Tattoo Studio Business Registration Thailand

Tattoo Studio License in Thailand with SiamConsult

Planning to open a tattoo shop or offer body art services in Thailand?
You’ll need a valid Tattoo Studio License — legally required to protect both the artist and the client.

The Thai Ministry of Public Health regulates this license and often coordinates with municipal authorities. It ensures your studio meets strict standards for hygiene, waste disposal, sterilization, and staff safety. Artist certification and bloodborne pathogen training are increasingly required in tourist and urban areas.

Tattoo Studio Business Registration Thailand – Your Step-by-Step Guide

Opening a Tattoo Studio business in Thailand can be exciting and profitable, but you must follow strict local regulations to operate legally.
With SiamConsult, the process is clear, safe, and expat-friendly—even if you are new to Thai health and business bureaucracy.

Step 1: Business Structure & Legal Requirements

Choose the right business structure to ensure legal protection and smooth setup:
