ID Requirements 

  • All adult clients must present valid state or government issued Photographic ID prior for each piercing or other services.

  • Minors being pierced must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian and both minor and parent or guardian must have official state or federal government photo ID (passport, drivers license, drivers permit, state issued ID card), or student ID with matching last names or address, or one of the following documents. We also accept birth certificate, or other official documentation such as adoption, guardianship, custody agreement paperwork, or some official government document that specifically shows the custodial relationship between the adult and the minor that they are signing for. We cannot accept insurance cards or social security cards as proof of custody. If the minor's ID is not state issued, address and/or last names do not match then additional documents listed above will be required in conjunction. If you have questions please contact us and we can try and figure out your particular situation so you can avoid the disappointment of making the trip only to find out we are unable to perform piercing services due to these requires.

Piercing Minors

  • Piercing minors is at the discretion of the piercer on duty, generally we will provide most basic piercings to clients 15 and older. More complicated piercings that are particularly difficult to heal or with other significant scaring risks such as cheeks, high nostrils, surface piercings/anchors (aka dermals), or more involved ear projects will not be performed on minors.

  • Under no circumstances will nipple or genital piercing be performed on minors regardless of parental consent. MUST BE 18+.

  • We offer earlobe piercings on children 6 and older. We STRONGLY suggest booking a consultation appointment at least 24 hours prior to booking the actual piercing appointment for children under the age of 12. We have found that this makes for a much happier and smoother experience for parents, our staff, and most importantly our youngest clients. We want to make their first piercing experience wonderful a memory to cherish rather than intimidating or scary. This method of doing a separate consultation appointment prior to the day of getting pierced has worked amazingly for us.

  • Be sure to double check our ID requirements listed above for piercing minors to avoid any confusion on documentation that will be required when piercing anyone under the age of 18.

    • ASTM F-136, ASTM F-67, & ASTM F-1295 Implant Grade Titanium
