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? |
