Skin Piercing Activities

Certain skin piercing activities need to be registered with the Local Authority. There are hazards associated with these activities so it is essential that treatments are carried out in safe and hygienic conditions. The current legislation allows this Local Authority to register the following treatments:

  • Acupuncture
  • Cosmetic Piercing
  • Electrolysis
  • Micropigmentation/Semi-permanent make-up
  • Tattooing
  • Microblading/Nanoblading

Two registrations are required. The premises offering any of the above treatments and each person (operator) who carries out a treatment must also be registered.

Registration process

Please note:

We do not have Special Treatment Licensing within Hertsmere. Currently we can only register the skin piercing treatments listed.
