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.
The same as for any, Really just depends where you live and the state lawsBody 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. What you may want may not be legal in your area so call and check with your local studios.Age limits can vary from city to city and state/province to state/province, contact your local body piercing studios (under the yellow pages "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). Jzuk
A child may have his/her ears pierced at any age with parental consent in Washington State. At the age of 16, the child does not need parental consent for ear piercing. Body piercing requires consent up to the age of 18.
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.
