Belly button piercing
17/f
I want to get my belly button pierced. I live in California. Do you have to be 18 to get one? Or do I have to have a parent with me?
My mom would probably go with me if that's the case but also, any tips on how to take care of it?
Thanks!

As a body piercer and tattooist for the past 6 years, it all depends on the state you live in. I have lived in several different states, and each one has different laws about body modifications and age limits. Some can be 14 WITH parental consent while other states require you to be 18 years of age, whether you have parental consent or not. The best advice I can give you for this in terms of getting it done is call your local body art/modifications shops (best to call several, as some shops, even if you were to have parental consent may still deny to do it on a minor) and ask them. As for caring for it, it's quite simple, while in the shower, ensure to get it nice and wet, then after the crusties have moistened enough to properly wash it, put some dial or proven soap on it, and move your piercing in and out, working the soap into it. Then be sure to rinse thoroughly with the same technique. Be sure to have it fully rinsed as leaving soap inside may cause infection. Also, after you get a piercing, most piercers give their client a "how to care for your piercing" pamphlet, giving you a nicely detailed description on how to fully care for your piercing(s) as well as some supplements you can take to help the healing process.
