What is Bloodborne Pathogens Certification for Tattoo Artists?

The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens (29 CFR 1910.1030) standard requires all employees exposed to blood or potentially infectious materials to complete specific training. Tattoo artists, body modification practitioners, permanent cosmetic artists and others face unique risks. For this reason many states mandate extra BBP training that covers these specifics. This certification ensures you understand:

  • Common bloodborne pathogens (HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C) 
  • Exposure control procedures (PPE, sharps, hierarchy of controls) 
  • Proper handling and disposal of biohazardous materials 
  • Emergency response and post-exposure procedures
  • Tattoo and piercing specific infections and dangers
  • Safe disposal or bio-hazardous waste in a tattoo studio
  • Disinfection and use of Autoclave equipment

This online Bloodborne Pathogens Training for tattoo artists is designed to deliver the exact content required by OSHA 1910.1030 and most US states — and helps you pass with confidence.

Several other countries follow the OSHA BBP standard for tattooing, for example, New Zealand and South Africa, and in countries that have no specific requirement many artists do still benefit from undergoing the training. Our focus is on providing bloodborne pathogen training for tattoo artists, piercers and microbladers in the United States in line with OSHA standards. If you live outside the US you are welcome to take the course however you should check your local rules and regulations thoroughly beforehand.

We now provide a full US letter size bloodborne pathogens certificate for tattoo artists which is suitable for framing and display in your tattoo studio, cosmetic tattoo clinic or any other workplace to prove your OSHA bloodborne pathogen certification status.

The OSHA rule is that all INDIVIDUALS must be bloodborne pathogen certified. You can enter anything you want in the name fields at checkout, but this does not make your studio ‘certified’. In many cases studios do want to display a certificate with a studio name in addition to individual artists certificates to make customers feel more comfortable – in this scenario an additional certificate for the studio name can be purchased under a different email and account.

Yes, our courses are designed with a ‘mobile first’ approach and work perfectly on any device. We also use file compression and a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver a lighting fast experience on any internet or data connection.

Yes. The Body art professional course is suitable for bloodborne pathogens certification for microblading artists and permanent cosmetic artists.

The certification expires one year after issue. This is a requirement under the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.

When your bloodborne pathogen certificate for tattoo artist is close to expiry, you will automatically receive a discount code to recertify at 15% discount.


No, sorry. Our bloodborne pathogen training for tattoo artists is accepted in all other states. Florida has some unique and onerous requirements so you will need to seek training from a local provider.
