Policies

These apply to every client at Lumen, for both piercings and tattoos. Please read before your visit.

ID Policies & Requirements

Unfortunately, due to the rise of AI we are no longer accepting photos of identification. Moving forward we will only accept physical, original documentation.

We kindly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

What type of ID do I need to bring?

Due to our insurance policy and Island Health requirements, we are legally obligated to require original, and valid (non-expired) government-issued photo ID for each client, regardless of age, even if you have provided your ID previously.

Acceptable forms of ID include, but are not limited to:

  • Driver's license
  • Services Card (Care Card)
  • Identity Card
  • Status Card with photo & DOB
  • Other forms of government-issued photo ID

Or one of these:

  • School/college photo ID
  • Work photo ID

In tandem with:

  • Birth certificate
  • Services Card (Care Card)

ID Requirements for Minors

Any person under the age of 16 requires a parent or legal guardian to be present at check-in, with valid government-issued ID for both parties. We understand that most minors do not have government-issued photo ID. Some examples of acceptable forms of ID for minors are:

Minor has:

  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Passport
  • School or work photo ID with a passport
  • School or work photo ID with Services/Care Card
  • Status Card with photo & DOB

Parent or guardian has:

  • Driver's license
  • Passport
  • Other government-issued photo ID
  • Status Card with photo & DOB

If you are not the parent but are the legal guardian of the minor, we will need official, original paperwork confirming your responsibility for that person.

Please note that if your child is younger than our age of requirement, the service(s) will not be performed, despite having parental consent. You can find age requirements for piercings on our Price List. For tattoos, age requirements may vary based on the artist and the design you have in mind. Please inquire directly with the tattoo artist of your choice.
