Where can you get a piercing license in Montana?

Answer 1

Well first you need to have training in the art of body piercing, this isn't some over the internet course, it needs to be verifiable training that can be confirmed and it should be under the supervision of a licensed and experienced professional body piercer. Once you have the required experience and actual hands on practice doing piercing, you need to apply for a business license through your city hall business licensing department.

They will provide you with a list of requirements that need to be met in order to be able to apply for a license (this application will also include an application for a health inspection ). If you complete the application and meet the requirements you will then need to pass the health inspection (this is the most difficult part of the license process and the inspector will test you on various aspects of your profession so you better really know your stuff).

If you pass his/her inspection the city will issue you a business license. Now you need to know that you will need to have a location to work from (most city business licenses for body piercing can not be issued to work from your home). The location must pass building code requirements, zoning requirements and health inspection requirements. There is much more to body piercing that just poking holes. You may (most place now require it) be required to have first aid certification and CPR level C as well as Blood Borne pathogens training as well as your vaccinations for Tetanus and Hepatitis.
