Well i wanted to get a tongue piercing and over here it is 60 euros which is like 70 dollars i guess. And i was wondering how much is it to get pierced where you live?

o heck no! i paid $45 for my tongue...ive never heard of them being more than $60 thats CRAZY!! for a tongue it should not be that much. it only costs about 50 cents for the equipment they use! thats so crazy that theyre trying to charge you that much.

yh i also think so but it was the price to make the hole and came with 2 sprays to help it heal faster.

I paid over $50 for having both of my ears pierced. I think piercing a tongue takes more skill so that sounds reasonable.

It really just depends on the shop and the jewelry you pick. Most places here have "standard" jewelry that is included in the piercing price and those are pretty basic, like 3mm stainless balls or teeny little gemstones, or you can upgrade to something more flashy for more money. It was like ... *counts on fingers* 7 years ago that I got my lip done but I think it was like $20. Then I got my tragis and naval done at the same time last fall and that was $35 for the two, at a different shop.

It was £40 to get my tongue pierced and pure agony!! Same again with my belly button. Then to get my ears pierced was about £5 10 years ago. And i got the top of my right ear done 2 yrs ago which cost £10. Piercings are expensive as well as painful but i love having them

It depends on what you are getting pierced and where you get it done..when I got my belly done a second time a few yrs ago when I was still living in Canada I also got a "hood" piercing and the two cost me $50-60 total if I remember correctly....the place I'm going to next is here in NY and I forget the prices..I have their brochure somewhere though...
