Preparing yourself
Standards of Practice
At Miami Tattoo Co we utilize the Statim G4 2000, a top of the line autoclave which allows us to sterilize everything necessary to perform your piercing in a quick and efficient manner. Essentials such as body jewelry and needles are sterilized on the spot for each individual to ensure sterility prior to use. Everything else from q-tips to the gloves we wear to pierce you are pre-packaged and sterile to further ensure that your procedure is done in the cleanest and safest manner possible.
Dont forget your ID! Even if you are 80 years old, we still need to see your identification or by law, we cannot pierce you.
Acceptable forms of ID are:
-
State issued ID cards
-
Drivers licenses or permits
-
Passports
-
Military IDs.
Make sure to eat a full meal 3-4 hours before getting pierced. Eating a full meal prior to piercing will help to reduce the possibility of becoming lightheaded or queasy.
It is illegal for us to pierce you if you are under the influence of any drugs, that includes alcohol.
If you have any medical conditions it is advisable to consult with your physician first.
It is our policy to refrain from piercing you if you are nursing or pregnant, to insure the safety of your child.
If you have any questions or any special circumstance and arn't sure what to bring or do just give me a call (305) 531-0204
"Copies of the written notarized parental consent statements required by Section 381.0075(7), F.S., for minors. The statements must describe the type of piercings that will be performed on the minor."
As Florida law states release forms for minors must be notarized. There are several locations available near the shop but if you would like you can e-mail me and a copy of the form can be sent to you so can have it ready when you come in for your piercing. Parents must accompany the minor and both parties must have a photo I.D. with them.
