Our mission is simple. The Coalition for Tattoo Safety’s purpose is to bring the tattooing industry together under a unified voice to effectively establish common sense Industry guidelines from manufacturing to end consumer. Our organization pull from five decades of experience self regulating and years of in-house and private laboratory testing of raw materials, chemical analysis, manufacturing best practice, and constant real-time artist and consumer feedback.

Tattooing as an art form has existed for centuries. The industry has been primarily self-regulated since it’s creation. However, in recent years the regulatory landscape has changed in Europe and increasingly in the United States. These regulatory changes have necessitated the unification of our industry and the creation of the Coalition for Tattoo Safety.
