FAQ – Piercing
What are the requirements to get pierced?
South Carolina requirements to get pierced are being over the age of 18 and with two forms of valid ID where one has to have a picture of the customer (preferably DL/Government issued ID).
Can I get pierced if I am under 18 years old?Yes, as long as a legal parent or a guardian is present at the time of piercing and signs off for the minor. Both minor and parent must have a valid government issued identification at the time of piercing. If the minor does not have a drivers license or passport, then the child’s birth certificate and school ID (with name and picture) are acceptable. In addition, if the child is 15 years old or younger, South Carolina state law requires a note from a medical doctor stating that the minor is physically able to receive the desired piercing (notes from an RN are not accepted).
