Speak Up! - View Question #418 |
 printer friendly version
Question: Are Tattoos and body piercing allowed to be shown? Ok in School?
Answer: Tattoos and body piercing are considered to be an expression of thought and are protected by the first amendment right to free speech (United States Constitution).
However, people under 18, because of their age and status as minors, are subject to rules which adults are not.
This true of school rules and attendance. At school, rules can be made that tattoos, piercing, clothes or hair-color must be covered or changed, and these rules are not unconstitutional.
Parents also have a right to control the behavior of children, and so can order their children to not display tattoos, piercing, or other things such as hair color.
