Steps to Obtain a Temporary VA Tattoo License

Last updated: April 2026

A.) Fill out the Limited Term Tattooer License Application found HERE. If you are a tattoo studio, fill out the Limited Parlor License HERE.

B.) Make sure your BBP, CPR, and First Aid medical certifications are through one of these APPROVED VENDORS. If your medical certifications are not obtained through one of the approved vendors, the DPOR will consider them invalid and deny your application. We recommend the American Red Cross, as you can get all three certifications through them.

C.) Email your Limited Term Tattooer License Application, your current tattoo license, and medical certifications to: eventcoordinator@richmondtattooconvention.com

D.) This must be received by the Event Coordinator no later than July 14th.
