If you offer tattooing, semi-permanent skin colouring, cosmetic piercing, acupuncture or electrolysis in Middlesbrough, you must be registered with Middlesbrough Council’s Public Protection Service. The premises used for cosmetic treatments must also be registered. Once you're registered, you'll be issued with a certificate of registration, which should be displayed at your place of work. Read more about the relevant legislation. View a list of people and premises licensed for cosmetic treatments. |

After receiving your completed application and fee, an officer will contact you to arrange a visit to your premises to ensure they are safe and legal, prior to issuing your registration certificate. You won't be able to open your business or start offering treatments until your registration is confirmed. |
