Piercing Age Requirements: What You Need to Know

A piercing can be a beautiful form of self-expression, but it's an important decision that requires careful consideration. At Aramat Jewels, we strive to provide you with all the necessary information before you take this step. Here's a comprehensive overview of age-related considerations and guidelines.

Legal Provisions and Age Restrictions

Each country or region has specific laws regarding piercings, with the health and well-being of young people as a priority. In the Netherlands, you can find information about the legal regulations for piercings .

1. Earlobe piercings

Allowed for all ages, but require parental permission for young children.

2. Cartilage piercings & Nose piercings

Usually allowed between 12 and 16 years old, with supervision or permission of a parent.

3. Navel, Tongue & Eyebrow Piercings

Often considered more drastic, with age limits ranging between 16 and 18 depending on the region.

Personal Considerations

1. Maturity & Responsibility

Take good care of your piercing. Make sure you or your child is ready for this responsibility.

2. Growth spurts

Young people are still growing, so this can affect the placement of piercings.

3. Activities and Lifestyle

Consider whether a piercing suits your lifestyle, especially if you participate in contact sports, for example.

Aftercare and Safety

Good care is essential to prevent infection and complications. Be extra careful in the first few weeks after your piercing.

1. Cleansing routine

Use a saline solution to clean the piercing daily.

2. Avoid Swimming

Chlorine in swimming pools can cause irritation, so avoid swimming until the piercing is fully healed.

3. Do Not Touch
