Why are the prices so varied?
I mean...when I had my ears done the prices depended on the earring, and the most expensive earring I got was £13 which I thought was a bit extortionate. But then my friend said her lip piercing was £30 D:
I've wanted to get my lip done for ages but now I'm gonna have to wait even longer to save up if what she said is true. But I don't know if these prices slide as well.
Does anyone know the usual price? Ty<3

I think the estimate for a lip piercing in southern Indiana, where I am, is about $45 or $50. My bellybutton piercing was $40, and that was mostly the surgical steel barbell.
Piercings in places besides the ears are more expensive for a few reasons:
-The piercer has to be more qualified.
-Other peircings often require more skill to do; the ears are very simple.
-The bar/ring/whatever is usually higher gauge, and therefore more metal and so more expensive than earrings.
I'm sure there are other reasons, but those are some of the main ones for the price change. :3

I'm sure there are other reasons, but those are some of the main ones for the price change. :3 wrong; the piercer doesnt get "qualified" they take apprenticeship and work their way up. 99.9% of gauges are 14...no bigger unless gauging the piercing done before. and the bars/rings are made differently and may have different suppliers; thus different priceings.

my MinD xX __ Where I live it's 15 dollars to get your ears pierced. So you can get your ears pierced 4 times here for 30 dollars.
Only 5 dollars more. I'm sure where you live getting your lip or your bellybutton pierced is more.
The reason why it costs more for lip piercings than ear piercings are because of the strategy.
You can get your ears pierced with a gun, even your cartridge. But you have to use a actual piercing needle to pierce anything else. Plus, you need professional people to do it. Since those parts of your body can get infected more easily than your ears (Except cartridge.)
So you pay more for the help, and the needles, etc. I've never seen a heart that I couldn't break.

In New Mexico, one lip piercing is $32.
I have a ring on both sides of my lower lip, so it was $64.
A belly-button piercing is $40.

It's outrageous how much piercings cost. I had 10 at one point (two in each ear lobe, upper ear, nose, lip, tongue, eyebrow, belly button) and it cost A LOT for a few. Others, I did myself, but I WOULD NOT recommend it at all!! I guess if you really want it... like REALLY!!!! want it, save up the money.
