Like I said earlier and like I'll say again.. specify the law to apply to minors. With that clause, there can no longer be any argument that they're "dictating what I do with my body" or even that they're taking away your freedom of expression. They're simply limiting the ability of the parent in speaking for a minor (whom the law already limits). There are things, like a contact, that someone under 18 cannot participate in. In these instances, a mature "adult" (usually their parent) can speak for them and waive that right. In the case of piercing, parents -- in most states -- have to sign a letter of indemnification. MAKE IT SO THAT PARENTS CANNOT SIGN FOR PIERCING GENITALS BEFORE 18.
As an aside, why is touching someone's genitals under the age of 18 -- usually child molestation -- already okay when its for "piercing" purposes?
