We often get asked what age can I get my Tongue pierced?
Well here's the True answer in Wales at least.
Prohibition on the intimate piercing of persons under the age of 18 years in Wales From 1 February 2018, it is an offence under the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017
- To perform an intimate piercing on a child in Wales.
- It is also an offence to ‘make arrangements’ to perform an intimate piercing on a child in Wales.
- A child for the purposes of the prohibition is any person who is under the age of 18. ‘Making arrangements’ is when a person has indicated that they are prepared to undertake a piercing on a particular person under the age of 18 in Wales.
- It does not matter whether the arrangement is in return for payment, and could include making an appointment for an intimate piercing without checking the client’s age first.
- A person if found guilty of either offence is liable to an unlimited fine.
