Iowa Legislative Code 641
641–
22.3(5) Tattooing shall be practiced only in facilities that have received a tattoo establishment permit from the department.

22.3(6)
Tattooing shall not be practiced in a residential dwelling, inclusive of an attached garage, pursuant to local zoning codes. Beginning January 1, 2010, all new tattoo establishments must be in a building that is zoned commercial. A waiver shall be granted to any tattoo establishment which is in a residential dwelling and which has been granted a permit prior to January 1, 2010.

Just saying… if you give a tattoo in a home, apartment, trailer, basement, garage, etc., that is NOT licensed as a Tattoo Establishment you are committing a serious misdemeanor. Even if YOU have a license. Stop tattooing in basements people, it’s not safe or legal.
