Piercer Rich RESUMES the PIERCING of MINORS!
Thanks for your patience! You may now phone Iconic to book an appointment for your child!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CALLING TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT:
• Children 5 - 8 years seeking ear piercing would benefit from a consultation appointment prior to the piercing (meet/greet, dry run, etc.).
• Forms will be digital (link sent via email) and require uploading of the parent and minor's photo I.D. and the minor's birth certificate.
• The one parent OR legal guardian who filled out the abovementioned form must accompany the minor client. In case of legal guardianship, proper documentation stating so is required.
• Under the mask services are still on hold (nostril, septum, lip, tongue, etc.)
• Piercings need to be healed prior to submerging in ANY body of water. Please consider swimming plans before scheduling. For example: earlobes take approx. 2 months to heal, ear cartilage takes 6-9 months or more.
Call the studio directly to check availability and schedule an appointment. When booking, you’ll be asked to leave a deposit of the service or first piercing fee. This is not a separate/additional fee.
MINIMUM AGE FOR PIERCINGS:
Earlobes: 5
Outer cartilage (outer rim of ear) piercings: (helix, scapha, etc.) 15
Inner cartilage: (daith, tragus, conch, etc.) 16
Eyebrow: 16
Navel: 16
Hope everyone is well...
…and stays that way.
To continue doing our part in keeping clients and employees the safest, the following protocols remain in place:
all visits are by appointment
if you’d like, a shopping appointment or door pick-up can be arranged for aftercare, jewelry, gift cards or merchandise
masks covering one’s nose and mouth are required at all times (so no food or drink, please, and currently not performing tattoos or piercings underneath the mask)
clients are welcome to bring one guest with them if they’d like; piercings on minors will resume very soon
We remain hopeful that each of you are doing well and staying positive.
Take care~
