Under 18’s Piercing Guidelines at Cherry Piercing

Essential Information for Booking Appointments for Minors:

Our automated booking platform is for piercings for over 18’s only. If you would like to book an under 18 in for a piercing please read the information below. Once you are happy with the requirements contact us via the booking form and we can assist you in getting booked in.

Identification Requirements:

For appointments involving minors, a valid, up-to-date photo ID is required for both the child and the accompanying parent or guardian. Acceptable forms include a passport, driving license, EU ID card, or CitizensCard. We also require a document, such as birth certificate, that shows the relationship of the parent/ legal guardian and the child.

Please note:

- We do not accept expired IDs, birth certificates, bank cards, student IDs, photocopies, or digital images of IDs.

- Failure to present the correct ID at the appointment will result in a loss of deposit. This policy is clearly stated on our website and booking system. By booking with us, you agree to these terms.

Parental or Guardian Presence:

A parent or legal guardian must accompany minors under 18. Legal guardians should provide court documents as proof.

Please understand:

- Relatives such as aunts, uncles, grandparents, or siblings cannot provide consent unless legally appointed as guardians.

- Arriving without the required guardian will lead to a 100% loss of your booking fee and appointment being cancelled.

Age Restrictions for Piercings:

- Ear Lobes: 12 years & above

- Nose or Other Ear Piercings: 13 years & above

- Eyebrow, Lip, or Navel: 16 years & above

- Nipple Piercings: 18 years & above

Making appointments for those under age will lead to full service charges and appointment cancellation.

Group Bookings:

For group bookings or multiple children, please contact us for scheduling assistance. Our availability can be limited, especially on weekends. If booking for someone else’s child, use the parent’s name and contact information to ensure they receive necessary forms.

Studio Visit Guidelines:

As a small studio, we maintain capacity limits to ensure a safe, calm environment. If you arrive with more people than the child and the required parent/ legal guardian we may request the additional people to wait outside.

The guardian should remain visible outside the piercing room per the piercer's discretion.

Consent and Comfort:

Cherry Piercing prioritizes the comfort and consent of our clients. If a child appears uncomfortable or decides against the piercing, we will happily reschedule.

We ask parents and guardians to respect our piercers' judgment and the child’s consent. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for first-timers and will not tolerate any abusive behavior towards our staff.

Aftercare Support:

We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions both verbally and in writing at the appointment. Additional guidance is available depending on the piercing.

For concerns or follow-ups, book a check-up or send images via email or WhatsApp. Adhering to aftercare instructions is critical for healthy healing; non-compliance may void our liability.

Piercing Technique:

At Cherry Piercing, we uphold safety by using only single-use sterile needles for all procedures—never piercing guns.

If you prefer a gun piercing and wish to cancel, you will be liable for the appointment fee.

Additional Information:

At Cherry Piercing, we focus on offering a top-tier experience.

We aim to maintain a tranquil environment. Help us by keeping noise levels low, ensuring our piercers concentrate, and clients remain calm.

Abusive behaviour towards our team will result in immediate removal and a ban from future appointments.
