Our Policy on Piercing Minors:

Without exception, the parent or legal guardian must be present with the minor to sign the release form. 

Each party must have a valid photo ID*. If the parent's last name and/or address is different from the minor's, there must be legal documentation to prove the relationship (Birth Certificate, Divorce papers, Adoption papers, Marriage Certificate). Court papers are required to prove a relationship with a legal guardian.

We will not pierce children under the age of 12.

We will pierce earlobes only on individuals between 12 and 15 years of age.

We do not pierce minors' tongues, nor below the neck with the exception of the navel.

If you are under 18, but legally married, we can pierce you. You need to bring your Marriage License along with valid photo ID*.

If you are a legally emancipated minor, we can pierce you. You need to bring court papers along with a valid photo ID*.

Part of the reason you would want to get pierced at Virtue & Vice (in addition to the fact that we are quick, gentle, safe, and highly experienced), is that we care about doing everything the right way. 

*A valid photo ID is a Driver's License, Passport, State-issued Identification Card or Military ID. A valid school photo ID and Birth Certificate with State Seal is acceptable for minors younger than driving age. Photocopies of any ID are not acceptable.
