The main focus of Lake County General Health District’s Body Art program is to prevent the spread of communicable diseases, such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and staph infections. Public health sanitarians inspect and license body art establishments to ensure safe and sanitary conditions are being maintained. Body art establishments include businesses that offer tattoos, piercings, permanent makeup/cosmetics, and microblading. It is important for anyone considering a tattoo or piercing to understand the health risks involved and to follow recommended guidelines when choosing a body art establishment.
