Junior Piercing AppointmentsUpdated 7 hours ago

This appointment is for all of our rising stars, aged 10- 13 years 💛 


This is a tailored service to ensure you and your child have a beautiful, memorable moment in our studios. 💌


You will be called a few days prior by the piercer so they can introduce themselves and remind you to bring the correct ID.


After the appointment, your child will receive a goody bag, containing an aftercare leaflet, stickers, and a Polaroid picture!


Please arrive 15 minutes before the appointment💕

Please see our ID restrictions below:

  • We do not pierce anyone under the age of 10
  • We can only perform cartilage and nose piercings on people 16+
  • Anyone between 10-15 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for piercings, and both the parent and child must bring a valid photo ID
  • Acceptable photo ID includes: Passport, Driver’s Licence. If you do not have either of these, we also accept UK PASS. We do not accept photos copies, the original documents must be provided
  • If the parent/legal guardian and child have different surnames, a birth certificate must also be provided


Don't have a Passport for approved identification for your little one? Not to fret. The Post Office UK PASS card is an affordable alternative for proving their age. Issued by CitizenCard, it’s £15 and accepted as official ID across the UK. Use your Post Office UK PASS card to prove they're under 16, over 16 or over 18.


How much is a UK PASS card?

There are two levels of cost for a UK PASS card:

  • A standard UK PASS card application costs £15 and normally takes no more than 3 weeks

  • An urgent application costs £30 and should take no more than 2 working days

More information regarding the UK Pass card can be found here: https://www.postoffice.co.uk/identity/pass-card


➡ Piercing Procedure Notes:

Our licensed piercers will only use single use piercing needles; we do not use piercing guns.


We will not pierce if numbing cream or topical numbing sprays have been applied to the piercing site; Unfortunately numbing the skin before a piercing comes with complications and potentially serious side effects such as increased swelling, bruising, bleeding, allergic reactions and tissue distortion.
