Policies

At Ritual, We prioritize the health and safety of our clients above all else.

Ritual is a very small studio, so we recommend booking an appointment for piercings as well as viewing Jewelry. 

Walk-ins are available when possible. 

We use only sterile, single-use piercing needles for all piercings. We do not use piercing guns, as they can cause excessive trauma to the skin, which can lead to complications such as scarring, infection, and keloids.

We follow strict standards for initial piercings set out by the Association of Professional Piercers, and only pierce with jewelry that meets or exceeds these standards. 

We do not pierce with outside jewelry to ensure the highest level of safety and hygiene.

Due to the intimate nature of body jewelry, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges. All sales are final.

To ensure you have the best possible piercing experience, we ask that clients arrive on time for their appointment. If a client is more than 10 minutes late, they will be considered a no-show or missed appointment. 

It is highly recommended that clients do not come to their appointment on an empty stomach, as this can increase the likelihood of fainting and feeling unwell after their piercing.,

Age Restrictions:

  • Nipple or Genital Piercings are only available to clients who are at least 18 years old.

  • Helix piercings have a minimum age requirement of 14 years old.

  • Ear lobe piercings are available for children aged 8 years and older, with parental attendance and consent. We require valid government-issued photo ID for both the child and their parent/guardian. A birth certificate paired with a school ID or care card is accepted.

  • Please note: We require informed and enthusiastic consent from all minors. If a child is not ready to be pierced, we will not proceed. 

  • We do not perform piercings on children under the age of 8.

  • For all other piercings, clients must be at least 16 years old and have valid government-issued photo identification.

At our piercing studio, we are committed to providing the highest level of safety and hygiene for our clients. If you have any questions or concerns about our policies, please do not hesitate to contact us.
