Did you know that in Michigan all body art, tattooing and piercing procedures must be done in a licensed facility? Getting your body art done at a licensed and inspected facility decreases the risk of transmission of bloodborne diseases such as hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). For more information on body art, a listing of licensed facilities and procedures to obtain a license please visit www.michigan.gov/bodyart. For additional information about obtaining a license call the Lenawee County Health Department, Environmental Health Division, at 517-264-5221.
