How old do I have to be to get pierced? What do I need to bring?
Piercers have discretion over the ages they'll do specific piercings.
It is best to email or call the studio and/or the piercer you're interested in coming to directly at
eastside@shamanmods.com, north@shamanmods.com or dallas@shamanmods.com.
It is studio policy not to pierce anyone who does not directly ask for the piercing, the youngest age we will pierce in our shop is 5 years old, and we do not perform facial or navel piercings on anyone under the age of 15. This is for the protection of the client and to prevent problems that may occur during the life of the piercing as their body grows and develops.
Earlobe piercings for children 5-9 years old require a consultation a week prior to the actual piercing and the child and their parent/guardian must complete the homework given at the consultation or we will not be able to do the piercing. The consultation MUST be with the piercer who will be performing the piercing ; in Austin that is Pineapple, Frank, and Travis and in Dallas, Annie. Pineapple is doing virtual consults by appointment (email pineapple@shamanmods.com) and Frank and Travis are doing in person consults (Frank Mon-Wens at the Eastside location and Travis Mon & Fri at Eastside and Tues at the North location).
Earlobe piercings require only the parent/guardian's ID accompanied by the parent/guardian but all other piercings on minors have additional requirements.
Minors ages 14-17 (some ear cartilage piercings) and 15-17 (facial and navel piercings) must have the following ITEMS: (documents will need to be copied upon arrival each and every time you get pierced, we do not keep these on file):
1. Your parent or guardian.
2. State/government issued picture ID for the parent/guardian (photos of an ID are not acceptable)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, however, these rules and regulations were made to improve the safety of your child as well as to to protect us. These are not only our rules, they are the law, thank you for your understanding.
