Which of the following services is considered unregulated?

Body art is considered unregulated in many jurisdictions, including Minnesota, because it typically does not fall under the licensing requirements associated with more traditional cosmetology services. While body art includes practices such as tattooing and piercing, these activities often have different regulatory frameworks compared to services that are more frequently associated with health and safety regulations, like permanent hair removal, injectables, or tanning services that utilize UV radiation.

In contrast, permanent hair removal, injectables, and tanning by UV radiation are connected to specific health and safety standards and often require licenses or certifications to ensure that practitioners are trained and practice safely. Regulatory oversight for these services helps protect public health and ensures that practitioners follow specific procedures and hygiene practices. Body art, while still requiring some form of regulation to maintain safety standards, is less governed under the same stringent requirements, which is why it is identified as unregulated in this context.
