Getting your first piercing can be exciting. Maybe you've wanted your ears pierced for years, you're considering a nose stud, or you've started exploring the different types of ear piercings you see online.
It's also completely normal to have questions.
How much will it hurt? How much does a piercing cost? What jewelry should you choose? How long does it take to heal? And how do you find a piercing shop near you that explains the process clearly?
At Stick’em Up Piercings, a new piercing shop serving Gastonia and Charlotte, North Carolina, we want customers to understand what they're choosing before their appointment.
Our advertised starting prices are $10 for skin piercings and $15 for oral piercings. Your final price depends on the piercing, jewelry, and any additional charges, so ask for a clear quote before proceeding.
This guide walks you through the first piercing experience, from choosing a placement to caring for your new jewelry.
