    Stricter than the state on the consent form. Denver's body art rules require every client consent form to include the "Sterilization date or package/lot number used during the procedure" and the "Source/manufacturer and lot number of ink, pigment or dyes if any are used in procedure" (Rules and Regulations for Body Artist, Body Art Establishments, and Mobile Body Art Vehicles, § 5.C). The state's consent form rule, 6 CCR 1010-22 § 4-403, asks for neither. The department's Public Health Investigations division inspects, and Denver's Department of Excise and Licenses issues the body artist and establishment licenses. The source
