Answer 1

ewww dats disgusting, why would u bother n plus ur parents will find out straight away did u eva think bout dat

Answer 2

Most states you'll have to be at least 16 even with parental consent since that is considered a cartilage piercing. Also, your 19 yr old brother would have to show proof of guardianship in order to sign for you to have it done.

If you're really such a great kid then just ask your mom and get in touch with a local piercing parlor about their policies. Personally, I wouldn't trust any place that says they'll do it if you're under 16 because its just shady as anything.

Answer 3

whats a tragus?

Answer 4

In most states, you have to have a legal guardian sign for permission if you're under eighteen. I'm not sure where you live, but if you're under eighteen, and you're brother approves this piercing, I'm sure you could get it.

To get an answer locally, you could call some piercing shops near you, and ask what their rules are for getting it pierced!

Good Luck!
