ID Requirements

All piercing clients are required to have a valid government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, military ID or passport).

Piercing clients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and provide all of the following:

  • Birth certificate for the minor (in the case of legal guardianship, the court guardianship document is also required).

  • Valid photo ID for the minor (i.e., driver’s license/permit, state ID, military ID, passport or student ID).

  • Valid government-issued photo ID for the parent/guardian (i.e., driver's license, military ID or passport).

For piercing clients under 18 who do not have a valid photo ID, we suggest getting a non-driver state identification card. The process is simple; more information can be found at the following links:

All identification documents must be original; no photocopies accepted in person. There are no exceptions to the ID policy. If you have any questions concerning the ID policy, call the studio prior to booking your visit.
