Well your friend is and idiot, and you would be wise to distance yourself from her and her stupid idea. She knows nothing about body piercing, cross contamination, infection, allergic reactions, sterilization techniques or requirements. So if she pierces you and you become very sick from one of hundreds of viral strains out there and require hospitalization who are your parents going to sue for negligence to pay your medical bills? Your friend?
Please you strike me as a smart bunny, don't do something that stupid, listen to common sense for a moment. You are going to take a perfectly good navel that hasn't been screwed up yet, and damage it by letting your friend pretend to be a qualified and trained professional body piercer.
Once she has subjected you to more pain and discomfort than is necessary (because she hasn't a clue what she is doing) you will wind up with a botched quite possibly infected navel piercing. You are going to have to tell your parents about it because your navel will be infected to the point you are physically sick. (removing the safety pin or what ever garbage she put into your skin won't remove the infection, in fact in may make matters worse).
You parents will be pist, and if you are sick due to an infection they will be more than pist. So do you think they will let you get it pierced professionally after your buddy has messed you up and made you sick due to shear stupidity? I would hazard a guess that your folks would have a hard time trusting you and your word after doing something that stupid, your folks could understand your friend being that stupid but you doing something that bright didn't cross there minds until now.
Was what I said harsh? Yes it was and every bit of it is true, your parents trust you and your developing common sense, don't void there trust. Tell your friend, thanks but no thanks. Sit down with your mom or dad and tell them about what almost happened and tell them the reasons why it didn't (I just wrote them all down for you to repeat to them) .
Then ask her about getting your navel piercing done professionally, chances are really good that she and your dad many opt to let you get it done. But don't do something I know you will regret. Besides that most professional body piercers will refuse to work with damaged navels due to stupidity piercings. Be smart, I know you are, prove it.
The South Carolina state law is that one must be 16 or older, to get their naval pierced. The reason for this is that any given person from 14-15 can still have a growth spurt and would damage the naval area if pierced.
Your parents could feel that your too young or you need to wait also they don't want you to grow up I had to wait till I was 11 to get mine
ummm... i think so but bring them just in case for any approval of any sort
yes he has both ears pierced tattoos and sadly he smokes, too
Many times, the hole will close and you will to get it pierced again. However, sometimes you can still slide it in, it's a case-to-case basis.
i had my navel pierced at 13 and it was done legally with a parents permission
As early as 13 with your parents permission.
Thirteen.
with parents permission you have to be 16+ but without permission you have to be 21+
you have to be 14, in order to get it done without parents permission.
I'm pretty sure if you have parents permission, any age.
18 or with parental consent.
21 years of age with documented proof of age.
Just do it. At 18 you don't need their permission
I think there is not a legal age, but some places, like Claire's, make you have parents permission. At some places you can get it done with no permission.
Mom, can I get my ears pierced.
You can get it pierced at any age with a parents permission. I live in Virginia and the best place to get piercings are at Piercing Pagoda, they will do ANY type of piercing for ANY age !
