Minor Piercing Information & Booking
Please read our entire IDENTIFCATION REQUIREMENTS and AGE REQUIREMENTS before booking your Minor Piercing Appointment.
Identification Requirements
Anyone receiving a piercing under the age of 18 must have their parent or legal guardian accompany them for the entire procedure.
A birth certificate for the minor must be provided at the time of appointment, along with a government issued photo ID for the parent parent or legal guardian accompanying the minor. The name of the parent or legal guardian must match the name on the birth certificate.
If the minor is accompanied by a legal guardian and is not listed on the birth certificate, a document providing proof of guardianship must be provided.
Age Requirements
Age 5 minimum for Earlobes at the piercer’s discretion. Due to consent issues we will not pierce babies, you must be able to ask for the piercing yourself.
We typically enforce age 14 and older for all other ear piercings besides the lobe, and 16 and older for all other piercings, but this is case by case.
Why Age Limits for Piercings?
GROWING BODIES. A piercing is an unnatural item in the body and it does not always grow with the body. A septum piercing on a growing 13 year old might not sit properly once they’re 18, causing migration or rejection. It’s important to consider the anatomy case by case and understand the future of the piercing in the body.
MATURITY LEVEL. Piercings can take months to heal and you must follow a strict aftercare routine, including not playing with the piercing, to ensure proper healing. Lack of proper healing can cause irritation and infection. A minor who receives a piercing must be mature enough to handle the aftercare of the piercing. Please read our Piercing Aftercare before booking to see what you’re getting into.

Jewelry
We only use internally-threaded, high-polished titanium body jewelry for your starter jewelry. High quality and properly fitted jewelry is important to healing your piercing without irritation or migration. Your starter jewelry will typically start out longer to accommodate for swelling, and need to replaced with shorter jewelry in the following weeks.
The jewelry type and size you start out with will be based on your anatomy and piercing type. Many piercings cannot be started with a hoop, since the curvature of the ring pulls the edges of the fresh piercing, causing irritation. Your piercer will show you what jewelry will meet your needs before your piercing service.
We do offer consultation and curation services to help you envision your new and healed piercing setup. Discussing your end goals for your piercings with your piercer before the procedure will help you achieve those goals.
