CONSULTS ARE REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN 5-9!
Children ages 5-9, along with their parent/guardian, must have a consult with the piercer doing their piercing, or a virtual consult with Pineapple, at least 7 days before the piercing and successfully complete the homework.
Consults are only offered on weekdays with the piercer that will be performing the piercings. If you are unable to come in to see the piercer you have chosen on a weekday that the piercer you have chosen is available, you may request (via email) a virtual consultation with Pineapple and still see the piercer of your choice for the actual piercings.
Please check the piercer schedule that you have chosen for your child's piercings.
Please check the piercer's preferences to see which piercers offer earlobe piercings ages 5-9.
Starting at age 10 - consults are not required for earlobe piercings.
Starting at age 14 & up - a broader variety of ear and facial piercings become available. The minimum age each piercer will offer to minors for specific piercings and whether a consult is required are listed here. Every piercer has a different comfort with what they will & won't pierce and at what ages, be sure to check the link to ensure the piercer you've chosen offers piercings you're wanting at the age of your minor.
We apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment these rules bring to our amazing minor clients and their parent/guardians. Our top priority is the safety and comfort of our clients as they grow and develop and a long life for happy, healthy piercings.
MINORS MUST BRING TWO THINGS TO OBTAIN A PIERCING:
1. A parent/legal guardian AND their parent/guardian's state/government issued photo ID (photos of an ID are not legally acceptable in Texas for adults) to sign the consent forms. This person must remain in the building during their piercing. While we are limiting lobby capacity we have made an exception for minors so they may bring one person in addition to their signer.
2. Updated 8/18/22 - The minor must also have some form of current photo documentation that ties them to their name. This can be a passport, a state ID, a school ID, a yearbook photo, a screenshot from the school district portal, recreational center pass, even a newspaper article with their picture and name.
