Question: How old do you have to be to get your tongue pierced?

Answer: According to Arizona Law (A.R.S. § 13-3721) it is a class 6 felony for anyone to pierce any part of anyone's body if they are under 18 without their parents present (the only exception are your ears). So you can get your tongue pierced if you are under 18 only if your parents come along (a note is not good enough).

I live in oklahoma and I wanted my nose pierced, but when I got there they said I had to be 16 and I had a parent with me too. I thought that it was just what that place decided but I don't know.
