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.
Nebraska legislation, LB169, would tax tattooing services, raising costs for artists and clients.
If passed, LB169 would add sales tax to tattoo services, making tattoos more expensive and pushing clients away. Fewer bookings mean lost income and struggling shops.
Higher prices will drive clients to unlicensed, unsafe tattooing, hurting legitimate artists and risking public health. Small tattoo shops already face rising costs—this tax could force many to shut down.
This unfair tax threatens your business and the industry—here’s how to stop it!
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS THURSDAY, MARCH 13TH!
