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).

In the UK, there are no specific laws regulating body piercings. However, many local councils have their own bylaws governing the practice, including age restrictions and hygiene standards. It is advisable to check with your local council or piercing studio for specific regulations. It is also illegal to perform piercings on anyone under the age of 16 without parental consent.

Are eye piercings against your civil rights?

Discrimination is something you just need to get over if you want body piercings, people will be nice to you however there is no law saying they have to give you a job or do anything for you if you have piercings. Bottom line if you are working ask your employer "before" you get a piercing, if you are looking for work better be prepared to loose the piercing if you want a job. Human rights has nothing to do with body piercings and in a world filled with race, religion and cultural discrimination your piercings and you choice to have them are way down on the list. I have owned a body piercing studios for over 15 years and I still don't get the respect I deserve from the business community, it is what it is.
