It depends on where you go to get it pierced..I know that you have to be 13 to get it pierced in Claires, even with a parents consent..I got mine pierced at a stand in my mall called "Pierce and Tell" and they didn't even ask how old I was like Claires did...
It really just depends on the state you live and the laws.
I have my and im 13, then again I was allowed to.
Just what ever you do, do not do it yourself or have a friend do it.
GET IT DONE BY A PRO!
any age!! everyone in my school that is a girl has it......ages 10-15
In most places, you have to be 18 years old. If you are younger, then you need parental consent. But I highly suggest researching getting a piercing before you decide that's what you want.
Try looking up this website...

It really doesn't matter, as long as you have parent consent. Although, some places say you have to be 13+ to get it done.
If you aren't sure maybe call the place and ask.
You can get it done by a professional at a tattoo shop, or even a spa. That's where I get mine. (As long as they are certified in it,you're fine)
Don't go to Claires or somewhere like that. Sometimes, the people that do it aren't experienced believe it or not, and I have had friends with bad pierceings. It's gross too.
(Get it on the side you DON'T sleep on!!! It'll be painful to sleep on it)
Body Piercing Guidelines or "I want a piercing, now what"
- All Body Piercing studios are regulated and work under regional and local health and city licensing regulations.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- 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).
I have 4 piercings on each of my ears 3 on the lobes and the 4th is on the cartilage. I got all of them done at Claires in the mall but they did say that i couldn't get a cartilage piercing under the age of 13. Yet they still went and pierced me. So i guess you could say the age would be 13 but it really depends on where you go and where you live.
Really depends how old you are and where you go If you go to Claire's you need to be 13
you have to be 13 to get it done at claires so i had to get my 3rds done insted
