3. The HIV Virus cannot be transmitted from massage oil.

I'm a masseur. How do I verify my photos?

The idea behind the verification is for the benefit of clients. So they can feel comfortable that the person in the photo is who they will be seeing when the door is opened.

Generally we verify a face and body shot.

You will need to be in shorts and a tank top.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Verifying your photos is easy and quick but will require you to verify your identity.

Take a selfie while holding up a piece of paper with your username written on it. The Selfie should show clearly show your body shape and face so we can compare to the ones on your profile.

Contact us via our support page if you have any questions.

Note: Not all photos can be effectively verified. The final decision is left up to our support team
