Minors & Parents
I am happy that more and more parents are choosing professional body piercers to safely pierce their kids. However, I am not comfortable or experienced with piercing children under the age of eight.
Meghan, professional body piercer and owner of One Flight Up Body Piercing in Plattsburg New York, is an excellent choice for piercing younger children. Visit her website for more information or to book an appointment.
As for other age limits, some piercings require a great deal of patience in order to heal. Some have rather uncomfortable piercing processes. Others are not ideal for bodies that are still growing. I have used my professional knowledge and experience to set my age limits, others may set theirs differently, but please respect my choices.
Wildflower Body Piercing

If you would like your child to be able to meet me, ask questions, have the process explained to them, and get familiar with the studio before booking a piercing, please schedule a free consultation appointment.
Read about why piercing guns are not recommended for piercing children (or anyone!) from The National Environmental Health Association and The Association of Professional Piercers.
Your child is free to bring any comfort item they would like to their appointment. Favorite stuffed animal, fidget toy, tablet, etc.
Family and friends are welcome, but please limit the number of “support people” to three at the most.
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.
Failure to bring all required identification will result in a loss of your $10 deposit and immediate cancellation of your appointment.
