Covid-19 Interim Health Order

• State says it's okay, however SFDPH still prohibits Body Art services for the mouth and nose area. Customers must keep their Face Covering on during the entire body art service.
• We can not provide any services that would require the removal of properly fitted face mask for any amount of time. We do hope SF will update their health order soon. Sorry, no nostrils, septums, lips, cheeks, tongues, or any adjustments, removals, check ups, or tattooing on that lower quadrant under a face mask. 

One Appointment per Day

• You may only schedule one appointment per day and it must be for yourself. Multiple appointments will be cancelled at our discretion.
• We are required to maintain social distance within our facility as well as reduce exposure time.

No additional guests

• Customers are prohibited from bringing additional people with them to their appointment. If the person receiving the service is a minor, they may bring an adult guardian, or if the person receiving the treatment is disabled or needs assistance due to health reasons they may bring an adult care provider. Adult customers may bring their minor children if they have no other childcare options. Anyone entering the establishment must be screened and wear a Face Covering.

Minors

• For piercing services, minors must have adult guardian consent. One legal guardian must be present during the entire procedure. Only one parent is allowed to accompany the minor. If there is more than one minor wanting to be pierced, they must be scheduled on seperate days. If you are a parent with minor and both of you want a piercing, you will have to schedule for each of you on separate days. This maintains a minimal exposure time per person, per day. If we see you have multiple appointments in one day, we will cancel one of your times at our discretion.
• Jewelry purchases, check ups, or jewelry removals do not require parental consent, but you may have one parent accompany you if desired.
• Tattooing on minors is strictly prohibited regardless of consent.

30 Minute Reception Format and Actual Duration of Visit

• Piercing services are formatted in 30 minute time slots for reception. This 30 minute time slot will actually give you a 45 minute visit with 15 minutes at the jewelry counter followed by 30 minutes with a piercer. Plan accordingly. We are running multiple separated reception counters with multiple staff at an efficient pace to enable these time slots. You will spend no more than 30 minutes with any one staff member. This safety protocol ensures limited exposure.
• Your jewelry consultant will guide you to how many piercings you may be able receive during your appointment. If you are looking for 3 or more piercings, 3 or more adjustments, or 3 or more insertions, schedule additional appointments on other days.
• Tattoo appointments are formatted in the actual time. You may plan for the booked time accordingly.

Booking Fee

• Your paid booking fee will be applied to your in store purchase. If no purchase is made due to missing ID, requesting a oral/nostril piercing/ or any other negligence, your booking fee is not refundable. We are under strict guidelines that greatly reduce our capacity. Every time slot counts toward our survival. Please take the time to read and follow this protocol. We know it's a lot, and we are here to help. Email us with any questions before your visit.

Bringing your Own Jewelry for a Service

• If you have jewelry of your own that you would like to use for a service, you must first have it approved and processed with us.
