Official sources (NYC)

Regulations can change. For the most current requirements, rely on official agency pages and primary documentation. This page lists the types of sources to consult and how to use them effectively.

Source types to prioritize

• NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) guidance
• NYC licensing and permit documentation relevant to body art services
• New York State public health regulations and references
• Inspection, sanitation, and infection control standards published by official agencies

How to use official sources

• Save the URL and date accessed for your records.
• Look for definitions sections and “who this applies to” language.
• When unclear, contact the agency for confirmation.
