Tattooists and tattoo parlors are not regulated by State government in Minnesota.

Tattooists may be regulated by city or county agencies. Please check with your city or county agency to determine whether they have regulations to license tattooists or tattoo parlors.

However, since of August 1, 1996, Minnesota Law does require the following regarding the tattooing of minors.

 

Minnesota Statute §609.2246, Sec. 25. [TATTOOS; MINORS.]
Subdivision 1. [Requirements.] No person under the age of 18 may receive a tattoo unless the person provides written parental consent to the tattoo. The consent must include both the custodial and noncustodial parents, where applicable.
Subdivision 2. [Definition.] For the purposes of this section, "tattoo" means an indelible mark or figure fixed on the body by insertion of pigment under the skin or by production of scars.
Subdivision 3. [Penalty.] A person who provides a tattoo to a minor in violation of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Local law enforcement should be contacted regarding alleged violations of this law.
