All tattooists need to be registered and should have a copy of their Registration Certificate and the byelaws on display in their premises.

If you want a tattoo done in Charnwood then please make sure that you use a registered tattooist (detailed below). Also, if you are aware of anyone who is tattooing as a business, but is not registered then please contact Environmental Health to let them know.

Tattoo hygiene rating scheme

In 2014, officers visited all registered tattooists to assess their compliance with the CIEH Tattooing and Body Piercing Guidance Toolkit, and those tattooists who wanted to participate in the voluntary Tattoo Hygiene Rating Scheme (THRS) were awarded a tattoo hygiene rating on a scale of 1-4.

  • Rating level 1 - Needs Improvement
  • Rating level 2 - Satisfactory
  • Rating level 3 - Good
  • Rating level 4 - Very Good

For a list of all tattooists participating in the Tattoo Hygiene Rating Scheme, visit the Tattoo Hygiene Rating website.
