There are actually 2 costs with piercings
- the site cost and the jewelry cost. The site cost depends
on where on your body you get pierced. For example, ear and
nose piercings usually cost less than tongue, nipple, or genital
piercings. Gold jewelry costs more than stainless steel or
another metal. You should shop around and check prices at
different piercing salons before you decide on where to have
your piercing done.
