A piercing tattoo shop won't take a kid who walks in off the street without an adult especially if she's 12.
A 12 year old will have a difficult time to get to that shop if the parent isn't driving them and plopping down the $50+ it costs to get some of these piercings.
That's clearly a parental mistake IMO.

and what is this 12 yr old going to do when they get the big NO from the parents? By the time a child is that old, they are going to do what they're going to do whether you like it or not.. if I were in that situation.. (and I was) I would offer to pay for her to have it done in a professional manner instead of her going behind my back and getting a friend to do it.
My 14 yr old daughter taunted me a little by saying she wanted to get her nose pierced.. she thought I'd be mortified.. well.. actually I was.. but I said to her.. sure.. I'll make an appointment for you, and we'll get it done tomorrow.. she said.. well no, I don't want it done yet, I'm still thinking about it..
she never did it.. thank goodness..
See, I was relying on what I'd instilled in her when she was younger.. whew.. being a parent is hard!
