Businesses in the Suffolk Coastal district wishing to carry out
any of the following practices must first be registered with the
Council:
- Tattooing.
- Cosmetic-piercing (including ear-piercing).
- Electrolysis.
- Acupuncture.
Both the person carrying out the activity and the premises used
must be registered unless being carried out by a registered medical
practitioner such as a doctor. Applicants must supply the Council
with information on how the practices will be carried out
hygienically and safely. When this information has been provided
and an officer has inspected the premises, the relevant
certificates of registration may be issued.
Any person carrying out any of these activities without being
registered may be prosecuted by the Council.
