-Registration - tattooists, piercing and electrolysis

The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 requires the following types of skin piercing need be registered with the Council:- Acupuncture, Tattooing, Ear-piercing and Electrolysis. The Act requires registration to cover both the person carrying on the practise and the premises used for that purpose. There are no powers to refuse registration but the practise is controlled through compliance with byelaws in each case. It is illegal to conduct ear piercing, tattooing, acupuncture or electrolysis unless the registration has been formally approved.
