Minor body piercings are available by appointment only and are evaluated on a case by case basis. We do not set one universal age requirement for every minor piercing because parents often know their child’s maturity level better than anyone. However, age alone is never the only factor. For any minor piercing, we need to see that the child is mature enough to understand the piercing procedure, understand that proper healing requires consistent piercing aftercare, and realistically be able to follow that aftercare throughout the healing process. Approval may also depend on anatomy, physical development, and overall maturity, since some piercings are simply not appropriate until the area has developed enough. All final decisions are made by the piercer based on anatomy, readiness, and what is appropriate for the minor. Nipple piercings and genital piercings are not performed on minors under any circumstances.
All piercings for minors require a scheduled appointment and proper identification. A parent must be present, or a legal guardian must be present with documentation proving legal guardianship. We do not accept consent from just any accompanying adult without legal paperwork. Valid ID is required for both the parent or legal guardian and the minor at the time of the appointment. Our team follows strict hygiene and safety protocols at every appointment, including the use of sterilized equipment and single use needles to provide a clean, safe, and professional piercing experience. Every appointment includes a thorough consultation covering the piercing process, jewelry selection, healing expectations, and aftercare instructions so both the minor and parent understand what is required for proper healing. We focus on delivering an experience that balances style, safety, professionalism, and age appropriate decision making, while following all applicable state and local regulations.

About
With over 20 years of freehand body piercing experience, I focus on providing high quality body piercings, high end body jewelry, and a client experience centered around piercing education, comfort, and trust. I work out of Hermosa Ink Collective in Hermosa Beach, the highest rated and most reviewed piercing studio in Southern California, with over 2,000 reviews and a perfect 5 star rating on Google. As a freehand body piercer, I take an individualized approach to every piercing, carefully considering the anatomy needed for your piercing, the piercing placement that works best for your body, the jewelry selection that best fits your piercing, and the piercing aftercare that makes the most sense for your specific piercing and lifestyle.
Most of my clients come from Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Inglewood, Hawthorne, El Segundo, Palos Verdes, and other nearby areas across the South Bay, but I also routinely see clients who make the trip from places like Long Beach, Culver City, South Orange County, and other areas more than an hour away for my body piercing services. If you are looking for an experienced body piercer serving Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and the South Bay, my goal is to provide a piercing experience that feels personal, professional, and tailored to you.
I do not believe piercings should be one size fits all. Every client’s anatomy is different, every piercing placement is different, and piercing aftercare should make sense for the specific piercing, the specific person, and how they actually live day to day. Whether you are coming in for a conch piercing, helix piercing, nostril piercing, navel piercing, eyebrow piercing, or something more advanced, I take the time to make sure your piercing fits well, heals well, and makes sense for your body and your goals.
My goal is not just to give you a high quality piercing. It is to make sure you leave feeling informed, comfortable, and confident in every part of the piercing process. Whether you are local to the South Bay or making the drive from another part of Southern California, I want you to feel like you are in the right place from the moment you walk in.
