I tip mine .. only cause I love him so much .. he's the greatest

I tip my tattooist as well .. he does a lot of stuff on me for free so I have to tip something .. I usually tip my piercer $10 ... my tattooist $10 to $20 .. if they do shitty work I wouldn't tip them so much but I have no complaints about my piercer

i have never tipped a piercer. i feel bad now. but then again, i don't have a regular piecer that i always go to. i don't even know how to go about tipping. do you just casually slip them $10 afterwards?

Yeah I have a regular piercer .. I trust him piercing just about anything .. plus I'm in there way too much lol I just hand him the money and when he attempts to give me change back I tell him not to worry about it ... my tattooist hates taking tips .. he argues and tries to give the money back lol

but all the places i have gone to, i've had to pay before i got my piercings done. unless i tip them before, which would not make sense.

Oh, they get me to pay afterwards .. that way if they "mess up" or you're not happy with the piercing/tattoo they can adjust the price or whatever. When I had my tongue pierced though, I paid up front .. but that was a different place. Just depends on where you go I guess ..

Go to an actual piercing studio, not Claires or anything like that .. it's better to get it done with a needle, not the gun .. heals better and less stress on your ears .. they normally cost about $30-$40 depending where on your ear .. there's tons of places to pierce on an ear .. if you're gonna get one ear pierced .. get two .. sexier

each ear lobe cost $40. i didn't think it would be that much. i was planning on getting 4, but i didn't really want to waste $160, so i only got 2.
jonathan, didn't you say you wanted to get your cartilage done? i think that costs about $55.

If it's your first piercing ..you might not want to start with the cartiledge .. any cartiledge piercing will hurt like a bitch .. and cartiledge piercings are hard to take care of .. after 6 years I lost one hole, it closed (i think) and the other one is finally healed ...

you're getting two cartilege piercings? intersting. and my piercings (lobe) were 12 bucks each, including the earring, and they were 100% fine. sounds like you guys are getting ripped off

grr i'm at lab because i wanted to get some work done, but i can't do any transcribing because my partner didn't copy the tape, so i am doing that now, and i can't get letters ready to be mailed because the secretary is still trying to find more people for me to send letters to.
so i'm basically wasting time...and i feel bad about it because i should be doing something but i have nothing to do right now

poor Bethany...
I'm currently undergoing a thorough cleaning of my bedroom. I found a lot of old stuff from years ago. Even my hockey card collection which may now be worth something since it was from like 10 years ago...

It's weird cause I hear all these people saying that they're attracted to people with piercing but yet it has a negative effect on me. Oh well...
I agree.
Xono...I have this problem too. Family here thinks you should be married by 18. I'm an old maid now, no one will have me

ohh sexy Johnathan ... 2 piercings
no we're not getting ripped off by paying that much for ear piercings .. piercings done with a gun wreck havoc on your skin .. just regular lobe piercings are fine with a gun (though I'd still rather get it done professionally and not at a hair studio) .. cartiledge or anywhere else should be done with a needle .. making it more expensive since more care goes into it .. I'd rather pay more for a safer, sterilized (piercing guns aren't sterilized) piercing
Plus a gun tears a hole bigger then what's necessary while forcing the jewellery through .. a needle makes the size the same as the jewellery .. promotes better healing yada yada yada .. I can go about the negative effects of gun piercings lol
