Body art is a growing practice across the US – with new shops, new procedures, new equipment (jewelry and inks) becoming available. Building or growing a sound regulatory program around this ever-evolving topic can be a challenge!

New resources include inspector training, policy statements, and other inspector-focused resources.

What? A 30-minute informal webinar program to address special happenings in the EH Field as well as to highlight programs and skills that interest EH professionals.
