Without exception, the parent or legal guardian must
be present with the minor to sign the release form.
Each party must have a valid photo ID* . If the parents
last name and/or address is different from the minor's, there must be legal documentation
to prove the relationship. (Birth certificate, divorce papers,
adoption papers, marriage certificate)
Court papers are required to prove a relationship with a legal
guardian.
We do not pierce minors below the neck with the exception
of the navel.
We will pierce earlobes only, on individuals between 12
and 16 years of age.
We will not pierce
children under the age of 12.
If you are under 18 but legally married we can pierce you.
You need to bring your marriage license along with valid photo
ID*.
If you are a legally emancipated minor we can pierce you.
You need to bring court papers along with a valid photo ID*.
Some problems we have found with piercing minors:
- They tend to be less patient
and disciplined than adults, and may fail to keep dirty hands
away from the area causing themselves an infection.
- They may tire of cleaning
and caring for a healing piercing resulting in a variety of complications.
- The anatomy may not be
fully developed, and by the time the piercee is full grown, the
piercing could be in an undesirable or unattractive placement.
Part of the reason you would want to get pierced at Rings of Desire
(in addition to the fact that we are quick, gentle, safe, and
highly experienced), is that we care about doing everything
the right way.
*A valid photo ID is a driver's license, passport, state issued
identification card or military ID. A valid school photo ID and
birth certificate with state seal is acceptable for minors younger
than driving age. Photocopies of any ID are not acceptable.
We reserve the right to refuse service. We will not pierce
anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
