Alliance of Professional Tattooists, Inc.

WHAT WE DO NOT DO:

THE APT IS A MEMBERSHIP DRIVEN PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE WHICH IS FOCUSED ON HEALTH, SAFETY, PROMOTION AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE ART OF TATTOOING.

OUR ORIGINS

The concept of the APT was introduced in 1991 when a group of like-minded tattooists recognized a need to address health and safety issues within tattooing. APT gained nonprofit status in May of 1992.

The APT is devoted to uniting professional tattooists and educating all stakeholders on tattoo safety standards and best practices.

We are a member driven organization which is only as strong as the people in it.

The APT does not police tattooists or the tattoo trade
