:: Regarding Minors (under the age of 18 years old)

No minors are permitted to receive a tattoo under any circumstances (not even with a parent). All clients must be 18 years old with a photo I.D.

A person may not perform body piercing on a minor without the written consent of the minor’s parent or legal guardian, and an establishment may not perform body piercing on a minor under the age of 16.

No one under the age of 16 should be pierced under any circumstances. The body is still developing and the minor is usually unprepared to care for the piercing.

Minors should be eligible for piercing of the lower earlobe only, with consent and release of the parent or legal guardian. (Stud applied with piercing gun)

Minors aged 16 and up should be eligible only for the following piercings, with consent and release of the parent or legal guardian with the same last name or same address:

:: Earlobe
:: Ear Cartilage
:: Nostril
:: Navel
:: Eyebrow
:: Lip (labrum outer lip only)

Parent or legal guardian must have same last name as client or documents explaining different last names, or same address on their IDs.

Parent/legal guardian and client must both have State-issued picture ID (school ID may be acceptable at your studio if it contains birth date or accompany school ID with a birth certificate), which should be photocopied and attached to the release form.
