Q: How old do I have to be to get facial/body piercings?

The youngest we do facial and body piercings on is 14 years old. To do so, we require a notarized minor consent form and the guardian who signs the form must be present with ID. (This excludes nipple and genital piercings, which are strictly 18+!)

Q: What is the youngest you pierce ears on?

Q: Where can I get a minor consent form?

You can get a minor consent form at the shop or from our website. Rayne is a notary who can notarize minor consent forms on days she is working at the shop. She will charge $15 CASH ONLY. Clients may still also go to a UPS, post office, library if needed.
