Can a ten year old get a belly pierce?

Answer 1

Piercing the navel of anyone under the age of 15 is generally the call of the professional body piercer doing the piercing and is based on the level of development of the individual who is getting the piercing. Several things come in to play, maturity of the person getting pierced and the physical development of that person. Too often young girls who want there navel pierced just are not mature enough to look after the piercing to avoid infections, cross contamination and promote general good piercing health.

This is a fact, it's not fiction. The last thing any professional body piercer wants to do is to preform a piercing on someone who clearly isn't smart enough or focused enough to look after the piercing. The next point is how developed is the navel, if the navel is too shallow due to the level of growth of the person wanting the piercing then the piercing will end up being too shallow and much more subject to irritation and infection from the irritation.

It's best to wait a year and look at the navel after a year of growing has taken place. Rushing in to s piercing where the conditions are not right or conducive to proper healing is just a waste of time, money and effort. That's why professional body piercers reserve the right to refuse to pierce anyone they feel is not ready to look after or retain a piercing. So if you get sent away now you know what the reasons may be, so you are not too disappointed, it could simple just be a matter of time.

Not without parental permission.

Anyone who does this without the knowledge of the parents would be liable to be charged with child endangerment and child battering among other charges,

Answer 3

Its a surface piercing so It'll take at least 6-9 months to heal completely. You can change the bar after 2-3 months. Usually, 11 year olds cant get navel piercings. The youngest I've seen in a professional shop is 13. Just call around to local shops and see what they say :)
