Question

At what age can I legally have my lip pierced?

Answer

The simple answer is that you can get you lip, or any other part of you body, pierced at any age. However, whether or not the piercing salon will do it whilst you're under 18 is down to them. In some areas around the UK, local authorities will only allow piercings to be done within certain age restrictions.

You might also want to discuss this with your parents, if you haven't already done so, as they may be more supportive than you think.
