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 Crawley 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.
