Guns 2 Roses does acknowledge that minors are a viable and important

part of our society and that they do have a right

to express themselves with Piercings & Tattoos

However,

To use the services of our master piercer and tattoo artist

Gary Mayo you must poses and present

three items at the time of your body arts request:

1: Photo ID of minor (School Photo ID, Dept of Motor Vehicles ID, Police ID)

2: Parent Photo ID (Dept. of Motor Vehicles, Military, Government)

3: Birth Certificate of Minor Listing parent as (well you guessed it) parent

A valid photo ID is a driver's license, passport, state issued identification card or military ID

Photocopies of any ID are not acceptable.

Guns 2 Roses requires a parent be present with the minor to sign the release form and stay during the piercing and or tattoo.      

We do not pierce minors below the neck with the exception of the navel.

No upper body tattoos on minors that would show outside a tee shirt.  No exceptions.  This means no facial tattoos or lower arm tattoos.  No tattoos that would be inside a pair of boxer shorts.  NO Exceptions.  

Guns 2 Roses will pierce earlobes only, on individuals 12 and younger.

Possible problems associated with piercing ant tattooing minors:
 

• Minors tend to be less patient and disciplined than adults, and may fail to keep dirty hands away from the area causing themselves an infection. (a problem not limited to minors). 
  
   
• Minors may tire of cleaning and caring for a healing piercing or tattoo resulting in a variety of complications.
  
   
• A minors anatomy is not fully developed, and by the time the minor is full grown, the piercing or tattoo could be in an undesirable or unattractive piece of artwork. 

Because we feel it is better to get a piercing or tattoo from a professional rather than a fellow student in the men's room of the gymnasium at school, Guns 2 Roses encourages all adults to talk to your children and learn to let them be in charge of their bodies as much as is prudent.  Only a parent can know where that line is. 

We reserve the right to refuse service. We will not pierce or tattoo anyone we suspect is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. (We would hope minors under the guidance of an adult would never be intoxicated, but we live in a very strange world.)

Life is great! Share this experience we call "Life on Earth" by enjoying all that life has to offer with your child.  Putting a piercing in your body is part of growing up, and you can learn something about yourself by reliving your youth through them. 

Share that joy with your child.  What could it hurt?
