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. 

WHAT WE DO:

  • Advocate for tattooists and the tattoo trade with regard to regulation and legislation
  • Assist the public, tattooists, legislators and regulatory agencies by providing accurate, up-to-date health and safety information regarding tattooing
  • Provide a professional association for tattoo artists
  • Offer two bloodborne pathogens training course options, "Prevention of Disease Transmission in Tattooing - PDTT" and an online refresher course

WHAT WE DO NOT DO:

  • The APT does not write legislation or regulations
  • The APT does not police tattooists or the tattoo trade
  • The APT does not license or certify tattooists
  • The APT does not dictate tattooing techniques or aftercare procedures
  • The APT does not involve in issues related to piercing, branding, scarification, micro-blading or other body modifications
