Under state law, this is non-negotiable.

Please be aware if these documents are not present at the beginning of the appointment your appointment will be cancelled and deposit will be forfeit.

Proper identification must be brought to every appointment, every time.

What type of jewelry do you use?

We generally use a stud style earring with a flat disc on the back. We use only the best materials from the most reputable jewelry companies in the USA. When you come in for your appointment, you can choose from various options in implant grade titanium as well as 14k white, yellow and rose gold. Gemmed titanium stud options will start at $50 per earring.

What else do I need to know?

Your child will decide if they are ready to get pierced. We will not force or coerce anyone to get pierced if they are not ready. We use sterile single-use needles as it is the most gentle and safe way to perform the piercings. Liz is the only piercer at Gold Fox that will provide lobe piercings on minors under 14 years old. She is available for these appointments on Tuesday & Wednesday only.
