Built by Industry Pros,
For Industry Pros.
We saw a gap in safety training. Generic healthcare courses don't cut it for the body art industry. So we created a certification tailored specifically to tattoo artists, body piercers, and permanent makeup professionals.
Our Mission & Story
For years, body art professionals in Los Angeles County have been forced to take generic Bloodborne Pathogens courses designed for hospital workers, janitors, and general industry employees.
These courses missed the mark. They didn't cover the nuances of tattoo machine cross-contamination, safe piercing needle disposal, or the specific sterilization environments of a modern body art studio.
BBP 420 Certification was founded to change that.
We partnered with industry veterans and compliance experts to build a curriculum that is 100% focused on the body art industry. We ensure you learn what you actually need to know to protect yourself and your clients, keeping you fully compliant with LA County Department of Public Health requirements.
Our Core Values
We believe safety education shouldn't be a generic checkbox. It should be relevant, accessible, and rigorous.
Uncompromising Safety
We prioritize the health and safety of both practitioners and clients above all else, teaching the highest standards of infection control.
Strict Compliance
We stay up-to-date with local regulations to ensure our certification meets or exceeds the strict requirements of LA County.
Industry Relevance
No fluff, no irrelevant medical scenarios. Every module of our training is directly applicable to the daily realities of a body art studio.
