Important Notice Regarding Essential Services:
The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification has been in contact with New Hampshire Business and Economic Affairs (BEA) to determine if services provided by Body Art Practitioners are considered essential services. Currently, services provided by Body Art Practitioners are not essential services. Please see Executive Order #17 for requirements and restrictions that may apply.
As noted in Exhibit A to Executive Order 17 , retailers who are not otherwise deemed essential on this list may transition to curbside pick-up or delivery only for orders taken online, by phone, or by other remote means. The following restrictions apply:
The Executive Director of the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification establishes standards of practice and promulgates rules to regulate Body Art Practitioners. Public hearings, disciplinary hearings, informal conferences and meetings are held as necessary. Licensees are disciplined and administrative fines are issued for licensure violations.
The Board office is no longer printing wall certificates or pocket card licenses. You will now receive an email with your license attached as a PDF, which you can save and print. If you have submitted an application to the Board and have not received anything in the regular mail, please check to see if you have received an email from NH.Licenses@doit.nh.gov. Please allow two weeks for processing.
You may now submit initial and renewal applications online.
The Board of Body Art Practitioners has requested legislation for a microblading certificate. You can search for HB1416 on the General Court website. Please contact the office with any questions.
