Description
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is seeking information related to the tattooing profession, specifically for a prospective vocation/trade for inmates to learn while incarcerated, as well as the possibility to offer tattoos as a service to cover-up marks and/or scars which symbolize prior victimization of some of the incarcerated individuals. The department is looking for feedback from firms with expertise in tattoo apprenticeships, including information on industry standards, apprentice qualifications, and cost structures.
• The RFI includes a questionnaire with questions on tattoo apprenticeship standards, qualifications, and experience.
• The department is seeking information on certifications, inspections, and requirements for tattoo shops.
• The RFI also asks about the cost structure for services, including hourly compensation and value-add services.
