Complain about a tattoo or skin piercing premises or practitioner

You can use this page to raise concerns about a business or person carrying out treatments such as:

• Tattooing including micropigmentation (permanent and semi permanent makeup)
• Cosmetic piercings
• Electrolysis
• Acupuncture (including dry needling)
• any other invasion of the skin (for example, microblading and micro needling)

There are two ways you can raise concerns about a practitioner or business :

• consumer complaint (poor service)
• report a registered practitioner or premises (health concerns)

We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the trader by you, in the form a letter (with proof of delivery).

If that has not worked, you can get advice from Consumer Direct (in the UK) or UK European Consumer Centre (from outside of the UK).

If your complaint is in relation to:

• the way in which a premises is operating
• the way in which a practitioner is operating
• an infection or health related condition caused by a treatment
