§ 11-212. Verification that the customer on whom the body piercing is performed is 18 years of age or older or has the consent of a parent or guardian.

The body piercing vendor shall, prior to performing any body piercing, make sure that the customer to be pierced is 18 years of age or older or has the consent of a parent or legal guardian to be pierced. If the customer is less than 18 years of age, they must bring a parent or legal guardian to the premises and the parent or legal guardian must sign a consent form giving their permission for the piercing of the customer.

In the event that the customer is 18 years of age or older, the body piercing vendor shall assure him- or herself of the age of the customer by viewing two forms of identification, one of which shall be a picture form of identification.

The types of identification accepted shall be legal forms of identification such as a birth certificate, drivers license, state identification card or military identification card. The vendor shall make a written record of all of the pertinent information on these two forms of identification and shall maintain this written record for inspection by competent authorities for the period of three years from the date the service is rendered.
