Skin piercing and tattooing registration

Practitioners offering any of the following treatments in the Sevenoaks District need to be registered. Both the practitioner and the premises they work from must be registered with separate application forms for each.

  • Acupuncture
  • Electrolysis
  • Ear and nose piercing
  • Cosmetic body piercing
  • Tattooing
  • Semi-permanent skin colouring (micropigmentation, microblading and temporary tattooing)

Other skin-piercing activities, such as Botox, fillers and microneedling, do not currently require registration.

If you operate outside the Sevenoaks District, you should contact the relevant council for advice.
