Age Requirements

At Golden Era Piercing, your safety is my highest priority. I follow strict age guidelines for all piercings to ensure every procedure is carried out safely, responsibly, and in line with best practice.

Please Note

  • Valid photo ID is required for every client, regardless of age.

  • Clients under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The parent or legal guardian must also provide valid photographic ID..

  • All piercings are anatomy dependent, and I will always assess whether a piercing is suitable before proceeding.

  • Bridge, Eyebrow, and Navel piercings require a consultation before booking to assess anatomy and suitability.

Parent & Guardian Information

Children under 16 must attend their appointment with a parent or legal guardian.

Both the client and the parent or legal guardian must bring valid photo ID. The parent or legal guardian will be required to complete a consent form before the piercing can take place.

Anatomy Assessments & Consultations

Every piercing is anatomy dependent, and I will assess your anatomy before carrying out any procedure. In some cases, I may advise against a particular piercing if it isn't suitable or cannot be performed safely.

For Bridge, Eyebrow, and Navel piercings, a consultation is required before an appointment can be booked. This allows me to assess your anatomy, discuss jewellery options, explain the healing process, and ensure the piercing is suitable for you.
