The aim is to protect children and young people from the potential health harms which can be caused by an intimate piercing, and to avoid circumstances where children and young people are placed in a potentially vulnerable situation.  These provisions seek to reduce the incidence of body piercing-related complications (including infections and injuries) amongst young people whose bodies are still maturing, and who may be less adept at keeping up with aftercare requirements.
