Can a 12 year old get a belly button piercing? In many areas where regulation exists, 16 is the minimum age for navel piercing. Even if it is legal, as a highly experienced professional who cares about my clients, I would decline to pierce the navel of someone so young.
In respect to this, what is the appropriate age to get a belly button piercing?
While the most popular age group for belly button piercing is between the ages of 16-24, some places claim to have pierced the navels of girls as young as 10. While most states have laws that would require a parent’s signature and approval for something like this, according to piercers it does happen.
Once skin has grown around that tunnel where the piercing was and had years to settle, it won’t close on its own. The good news is that if you truly want it closed, visit a local Plastic Surgeon.
