Age and Photo ID Requirements
For all piercing procedures, we accept photo identification as valid forms of ID. The following types are accepted:
- Driver’s Licence
- Digital Driver's License
- Proof of Age Card

For students, we accept a school ID that includes both a date of birth and a photo.
In Australia, age restrictions apply to body piercing services. Please refer to the tables below to see if you are eligible for your next piercing.
If you are between the ages of 10 and 16, you must be accompanied in-store by a parent or legal guardian to sign the consent form. They must also bring their own photo ID and proof of guardianship. For example, a Medicare card that includes both your names.

Can I bring my child to get piercing?
Yes, if your child is over the age of 10, they can be pierced at any of our stores.
You must provide valid photo ID and proof of guardianship. For example, a Medicare card that includes both your names.
If you do not have valid photo ID or proof of guardianship, please consult with the store to confirm what forms of identification may be accepted for your child.
