How old do you have to be to get a piercing in Indiana?

Question

I want a lip piercing, or nose piercing. How old do you have to be to get one in Indiana. And do they hurt?

Answer 1

In Indiana you have to be 18 without parental consent. If you do have parental consent and you are under 18, there is LEGALLY no minimum age in Indiana. However, most piercers have standards of what age they will do piercings. For the nostril I usually set the minimum in my shop at 13, and for the lip I set the limit at 15. If you are under 18 and your parent brings you, you will need a photo ID, your parent needs a photo ID, and you need to bring your birth certificate.



Please make sure that you know the risks and permanent effects of these piercings ahead of time.



All piercings hurt to some degree :) I think the nostril is slightly more painful than the lip, but it is worth it.

Answer 2

you have to be 14 with parental consent...i had to wait til i turned 14 to get my snakebites done in indiana...oh and the lip piercing doesnt hurt that bad..the only part that hurts is the clamps..you should be alright

Answer 3

I think as long as your with an adult you can do it at 16.. i got mine i live in Missouri and im 16, my mom came along. Uhh lip piercings dont hurt, i have two. i thought it was going to.. but it was a really quick sharp pain lasted like 1 second.. didnt hurt at all.. you got to really take care of your lipring though

Answer 4

pretty much everywhere you go in america you have to have an adult with you to give consent to it (at least at any good, safe and clean shop). if you're 18 then you don't need an adult (duh haha). just make sure you have photo id (driver's license, permit, state id), your parent has your id and your birth certificate or certificate of legal guardianship. hope this helps, good luck on your piercings!
