PIERCING
FAQs
WHAT IS THE MIN AGE REQUIREMENT?
Piercings are not all equal! There is a diverse number of piercing types available at ZEN, and each has it’s own age requirement. We are happy to discuss this with you!
(See scheduling page for age requirement for each piercing type.)
We do not pierce under 16 years of age without parental consent. We require government issued I.D. for all piercings. All genital piercings require you to be 18 years of age, no exceptions. Each piercer has their own preference on children’s piercing age requirements, and is subject to discretion of each piercer.
ARE WALK-INS ACCEPTED?
We accept walk-ins as the schedule accommodates them. We understand the excitement of a spontaneous piercing! If you are able to schedule in an appointment same day, please do so and choose the category that applies to your appointment to help us organize our day! Appointments take preference over walk-ins, but we are happy to accommodate a quick visit to peek at jewelry, change jewelry, or even grab a new piercing.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
We encourage you to be as supported as you need to be during your appointment. Please consider that the piercing room is a controlled workspace for your piercer, and disruptions to their process are cause for limiting extra people in the room.
CAN I BRING MY OWN JEWELRY?
We love that you may have a jewelry collection, however we strive to adhere to the highest standards in body piercing. As a fully disposable studio, we only use NEW jewelry purchased from our trusted suppliers for your new or healed piercing. We cannot facilitate installations of jewelry that is used, as we do not re-process anything on site.
WHAT IF I’M A FAINTER?
We are here to make this process as fast and easy as possible! If you have a history of fainting, please don’t hesitate to let your piercer know - we are all trained to facilitate this should it happen. You are safe with us!
