Listed below are the 50 United States and their regulations if any, with the bill number, and website URL. To research the contents of the bill(s), go to the website of the state. Type the bill number in the search block and it will pull up the contents of the bill(s). Once there, many states allow you to search for legislation by keywords. Type in ‘body piercing’ or ‘body+piercing.’ (If it doesn’t come up, try ‘tattooing.’ Sometimes they are lumped together.) This method also works for county and city searches, since many local areas now have ordinances as well. If your local area and state both have regulations, the stricter ones will apply.
