NO!! You are supposed to be 18 to get that done, unless your parents sign for you to do it.

Yes in most states it is law that you must be at least 16 with parental consent and the parent must be present at the time. Even if a parent consents, I would have to say BAD, BAD idea. 15 is way too young to completely understand the possible side effects, and the necessity of taking proper care of a new piercing. I won't lie I have my nose, tongue 2 tragus's, and 7 in my ears. Ears were done throughout highschool. Tongue I was 19 or 20 but when it came to my nose even as simple as that one is I waited til I was 26 and guess what? I took very good care of it, kept it clean but didn't realize the jewelry they used to pierce it with, I was allergice to it. So I still ended up with an infection and let me tell you it SUCKED!!! So I would really consider waiting til they are old enough to be certain of what they would be getting themselves into. And that's advice from a not only a body jewelry seller but I am also a piercer as well!!

Personally I can't stand any piercings other than ears and I didn't even get mine pierced until I was 15 so I'd have to say no.

piercings are just like tattoos they will mark you for life why mess up a beautiful face just because you think it's cool because it's not As you get older and you start looking for a decent job the company will take one look and say Sorry we don't need any help
