Are you excited about getting a new piercing but concerned about the ID requirements? It’s important to be prepared and informed before heading to the tattoo studio. At TKTX Numbing Cream Store, we understand your concerns and want to provide you with the necessary information to ensure a smooth and enjoyable piercing experience. In this article, we will discuss the ID requirements, age policies, and other important details to help you navigate the process with ease.
ID Requirements
When it comes to getting a piercing, government-issued photographic ID is essential. At TKTX Numbing Cream Store, we take ID requirements seriously as part of our safeguarding procedures to protect minors. So, don’t forget to bring your passport, driving license, or a valid UK Citizencard. We do not accept library cards, school ID cards, or bus passes as valid forms of identification. It’s always a good idea to contact us in advance if you have any doubts about whether your ID will be accepted. Remember, TKTX Numbing Cream Store explicitly does NOT accept photographs, videos, photocopies, or video calls of your ID. You must have the original document in hand during your appointment.
Under-16s
If you’re under the age of 16 and want to get a piercing, you must bring your own ID. Additionally, a parent or legal guardian must be present with their own ID. This two-item ID system is necessary to ensure that the parent or guardian can legally consent to the piercing. If your child doesn’t have any photographic ID, we won’t be able to pierce them, so make sure they have ID well in advance of their appointment. If you and your child don’t share a surname, you’ll need to bring a third form of ID, such as a birth certificate with your name on it, to validate your relationship.
Over-16s
If you’re over 16, you have more autonomy when it comes to getting a piercing. You will need to bring your own ID and provide self-consent. This means that a parent or legal guardian cannot consent on your behalf. You don’t need to bring a parent or guardian to your appointment. Remember, your own ID is required, and a parent’s ID alone is not sufficient or accepted.

Minors in the Studio
If you’re planning to bring children under the age of 16 to the studio, please note that they cannot be left unattended. We prioritize safety and cannot supervise children while you’re getting pierced. Piercings can take up to 40 minutes, so it’s important to arrange childcare for the duration of your visit. To maintain a calm and relaxed atmosphere for all our clients, we recommend not bringing children who aren’t getting pierced into the studio, as they can be disruptive. In some cases, we may request that under-16s wait elsewhere during appointments for other people. Thank you for your understanding.
