What are the requirements for piercing minors? Ages 6 months – 12 years: We will perform ear lobe piercings only. For children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years, we need two adults present for the piercing. The child’s birth certificate is required, and the last name on the certificate must match the photo ID of the parent or legal guardian accompanying them.
Ages 13 – 15 years: We will perform ear lobe and basic ear cartilage piercings (see detailed ID requirements below).
Ages 16 – 18: We will perform most facial and body piercings with parental consent (see detailed ID requirements below). We will not perform nipple or genital piercings, nor advanced ear projects such as industrials.
ID requirements:
You must bring a photo ID (such as a driver’s license, state issued ID card, passport, or school ID). If you only have a school ID, a birth certificate is also required.
A parent or legal guardian must accompany you, and they must bring their photo ID too. Your last names or your home addresses on the IDs must match. If for whatever reason the adult has a different last name/address than you do, we need some sort of paperwork that proves that they are your parent or legal guardian.
Do I need an appointment to get pierced? Not necessarily! You are welcome to try your luck as a walk-in but please keep in mind that there may be a wait. You can book an appointment through our website.
All walk-ins are on a first come/first served basis. Bound has a piercer available seven days a week, open to close. If you would like to see a certain piercer, please call the shop to confirm their availability.
Does your shop apply tooth gems? Yes, we have a skilled technician who will apply semi-permanent gems to your teeth. You should come to the shop with already brushed, flossed, and rinsed teeth. The cleaner the teeth, the better the adhesion. Book with Tiffany through her page.
How much do piercings cost? Standard piercings are $37/hole plus the cost of jewelry. If you get more than two holes at a time, the price is reduced to $30/hole plus the cost of jewelry.
Earlobe piercings start at $25 each and go up to $35/hole depending on age, not including the cost of jewelry. Jewelry prices vary based on style, size, and material.
