NO.

However, let's get this straight. There is no Canadian licensing body that licenses the tattoo artist or certifies him/her to be able to tattoo. There is a school in Toronto, but it is not accredited to my knowledge.

The tattoo artists' SHOP must be licensed. This process involves having Health Canada inspect the tattoo shop at least once a year to ensure that they are following Canada guidelines in health and safety (ensuring that the environment is clean, equipment is properly stored, used and sterilized where appropriate; ensure that the proper disinfectants are being used etc...

People are quickly mixing up "licensed studio" with a "tattoo license or certification" which are two completely different things.

Your shop has to be licensed, but the artist does not.
