Infection liability, gotta be old enough to sign that you won't sue for infection or disfigurement.
I think your parent can sign those for you though
Parent can let you get anything if they let you. You mist be 18 to do it for yourself.
Sure but it’s actually legal, a parent can’t legally buy you cigarettes or alcohol for example.
parents can booze-up their kids in wisconsin, as long as it's in their presence.
I think that's most states. As long as the parent is still responsible for the kid drinking and they stay home.
In Wisconsin you can bring them into a bar and buy them a drink.
You can also do this in Texas but the business can refuse the sale.
I can guarantee you that is not true, at least not in every state.
Suing for infection? It's practically impossible to prove an infection was from an error by the piercer. It's more likely the person just didn't clean it properly.
In the US, nearly anyone can sue for nearly anything. It doesn't mean that they would win, but it can make life very painful for the party being sued.
Hence the waivers
