scarification to be registered with the Department. Upon receipt of a completed application, an inspection
is conducted to monitor compliance with the program. Renewal inspections are conducted annually or more often if
warranted. Local Health Departments may contract with the Department to conduct the inspections in their jurisdiction.
Grundy County has an ordinance that addresses tattooing and body piercing and conducts the regulatory inspections for
the State of Illinois. (Ear piercing is exempt from regulation).
