Open a new tattoo shop or parlor
Your shop should get varies of certificates and permissions.
First you need a health and safety certtificate, first aid certificate, tiles in the room you will be tattooing in so you can wipe them down, a sharps box that gets taken away every month or arranged time with the local hazards centre. You need a autoclaver and an ultrasonic cleaner sterile needles permission from the local authorities and a risk assesment of the building and further more you need to be a good tattooer this is just a basic to get a tattoo shop .
What Matter Most.
In actual situation, it's not that easy. If you are not an experienced tattoo artist, with an established clientele, and a large amount of expendable cash, you won't be able to do it. This might be a head-on blow, but everything is difficult at the start.
The real start is Yourself.
In order to be successful, you need to be a licensed artist, who has a strong client base. You need to have a reputation worthy of following. Not only for the clients, but for potential shop artists. If you're a nobody who knows nothing about tattooing, no one will work for you. Not even the bad, self-taught artists who are trying to break into the profession will work for you.
It's a lot more than contacting your local health department and hiring artists. The health department would never grant a body mod permit for someone who isn't a licensed artist themselves. You're living in a dream world, and you answered your own question when you said, I have no idea what to do. Sorry to be so harsh, but, it's in your best interest to just give up that dream.
