Can you get a body piercing with your parents' consent if your under the legal age in Pennsylvania?

Answer 1

Well a little common sense needs to be used. See here's the deal with minors, they are still growing and developing. With tattoos this can be an issue for the skin, with piercings it's an over all issue with body development. I would recommend against stretching any piercings until the individual is 18 ~ 19 years old, at this point the development is almost complete except for muscle development and skull development ( the skull plates don't knit until your early to mid 30's ).

You don't want to get too carried away with stretching or tattoos because one doesn't know what life has to offer yet. Last thing you want to do is start shooting your self in the foot before you even get out of the gate. Keeping tattoos and piercing down to a level where they can be concealed is a good way to go and a wise decission.

Parents need to talk to there kids and be sure the kids are using developing the common sense to make good decisions. Research what they want and where to get it and always keep a sense of balance in play when deciding what's best.

Answer 2

Body Piercing facilities are inspected by the local health protection and inspection office and are licensed by the local city hall business licensing department. Listed in the yellow pages under heading of "Body Piercing" and or "Tattoos". All Body Piercing and Tattoo studios have age limits set by the licensing agency so age limits can vary from town to town and city to city. Prices for piercings can also vary from shop to shop as well as the requirements for parental consent. Your best bet is to call your local city hall business licensing office and ask about age requirements for your area. Then call the local studios listed and ask about shop policies and prices.

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).
