Warrior Policy:
Age of consent
In Pennsylvania, the legal age of
consent is 18 years. Recent Philadelphia piercing and tattoo regulations
limit the minimum age to 16 years with parental consent. We have
a very strict policy on refusal to pierce minors.
Basically, it is not worth it for any of our piercers to lose their jobs
to pierce an under aged child. We will card all clientele, and our
staff are well trained to spot fake IDs. The following forms of identification
are acceptable:
-
State Drivers or Photo non-drivers License
-
US Passport
-
Military ID
-
Government Employee ID
-
Birth Certificate with a matching Photo ID
We will not accept hand written, typed out, laminated
personal IDs. We will not accept check cashing ID's or photocopied
birth certificates (which is illegal unless done by a notary public).
Legal Guardian Consent
Legal Guardian Consent
If you are under the age of 18,
Warrior can perform a body piercing for you under two conditions:one,
that you have a parent or legal guardian to sign for your
pierce, and two, in our Philadelphia locations, you must be at least
16
years of age. In Philadelphia minors under the age of 16
can get pierced if accompanied by a physicians note allowing the pierce
to be done. The parent must bring identification that is acceptable
by the list above. The minor must have a school photo ID or a birth
certificate with photo ID. We cannot accept any of
the following:
-
Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or
friends over the age of 18
-
"Permission" notes from your parent
-
Parental consent without proper identification
If you have a legal guardian other than a parent,
you must bring proper documentation (i.e. guardianship papers, emancipation
papers) and photo ID.
This may seem to be a lot of restrictions,
but this policy is enforced for the safety of the minor and the goodwill
of Warrior. To sum it all up, "Come
PREPARED". Don't waltz into one of our shops with NO identification
and expect us to believe everything is legitimate
Too Old?
As far as maximum age limits
go, there are none. If you are a parent who is bringing in a child
for a piercing, think about getting one yourself. It can be a very
nice bonding experience!
