The price of a piercing is not just about the hole itself. You are also paying for certified jewelry, hygiene measures, equipment, time, experience, and guidance afterward.


This guide shows you how to read a price list, what is usually included, and which options can make your piercing cost more or less than another. The prices below are based on the simplest type of jewelry in titanium or niobium being included, along with cleaning agent.

What is included?


When comparing piercing prices, you should first check whether the price includes the jewelry and cleanser. A low price may seem tempting, but becomes less relevant if the jewelry, cleanser, or aftercare are included. In addition, the quality of the jewelry will affect the price, and you can read more about jewelry quality here .


The prices below include:


  • Piercing

  • Simplest type of jewelry in titanium ( APP certified ) or niobium

  • After care products

  • Care instructions

  • Post-check


Choosing jewelry in gold, with stones, and more intricate designs increases the total price.


This means that a price of, for example, 1,270 kr for a nostril piercing does not cover all the jewelry choices in the showcase. It covers the standard option that is suitable for the location.


A good rule of thumb is to ask: “How much does this placement cost with the jewelry I actually want?”

Different jewelry for different locations


It is common for the studio to recommend a labret during the healing period, even though many people want a ring from the start. The reason is simple: A ring moves more. The extra movement can extend the healing time and cause irritation. In addition, the curved shape of the ring can put unwanted pressure that can cause scarring.


This does not mean that rings are never used. Daith, septum, prince albert and some other placements can often be set with rings. However, for many placements, a straight or curved bar provides better conditions while the piercing heals.

Compare studios on more than price


It's natural to look at price first, but the cheapest piercing is not always the best deal. A piercing piece should stay in your body while it heals, and the wrong piece or poor placement can cause more irritation than necessary.


Look for this when comparing:


  • Clear price list

  • Jewelry made from suitable, certified materials

  • Sterile disposables where relevant

  • Good explanation of jewelry choices

  • Advice on care and replacement

  • Possibility of follow-up in case of questions

  • Calm and respectful communication


A good studio will also be able to say no to a placement if the anatomy doesn't fit. It can be frustrating in the moment, but it's often a sign of professionalism.


Plan for aftercare and later jewelry replacement


Cleanser is included in the prices above, but aftercare is also about good habits. A new piercing needs rest and a well-functioning immune system. Therefore, you should be extra careful to take care of your body and avoid stress in the months while it heals.


You should be patient when it comes to changing jewelry. This is especially true if you want a ring in a location that should first heal with a bar. Wait until the piercer determines that the piercing can withstand changing.


There may also be a later cost if you need:


  • Shorter rod after swelling

  • Upgrade to another piece of jewelry


This doesn't mean that the piercing will be unpredictably expensive. It just means that a realistic pricing plan should take into account more than just the piercing itself on the first day.


Briefly summarized


Piercing prices vary depending on the placement, jewelry, and how much experience the piercing requires. The prices in this overview include the simplest type of jewelry in titanium or niobium, and cleaning agent. If you choose other suitable jewelry, there will be an additional charge.


The best way to calculate price is simple:


  1. Select location.

  2. Ask which jewelry is recommended during the healing period.

  3. Check what the standard price includes.

  4. Ask for a price on the jewelery you actually want.

  5. Please note that it may be necessary to replace your jewelry later.


Then you will get a piercing that suits your body, style and budget.
