just in personal opinion? or how old do you actually have to be? you have to be 18 to get pierced or tattooed in most states. some will allow you to be 16 if you have parental permission.

For a belly button piercing I'd say wait until about 15 or 16, most girls have slowed in growing by then and parents and/or guardians are more willing to sign the consent for it at that age, which is required if you are under 18. And tattoos are illegal under 18 now.

I find it hard to put an age on it, but you should be at least 15-16 (or minimum legal age in your state/country)
That's a really general statement because I know girls 18+ who shouldn't even think the idea of getting piercings, and I've seen girls who are 13 who have more responsibility than given credit for. I think it all breaks down to the individual and how responsible you are and whether or not you are willing to take care of the piercing properly. Its not like you get it done and that's that, its a commitment.

18. But, from experience, I would wait until you're 21 or so to make sure that's what you REALLY want. A belly button piercing is easily taken out but a tattoo will be there forever unless you want to laser it off for tons of money later on.

Legally you have to be of consenting age for your state. Most states it is 18. You can however get a piercing with parental consent. Your parent or guardian must be there to sign the release form for you. You cannot however, get a tattoo unless you are of age with our without parental consent.

i believe you should get whatever you want done, only when you are old enough to realize that whatever you are goin to do is permanent. and have completely considered the risks that are involved with piercing and tattoos. and not go and do anything on a whim, or because everyone else is doin it.
*omg i sound like my mother*
but of course you have to also go by state laws, lol.

Well, atleast here inn Florida they pierce your bellybutton at 15 or older but only if you go with a parent or guardian. If you want to do it alone you have to be 18 or older.
