the Cost of Ear Piercing

I waited until a local piercing shop was having an annual "Free piercing with jewelry" sale (NOT like the one's in the mall that always have free "gun" piercings with jewelry) and decided to go get two more holes in my upper ear.

The piercer was very professional, I chose two appropriately sized plain silver rings and he pierced me, gave me complete aftercare instructions and cleaning supplies in a very friendly manner.

A great shop, very clean, down to earth and friendly even while every other person in there had quite a few more piercings or tattoos than I did. I had no trouble at all with my healing process and the jewelry is still working for me almost two years later.

When getting pierced it's really important to eat first, be in relatively good health and be prepared to put some effort into the healing process. It's going to take a few weeks before your body is back to normal, be ready to make compromised about sleeping positions, food or clothing choices and plan on spending some time dealing with your new adornment. Follow all the directions from your piercer and call if there are problems. Wait for sales if you're looking for a deal, don't go to a cheap shop.
