Solid tattoo portfolio for Villain Arts artist-account approval
Completed apprenticeship for Villain Arts artist-account approval

Current First Aid and CPR training for the temporary artist permit

Hepatitis B vaccination, immunity, medical contraindication or signed declination documentation

Licenses and permits

Check the event rules and the local tattoo requirements.

Georgia DPH publishes a Temporary Body Artist Permit for event work. The permit is valid for up to 7 consecutive days and the application must be submitted to the local health authority at least 10 days before the event. Artists using the temporary route should start with the current DPH application and the Chatham County environmental-health office rather than assuming an out-of-state credential is enough.

Georgia also requires a temporary Body Art Studio permit for conventions and industry trade shows; the studio application must be submitted at least 30 days before the event. In Savannah, Coastal Health District Environmental Health regulates body art locally. Confirm with Villain Arts which studio-level filing is being handled by the organizer and what each artist must submit directly.

Booth approval and legal permission to tattoo are separate. Use the state guide as a starting point, then follow the event-specific regulator or organizer filing above.
