➤ Do I need to bring ID?
If you’re under 16, a parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the consent form.
For others, we may ask for your age ID if you look under 18, so it’s best to bring it just in case.

– Young Scot card
– Other official photo ID with date of birth

Absolutely. You’re welcome to bring one person for support, especially helpful if it’s your first time.

Most clients say it’s over before they know it. Jooles uses calm, precise techniques to keep discomfort minimal.
➤ How long does a piercing take to heal?
Healing times vary depending on the area, but we’ll give you tailored aftercare advice to help everything heal smoothly.
