preparing for your appointment

At THPS we want every piercing to be a smooth, safe, and enjoyable experience. Follow this guide to ensure you’re ready for your appointment

Stay Healthy and Prepared

Clients must be in full health/without sickness to attend their appointment.

Here are a few tips to help make this a safe experience:

  • Stay hydrated and eat a nutritious meal within 4 hours before your appointment to increase blood sugar levels and avoid light headiness and fainting

  • Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine at least 8 hours prior to your piercing

  • Consult your doctor if you’re taking blood thinners, antibiotics, or medications

  • Avoid piercing during pregnancy or if you’ve recently had surgery

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the piercing area

piercing age, identification and consent

  • You MUST be 16 years or over to receive a piercing without parental consent. Please be advised that even though you may look older than 16  will still be obliged to ask for ID so please don't be offended.

    The only other age restrictions are for body piercings such as Nipple Piercings . In this case you MUST be 18 years or over to get a nipple piercing regardless of Parental or guardian consent.

  • ID is a requirement for ALL clients visiting our studio for a piercing service.

    We DO NOT accept Student ID as they are not legally recognised.


    Forms of ID accepted must be a Government-Issued Photo ID such as 

    • Drivers License Digital or Physical

    • Proof of Age card

    • Passports

  • To consent to a piercing for a child under 16, you must be their legal guardian or parent and sign a legally binding consent form. Our staff will need proof of your parental relationship, including ID and guardianship verification.

    The simplest way to verify this is by showing a Medicare card or birth certificate with both names listed, or by logging into your Medicare, Centrelink, or MyGov app to display the linked accounts.

    If you are a legal guardian or carer, you may need to provide a guardianship order, Centrelink documentation, or app evidence showing both names linked.
