Legal Requirements for Minor Piercings

Before continuing to GA legal requirements, please note OUR policy considering minors:

- Minors MUST be 14 years or older to be pierced at Resurrection Ink. 

- Not all piercing services offered at Resurrection Ink will be available to minors regardless of age. (A minor must be 16 years or older to receive a Navel piercing & we do NOT provide Tongue, Smiley, Cheek (dimples), Dahlia's, or Surface piercings for minors.) 

- We do NOT allow any minors under the age of 14 inside and we do NOT allow any minors inside at all other than the minor(s) to be pierced. 

The following requirements are MANDATED by the Georgia Department of Public Health, Body Art Rules and Regulations Chapter 511-3-8. In order for us to pierce a minor, all requirements MUST be met without exception. This is state law.

      Minor Piercing Requirements:

      (a) The consenting birth parent, or legal guardian, of the minor is REQUIRED to be present during the entirety of the piercing service. Written or video consent is NOT permitted. 

   (b) If consenting adult is the minor’s LEGAL guardian, Legal Guardianship papers MUST be provided AS WELL AS the documents mentioned in (c).

   (c) All required documentation listed below MUST be provided at the time of the piercing service without substitution or exception:

         (1) Birth Certificate of Minor (containing both the name of the minor AND the name of the parent consenting.)

         (2) Photo ID of Minor

         (3) Photo ID of Consenting Parent or Guardian.

(d) At the time of the piercing service, the consenting parent or guardian must sign a Parental Consent Form alongside the Minor Piercing release.

  We are able to accept photos of the required documents, however the image MUST be clear and easy to read when printed.
