Why We’re Updating Our Age Policy for Piercings
We’ve updated our age policy to better reflect how body piercing culture continues to evolve. Beginning this month, we’re lowering the age requirement for many piercings from 14 to 13 (with a parent or legal guardian present and proper ID).
The short version: piercings are more common, more accepted, and people are getting them younger. Our goal is to make sure those experiences happen in a safe, clean, and professional environment—not at home or in studios with lower standards.
