Tattooing, piercing and electrolysis
Anyone carrying out the following skin-piercing activities must be registered with Crawley Borough Council:
- tattooing
- ear piercing
- cosmetic piercing
- electrolysis
- semi-permanent skin colouring
- acupuncture
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.
