Consent form for nose piercing what age can you have piercings

How old do you have to be to get a nose piercing?

You must be at least 18 years old to get a nose piercing. However, if you can convince your parents that it is a very good idea for you to get a nose piercing, it is legally possible under certain conditions to get a piercing at 16 or even 14 years old. The same applies to ear lobe punching for plugs and tunnels, although only a few studios offer this for under-18s.

Piercing from 16 with consent

If your parents agree to your desire for a piercing, you can get pierced at the piercing studio even at 16 with a written consent form from them and your ID card. You can find templates for these consent forms on the website of almost every piercing. Print it out, fill it in, and have one or both parents sign it.

Getting a nose piercing at 14 in the presence of parents

If you can not only convince your parents but also persuade them to come with you to the nose piercing studio, then according to the law you can get pierced from the age of 14. However, at least one parent must be present.

Getting your ears pierced – also possible earlier

You can also get a classic earring, like the one you need for earrings and fake plugs, pierced earlier if your parents are there. Many piercers and jewelers offer this for children from the age of 6.

Parents forbid piercing – fake piercings as an alternative

If your parents forbid you from getting a piercing, you still have the option of wearing piercing jewelry. Namely in the form of fake piercings. These are available for practically all parts of the body, such as the lip, nose, and of course the ear. You can buy them freely, even if you are younger than 14 years old, and they look like real piercings.

EU Directive 94/27/EC – For high-quality standards in piercing jewelry

EU Directive 94/27/EC specifies the maximum amount of nickel particles that can be contained in jewelry, especially initial jewelry. This directive is very strict. The piercing jewelry we offer is still well below the specified EU limits, making it particularly suitable for allergy sufferers.

The LMBG (= Food and Consumer Goods Act) and LFGB (= Food and Feed Code) also regulate the handling of nickel content in products. Strict penalties follow if the applicable regulations are not complied with. These legal texts are used primarily by the employees of the regulatory authorities to check earrings and other jewelry. Section 5 of the LMBG is the legal basis for t
