I did. I ask everyone I know what could happen, and everyone has a different story. That's why I came on here...you people actually know what you're talking about, everyone else just pulls it out of their ass.

WOW! Thank you for that whole damn thing of info. That's helpfull...but damn. I'm screwed... 
You have broken the law each and everytime you have pierced one of your friends, even if they had permission because you were not 18, and it cannot be done in a residence. I cited the laws. Do your parents know you are doing this? I would suggest you go to the police and talk to their officer that works with youth and ask if there is a diversion program, because you have been getting so many different storys, if you get caught, it could affect your whole future. They can inform you how your community handles these issues. Your friend's parents can sue your's.ShockTreat9 said:I did. I ask everyone I know what could happen, and everyone has a different story.

Well actually...I'm already in the diversion program...and my parents know I was piercing. My mom helped me buy the needles. About how much money do you think they could sue my parents for??
Piercing with screws can be very painfulShockTreat9 said:WOW! Thank you for that whole damn thing of info. That's helpfull...but damn. I'm screwed...
but at least you are too young to get pierced you know where .Read my other post and call the police. You will avoid more problems by being forthright about what you did, than denying or avoiding it and more likely to encounter understanding. Take this as a wakeup call and an opportunity for a fresh start. It is possible, that if you act like an adult, her parents may be forgiving although you may have to make some restitution. Keep us updated, and best to start your own thread. I let you hijack this one because you were young and sincere.

(Piercing with screws?? What?!) Well thank you guys for helping me. I came across this site looking for those MN rules for piercing, that was a big help.

you better let her read the laws. If you are already in a diversion program, you should contact your PO or what/who ever and inform them of these recent events.ShockTreat9

To original OP, if its that small she can just wear bracelets and get over it until she makes enough money to have it removed.

Piercing
Not a legal point, but why is that? Because a pierced earlobe is more mainstream and socially acceptable in our society? IMHO, they're both mutalation. Putting extra holes in one's body to adorn it with trinkets is barbaric 
Though I will admit that earings don't gross me out like the other piercings.

Actually body mutilations and tattoos are not barbaric at all.Rich Uncle said:
They have been practiced by mankind since its beginning. Instead of barbaric, it is rather normal.
(I have no ink or unnatural holes on my body, but I did watch a PBS special so therefore I am an expert.)
