Tattoo

• Although the Texas state law does allow for exceptions to the rule, we do not tattoo anyone under the age of 18.

Piercing

• Under state law, minors can only be pierced with specific parental consent. We require that parent and minor BOTH bring state or government photo identification and birth certificate as proof of legal guardianship. If the parent’s name does not match the birth certificate, legal documentation proving name change is required.

Please note

• Obscurities employees will not perform piercings on minors under the age of 16 with exception of earlobes which will not be performed on anyone under the age of 10 years old, nor will they pierce below the neckline with the exception of the navel, and reserve the right to refuse to perform any piercings. Navel piercings will not be performed on anyone who does not appear to be fully grown, usually 16 years of age. Sudden growth spurts will interfere with the healing. If you are interested in piercing minors under the age of 10, we recommend you contact your pediatrician to perform the piercing.
