We require ID for all tattooing and piercing services that we offer from everybody regardless of age. Failure to provide proper identification in-person when you arrive at your appointment will result in a forfeit of your deposit. We don’t want to do this, so please bring proper ID and everyone will be much happier with the outcome. Minors need to be accompanied by a legal guardian, provide proof of guardianship, and the guardian’s ID. You can review Idaho’s laws around minors and getting piercings or tattoos on the Idaho Legislature’s website. If you have any questions about process, procedure, or our policies, please visit our Help page or call us at (208) 344-8287.
All IDs or combinations of IDs need to have a photo, name, and be from a recognized issuer like the United States, an individual state, or a passport issued by a well-known country.
Ultimately, final approval for any and all procedures are at the sole discretion of the artist performing the work and staff at Imperial Body Art.
IDs for minors
Minors may receive some services at Imperial Body Art if they are accompanied by a legal guardian–not a friend, aunt, or anybody that cannot prove they are legally appointed guardian of the minor. Since minors may not have things like a photo identification, we do accept the following forms of identification from the minor:
- State Issued ID Card
- State Issued Driver’s License
- Birth Certificate + Student ID (must have photo and name)
- US Passport or Passport Card
- International Passport
Proof of Guardianship
Along with their valid personal identification, the legal guardian accompanying the minor will need to provide one of the following to prove guardianship:
- Court-ordered Document
- Exchange Student Guardianship Affidavit
- Birth Certificate
IDs for adults
Adults receiving any service at Imperial Body Art or the legal guardian accompanying a minor receiving services must provide one of the following forms of identification:
- State Issued Driver’s License
- State Issued ID Card
- US Passport or Passport Card
- International Passport
