Renew a tattoo master licence

Introduction

A tattoo master licence allows you to carry on a body art tattooing business in NSW.

The NSW Police Force Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) will email or post you a renewal form about 60 days before your licence expiry date. 

You should lodge your renewal application to SLED via post on or before your licence expires.
