The previous petition of the CT Tattooers for Change was a success; we are now the Connecticut Association of Professional Tattooers, Inc. If you are a CT tattoo artist and you signed the last petition, thank you, and congratulations.

By popular demand, we now have a new petition open to everyone.

Current CT State legislation governing tattoo technicians is relatively new and contains vague and irrelevant regulations. It was written by legislators far removed from the intricacies of the tattoo industry. More insightful regulations are required to close loopholes currently being exploited by disreputable individuals who profit with disregard to public welfare. Until now, there has been no official association for the State of Connecticut to consult with on these matters.

By signing this petition, you display your support for the Connecticut Association of Professional Tattooers (CAPT) to represent the interests of the tattoo community to state legislators and health departments.

• We will work to ensure that Connecticut regulation of tattoo technicians reflects the modern concerns and current standards of the tattoo industry.
• The Connecticut Association of Professional Tattooers will provide assurance to tattoo patrons that their tattoos are done by qualified professionals.
• We will help educate the community in the interest of public health and safety.
• By preserving integrity, we will earn respect and maintain a high standard of quality.
