The Registration Process
Registration is required for the person carrying out the skin piercing activity and the premises where the activity is to take place. A person registered with Exeter City Council to carry out one or more particular skin piercing activities may do so only at premises within Exeter that are also registered for those activities; however, a registered skin piercer is allowed to make occasional visits to the home of a client to carry out those activities at their request.
