Skin piercing registration
Skin Piercing Businesses (for example, acupuncture, ear-piercing, body piercing, electrolysis and tattooing) are required to be registered with us. The registration applies to an individual to operate within the South Cambridgeshire District Council area and lasts for as long as they operate within the district.
All premises must be inspected by an authorised officer prior to the grant of any registration.
