Yes! For piercing anyone under the age of 18, we require a parent present at the appointment and proper identification for both the parent and the minor. This includes either a driver’s license, state identification card, birth certificate, or passport. Please keep in mind, the ID’s for parent and minor MUST have matching last names or other info that will legally link guardian to minor. The minimum age requirement is 6 for earlobe and 13 for cartilage.

Refunds on services already rendered can not be refunded. Remember, your piercer deserves to be paid for their time!

All of our jewelry is either 14k gold or medical implant grade titanium. Our jewelry is hypoallergenic and designed to go into the body. There is no nickel or cadmium in our pieces.

We use flat back labrets for all of our earring backs. They are comfortable to sleep in, and help heal more efficiently.
