How old do you have to be to have your tongue peirced?

Answer 1

Old enough to fully understand all the implications of having this done.

In the United States, for the most part, the legal age is 18 without a parent or guardian.

that is dangerous the stud or whatever you have in your tongue could fall out and you could choke on it getting your tongue pierced is stupid ears yes but tongue that's fool hearty

It is not dangerous as long as you tighten the ball everynight.The ball is also not big enough to choke on. If you know how to care for it is very safe
16 is a standard basic age for tongue piercing with parental consent. No one will pierce a tongue younger than that due to the level of facialdevelopment. The jaw and face are still growing and changes are still occurring orally, so piercing a tongue younger than 16 is professionally wrong.

Answer 2

Call your local tattoo shop and talk to their piercer they can tell you the age. In most states (assuming you live in the U.S.) you need to be 18 to get a piercing without parental consent and you also need to be 18 for any genital piercings (girls need to be 18 to get nipple piercings).

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. What you may want may not be legal in your area so call and check with your local studios.
2. Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellow pages "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).Jzuk

Answer 4

Usually you need to be 18 by yourself, and 16 with a parent. That's how it usually goes. You will need to get it done by a tattoo shop, so call them to check before going. :)

WRONG! you have to be 16 for any piercing, you stop needing parental consent after 16.

Contact your local Professional body piercing studios or local health unit they will advise you what the age requirements are for your area.
