Read This Form
- Please read this form before booking an appointment for any in person visit for services including tattoo, piercing, jewelry purchase, check ups, consultations, insertions, and adjustments. The appointment link for all of our services will be at the bottom of the page. WE CAN NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF A MASK INCLUDING ANYTHING ON OR AROUND THE MOUTH OR THE NOSE! IF YOU SHOW UP FOR ANY NOSTRIL OR ORAL SERVICES YOU WILL NOT BE SERVICED AND YOUR BOOKING FEE WILL NOT BE REFUNDED!
One Appointment per Day
- All customers who wish to enter our business must book an advance appointment for any service including jewelry purchase. You may only schedule one appointment per day and it must be for yourself or the minor you are consenting for. Multiple appointments will be cancelled at our discretion. Do not schedule an appointment for someone else unless you must legally accompany and consent for them during the procedure.
Minors
- If you are a parent of a minor to be pierced, schedule the appointment for your minor under your name. If you are a parent with two minors or more that each want a piercing, you will need to schedule for each of them on separate 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.
Plan to be here for 45 minutes for your piercing appointment
- If o you are booking piercing services, your appointment 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.
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.
Restricted Occupancy and Duration of Visit
- Occupancy and duration of visit is limited under health regulation. 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. You may gain more time with the piercer by filling out our release form on the day of your appointment before you arrive. Please take note that many of the release form questions are date sensitive and must be answered on the same date as your service. If you have filled out the release form days in advance, we will have you do it again during your appointment. To help you prepare, you can find our release forms here: Digital Piercing Release Form. We encourage you to shop our online store for sole jewelry purchases and engage with video chat or email for any checkups or further advice.
