I believe that it is the same anywhere in the US. 16 with parent/guarding consent, 18 without it. That goes for any piercings, except ear lobes which can be done with a gun (the only piercing that is done with a gun). But you'll still need parental consent.
In New York a lot of shops will do ear piercings as young as 16, but they prefer you to be 17, and you would need to have all proper consent from your parents. For that you would need to bring both of them with you, you will need to bring some form of ID, they will need their ID's, a copy of your Birth Certificate, they will have to sign a waiver, be present in the room for the piercing, as well as to be present afterwards when you are given and explained to your aftercare instructions.
There is no specific legal age for ear piercing as it varies by country and state. In some places, parental consent may be required for minors to get their ears pierced. It is important to check the laws in your specific area regarding ear piercing for minors.
In Washington state, there is no specific legal age for ear piercing. However, most professional piercing studios require individuals to be at least 18 years old or have parental consent if they are younger. It's best to check with individual studios for their specific age requirements.
In New Hampshire, it is legal to try on pierced earrings as long as the proper hygiene practices are followed. It is recommended to use disposable or sanitized ear piercing studs and to clean the earrings before and after trying them on to prevent any risk of infection.
