Tattooing, piercing and electrolysis
If you wish to carry out any of the following services, both you and the premises you are operating within need to be registered with ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council. This is a requirement under The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982:
- acupuncture
- tattooing
- cosmetic piercing
- electrolysis
- semi-permanent skin colouring
- microblading
The aim of registering skin-piercing activities is to protect members of the public from the transmission of blood-borne viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C and other infections.
Both the person performing the treatment and the premises must be registered.
