Acupuncture, tattooist and ear piercing licence
The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 Part VIII requires that the following types of skin piercing need to be registered with the Council:
- Acupuncture.
- Tattooing.
- Ear-piercing.
- Electrolysis.
- Semi-permanent make up.
The Act requires registration to cover both the person carrying on the practice and the premises used for that purpose. There are no powers to refuse registration, but the practice is controlled through compliance with bylaws in each case.
Before any of these activites are commenced, the person that will be carrying out the treatment, and the premises that will be used, must be registered with the Council, and the relevant bylaws complied with.
