Permanent makeup in Ireland falls into the same regulatory gap as tattooing — no specific legislation, no licensing, no inspections. But dermopigmentation involves skin penetration, and clients expect documented sterilisation.
Permanent makeup (micropigmentation/dermopigmentation) in Ireland is unregulated. There is no licensing requirement, no mandatory registration, and no routine inspections. The 2018 Bill that proposed regulation of tattooing and piercing would have covered permanent makeup, but it lapsed without being enacted. Practitioners who sterilise dermograph handpieces and microblading holders and maintain documented records operate above the minimum — and that documentation is your strongest proof of professional standards.
No specific legislation. I.S. EN 17169:2020 provides best-practice guidance.
