Before You Come In
Preparation
A bit of prep makes the whole experience smoother. Here's everything you need to know before you walk through the door.
The Checklist
What To Do Before Your Appointment
Eat a proper meal first
Low blood sugar + needles = light-headed. Eat within the 1–2 hours before your appointment.
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water through the day. Being hydrated makes the whole process easier.
Bring photo ID
For 16+ we need valid photo ID (passport, driving licence or PASS card). No ID, no piercing.
Under 16? Bring a parent.
Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with matching ID. We don't pierce under 14 for most services.
No alcohol or drugs
We don't pierce anyone under the influence. It affects healing, bleeding and your ability to give consent.
Wear something comfortable
Think about access. Navel piercing? Loose top. Nipple piercing? Avoid underwire.
No big plans after
Skip gym, swimming or heavy drinking for 24 hours at minimum.
Come with questions
Bring photos, write a list, ask everything. We'd rather answer 20 questions than one bad surprise.
Age & Consent
How old do I need to be?
16+
Most piercings with photo ID. You can consent alone — no parent needed.
14 – 15
Ear and nostril only. Parent or legal guardian must attend with matching ID and sign consent.
Under 14
Ear lobes only, at our discretion. Please call first. We reserve the right to decline.
No exceptions. No ID, no service — this protects you and us.
Payment
How You Pay
No deposit needed for single piercings. Multi-piercing sessions may require a small deposit — we'll let you know.
