What the law requires of a Dutch tattoo studio

NVWA · 25 GGD regions · LCHV · RIVM

Tattoo studios in the Netherlands operate under the Warenwetbesluit on tattooing and piercing (Stb. 2007, 114; BWBR0021605, in force since 1 June 2007). Every studio needs a three-year permit from the GGD mandated by the Ministry of VWS. NEN-EN 17169:2020 has been the designated safety code since 1 May 2022 (Stcrt. 2022, 4132). The LCHV hygiene guideline for tattooing is the operational reference document; RIVM publishes the explanatory notes on NEN-EN 17169. The NVWA exercises national supervision on inks and colorants under REACH Annex XVII Entry 75 (EU Regulation 2020/2081). NVWA supervision reports for 2024 indicate that roughly half of unannounced tattoo studio inspections found one or more shortcomings — sterilization documentation is a recurring item.
