The Standards for Tattoo and Body Piercing (January 2025) explicitly cover semi-permanent tattoo services and name semi-permanent artist as a regulated practitioner role. Semi-permanent makeup is classified as tattoo work under the Control of Tattooing Act (Chapter 270 of the Laws of Malta) — the same hygiene, sterilisation, and licensing obligations apply.
Semi-permanent makeup — including microblading, semi-permanent eyebrows, eyeliner, lip blush, and scalp micropigmentation — is regulated as tattoo work in Malta. The Standards for Tattoo and Body Piercing (January 2025) explicitly covers semi-permanent tattoo services; the consent-form template names semi-permanent artist as a regulated practitioner role alongside tattoo artist and body piercer. The Control of Tattooing Act (Chapter 270 of the Laws of Malta) restricts possession of tattooing instruments to authorised practitioners and prohibits semi-permanent tattooing on persons under 18. Studios must licence through HCSD and observe the same partition rule (≥2m × 2m impervious opaque material), single-use sterile cartridge / needle / microblade rule, and pigment compliance under EU REACH Annex XVII Entry 75 (Pigment Blue 15:3 and Pigment Green 7 banned since 4 January 2023) as full body tattoo studios.
