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.

Due to Australian law, we cannot pierce anyone under the age of 10.
