What Artists and Owners Need to Know

 1. Body art procedures in the state of Michigan can not be performed with numbing medicine of any kind without a prescription from a doctor (even if applied by the client)

2. Your clients can get evaluated for prescriptions easily via StudioMeds.com

3. Artists are required to maintain documentation of the prescription for all sessions according to the health department

4. Clients can purchase the numbing agents (Bactine Max spray and Preparation H) over the counter without visiting a pharmacy. The regulation only requires a prescription from a doctor not the medication come from a pharmacy.

5. Using numbing agents without an evaluation and prescription or documentation of prescription can put your facility license at risk
