Answer:
In New Hampshire, tattooing anyone under the age of eighteen is not allowed. For body piercing, a minor can get pierced only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. The law requires that the parent or guardian must be present when the piercing is done. They must also provide proof of their relationship and sign a document stating they are the parent or guardian of the minor receiving the piercing. This consent must specify the location of the piercing. Additionally, records of the piercing must be kept for at least seven years.
