Disclaimer & Minor Consent Policy
To comply with Western Australia body piercing laws and maintain a safe professional environment, The Piercing Places requires strict verification and consent procedures for all clients under 18.
Any person under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present before a piercing can be performed. If the parent or guardian cannot attend in person, they must be available by phone to confirm consent and provide required details. No piercing will be carried out on a minor without verified parental or legal guardian permission.
Parents or legal guardians must provide accurate identification and documentation confirming their relationship to the minor. Any individual falsely claiming guardianship or providing incorrect identification will be refused service. Likewise, any person presenting false identification to claim they are over 18 will not be served.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who behaves in an inappropriate, argumentative, or disrespectful manner toward staff. Our studio prioritises safety, professionalism, and a respectful environment for all clients receiving body piercing in Fremantle.
