Tattoo and body piercing establishments and artists in Pierre will now pay their local licensing fees and state inspection fees all at once.
The change was approved during this week’s (Jan. 25, 2022) City Commission meeting.
City Finance Director Twila Hight says there is no change to the cost of operating a tattoo or body piercing business in Pierre.
She says the change streamlines the administrative process for these licenses and inspections.
In 2021, Pierre issued four tattoo establishment licenses. An annual establishment license is $250; an annual artist license is $50. New license fees are required prior to opening. Renewal fees are billed the beginning of each year.
The change is effective immediately.
