Section 1200-23-03-.07 - LICENSE AND PERMIT FEES(1) As written, the law uses the terms "license" and "permit" interchangeably. For example, the law refers to the tattoo artist as being issued a license, but further refers to the tattoo artist as having to pass an examination to receive a permit. Consequently, the Department of Health has determined that individuals shall be issued licenses and that a tattoo operation shall be issued a permit.(2) License Fees (a) A Tattoo Artist and an Apprentice Artist shall be assessed an initial licensing fee and a renewal licensing fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) each.(b) A Tattoo Operator shall have an initial license fee and an annual renewal license fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) each.(c) A late penalty fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be assessed on all artist license renewal applications which are postmarked after January 31st of each permitting year.(d) A Temporary Artist shall pay a temporary artist license fee of fifty dollars ($50.00).(3) Permit Fees (a) A Tattoo establishment shall be assessed an initial fee and a renewal permit fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) each.(b) A Temporary tattoo establishment shall be assessed a temporary permit fee of fifty dollars ($50.00).Tenn.
