Under UK piercing laws, there are restrictions on piercings in certain areas of the body. Under the age of 16, girls are not allowed to get their nipples or genitals pierced, even when consenting, as this can be classed as indecent assault. Boys under this age are allowed to get their nipples pierced but the same rule applies to genital piercing. Any studio or professional who says they will do this procedure when you are under age should be avoided at all costs. If caught breaking UK piercing laws, the individual or business can be prosecuted.
However, there are no restrictions on ear, nose, lip or tongue piercings so it is perfectly fine to get these if you want one done. |
