Ethics & California LawQuestion 133 of 484

Microblading and other permanent makeup (cosmetic tattooing) procedures in California require:

a.A separate body art / tattoo registration with the local health department (NOT a BBC license)
b.Only a cosmetology license
c.Only an esthetician license
d.No regulation at all

Explanation

Permanent makeup procedures penetrate the skin and are regulated under California's Safe Body Art Act by local health departments — not by the BBC. A BBC license alone does not authorize microblading.
