Body Piercing Guidelines or "I want a piercing, now what"

  1. All Body Piercing studios are regulated and work under regional and local health and city licensing regulations.
  2. Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellowpages "Body Piercing" ) they will tell you what the age limits are for your area.
  3. Identification is aways needed (Birth certificate, Student card, Drivers license) Parental consent is consent from the legal parents (Mother or Father). Grand parents, Sister, Brother, Second Cousin twice removed doesn't cut it sorry. Unless they are your legal guardians assigned by the courts and have documented proof or this, it just won't work.
  4. Prices for piercings vary from shop to shop and city to city. Be sure you phone and ask them what the total price is including any *aftercare solutions they may try to sell you (* Professional body piercing studios won't try to sell you aftercare solution, they will recommend cleansers and soaps but that's it if you want it they will sell it but they will not force you to buy it.)
  5. Do your research, check these places out and find a studio that you are comfortable with, talk to the piercer and discuss you wishes. If at any time you feel like you are being ignored or rushed leave, find somewhere else. Good shops will be busy, but they will also want you to book your appointment, this way they have there full attention on you not everyone else who is asking questions (that's a good thing).

There Are Many Different Answers To This Question This All Depends On What State You Live In, For Instance There Maybe A Legal Age Before You Are Allowed This Piercing But In Other States There Is No "Actual" Minimum Age. Most states have set the minimum age at 18 for any piercing other then the ear lobe.

Usually Only Parental Consent Is Needed & It Also May Vary With Different Piercers As They May Class You As Too "Young"

Most studios won't pierce anyone under 16 without parental concent and even if you do have concent, most studios don't pierce people under 14. If you come across a piercing studio that doesn't ask for your age/ID, then they're not very professional, and I would avoid them.

well my mom wants me to be super pretty so im 14 and i got a lip job when i was 12 and next year i get a boob job!!!!! yay!!!! omg cant wait its gonna be killa --------------------------- Different regions have different laws regarding plastic surgery. In most regions, you will need parental consent if you are not a legal adult. Typically, it will be at the doctor's discretion if you are eligible for a lip job.

Totally up to the parents and it can be a mature 12 or 13 year old who can be responsible enough to take care of it. The point is that if they can get it pierced they would just have to take responsibility.

Old enough to know that it needs to be done by a professional, so grab the phone book and call your local body piercing studios. They will tell you what the age requirements are for your area.
