What if I'm under 18?

Florida law requires written, notarized parental consent. A parent must fill out one of our forms and sign it in front of a notary public.
 
For a tattoo, the parent must accompany the minor and bring a governement issued picture ID with the notarized form.

For a piercing, if the minor is under 16, the parent must accompany them and bring a government issued picture ID with the notarized form.

If the minor is 16 or 17 and has a government issued (not school) picture ID with their date of birth, they may come with the notarized form.

We encourage parents to ask questions and make informed decisions regarding their children. To get the forms, click the links below. They will open in a new window. When you're done printing the form, close the window to return here.

Can I get AIDS from a tattoo?

What about hepatitis?

While it is certainly possible to transmit hepatitis through tattooing and piercing, it is very easy to prevent this from happening. Go to a reputable shop that practices proper sterile procedures.
 

What do you do to prevent disease transmission?

All needles, both tattooing and piercing are single-use. Other items such as clamps used in piercing and tubes used in tattooing are autoclaved. The autoclave is monitored monthly to insure it is working properly, and results are posted on the wall. Gloves are worn for every procedure. We practice Universal Precautions and are in compliance with all Department of Health regulations. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this. We strongly believe that an informed public is our best customer.
