Md. may fine for piercing minors without parent OK


Associated Press
02/09/10 3:46 AM PST


ANNAPOLIS, MD. — Maryland could fine people who tattoo, body pierce or brand minors without their parents giving in-person written consent, under a bill in the General Assembly.

Maryland Delegate Sue Kullen, D-Calvert, is sponsoring the legislation. In her proposal, people who tattoo, brand or pierce a minor without obtaining in-person written consent from the parent or guardian of the minor would face civil penalties between $300 and $3,000. Ear piercing is excluded from the scope of the legislation.

Current health code regulations in Maryland do not specify any penalties for individuals who tattoo, brand or body-pierce a minor.

A Maryland House of Delegates Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the bill Tuesday afternoon.
