Can I have a pop up tattoo artist?

Short answer is that is that it won't be legally permitted

Last updated on 27 Jun, 2025

The artist won't be able to do it legally.

For prevention of infection, there are a couple requirements: 


1. There's a licensing requirement from the Illinois Department of Public Health, which requires an inspection.  Approval requires a sink (that is not portable) in the work area. (Section 797.1400 f)  There are other sanitation requirements as well that would be difficult to comply with.

2. Carpentersville has a licensing requirement for tattoo artists.  We have never pursued looking into this, given the sanitation requirements above.
