Tattoo and Piercing Studio Health Audit Checklist

Running a compliant tattoo or piercing studio means staying on top of rigorous health and safety standards—from sterilization protocols to artist certifications. This Tattoo and Piercing Studio Health Audit Checklist gives studio owners, managers and compliance officers a structured way to document every critical area during routine inspections or pre-opening audits.

Built with Paperform, this template walks you through sterilization equipment testing (autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners and spore test logs), single-use supply compliance, sharps container protocols, client consent workflows and artist certification verification. Conditional logic adapts the checklist based on your studio setup, and you can attach photos of equipment, upload test results and capture digital signatures from the auditor and studio manager—all in one form.

Once submitted, use Stepper to trigger follow-up actions automatically: flag non-conformities, assign corrective tasks to your team, update your compliance tracker in Airtable or Google Sheets, and send summary reports to your health department liaison or insurance provider. That means fewer clipboards, faster audits and a clear digital trail when inspectors come calling.

Whether you're preparing for a health department inspection, onboarding a new artist or running monthly internal audits, this template helps you maintain the gold standard of hygiene and compliance—so you can focus on creating great art in a safe, professional environment.
