Can I get a lip piercing in Minnesota at 16 with parental consent?

People at my school tell me that I can't get a lip piercing until I'm 18, even with parental consent. I've looked on the Minnesota body art laws and it says this "As of July 1, 2010, you MAY get a piercing. BUT, you will need parental/guardian consent AND your parent/guardian must be present during the procedure. You CANNOT get the following, even with consent: nipple piercing, genital piercing, branding, scarification, suspension, subdermal implantation, microdermal, or tongue bifurcation." Has this law been changed since then? And also, I looked most of these up and I don't think a lip piercing is any of these. I also looked on BodyCandy.com and they said in Minnesota you can get one at 16 with parental consent. My friends might just be stupid, but I just want to make sure. Can you get a professionally done lip piercing at 16 with parental consent in Minnesota legally?

I don't know about Minnesota, but I know that in British Columbia you can get one at 16 with parental consent. I was 17 when I got mine, and my mom had to come with me. It is not any of the piercings on that list, so it should be fine. But make sure that you are totally set on it because piercings are just as permanent as tattoos. The hole will always be there, even if you take it out. Make sure you LOVE it!
