Getting two nose piercings tomorrow. Tipping advice?

The total cost is $50, which includes the jewelry, piercing, etc. I want to tip them, but I’m unsure what should be the correct amount! I’m getting two nose piercings (one on either side). Any advice?

Any advice is appreciated

I got my seconds done in February and this started

within the past 2 months. It's tender but has a hard

crust. It's surgical grade steel and l've been using

saline solution spray but l've reduced usage recently.

Please any advice will be appreciated

Do i have the anatomy for a floating navel piercing?

Hello, I'm planning go get a floating navel as that would appear to be the most appropriate for my anatomy as my stomach folds slightly.

However the way my belly button connects is a bit odd as the top part of the connecting tissue has a little bit of a bulge/ droop ( i will indicate said bulge in pictures) if any piercers could kindly help that will be greatly appreciated.

Advice piercing story

DV/SA survivor. I hope I’m in the right place. I am still learning here. I have some questions. It has to be this ear only. One of piercings is still healing. I would like to re-design all styles and possibility adding new piercings (maybe daith?) to represent symbolize, placement or story just like some people with tattoos. (No tattoo for me). I prefer gold. I am open to your discussions. Please be kind. 💜💚

Should I be worried?

This is my first helix piercing and I was told this would be especially hard to heal because my cartilage is thicker than average - I got the piercing on Thursday and I’ve been super careful not to sleep on it and I’ve been using just a saline rinse twice a day- it’s red and the whole bar is basically covered and tbh it hurts pretty bad 😭 is this just the normal first few days for one of these or should I be worried about it?

Is this normal??

I got this bridge piercing in may, haven’t had any problems with it until recently. There was inflammation around the piercing hole on the left side , I’ve noticed this for about 2-3 weeks now (could of possibly been like that for longer although I dought it) , and starting around yesterday, I noticed that this inflammation is on both sides now. Should I be worried???

1 month old eyebrow piercing

I could be overthinking, but I need help figuring out if it looks normal for this stage? I haven’t been using q-tips or touching it but I clean it by rinsing it with water once a day and saline once a day.
• a little over 1 month
• barbell
• hasn’t been downsized

Been trying to get my vch for 2 years

I was suppose to get it 2 years ago.

So my fiance and I went out to eat since your suppose to eat before, and I booked it a few months before, when we got there the guy told us they were out of the jewlery, he never called me to tell me hey we are out of jewlery u can make another appointment or we will call u when we have more jewlery in.

We both left disappointed especially me. I added a bad review of my experience. That was back in 2024.

so I made an appointment for this other places and July 29th they called me and told me they didn't do piercings any more and I asked why.

He said the piercer is retiring so when I got off the phone I looked for a new place right away called them and found a new place.

The places in my town don't do the vch piercing and I really don't want to go down to the cities to get one. If this one does something simliar.

Industrial piercing day 5

Can I take my industrial piercing out after 5 days? I realized this piercing wasn't for me and I didn't want to go through the healing process. It is currently swollen and reddish, but nothing unusual. It hurts like hell of course, but that is something I was aware it would happen.

Online Piercing Course?

I am a tattoo apprentice at a tattoo shop in DFW. Our shop doesn't currently have a piercer and I want to learn and fill that role here while I'm working on improving my tattoo skill as well.

I see there are some online courses that offer piercing certification. Anyone have any experience with those? Worth it or better off to just watch YouTube videos?

I think it would be difficult, if not impossible, to apprentice with a piercer at another shop while fulfilling my duties here.

Help with ear mapping!

Please Help!! I've been having trouble figuring out what piercings to get out next but i like to plan out beforehand. I'm open to more unique piercings like an industrial, snug or a contra conch but couldn't figure out what to do. I feel like my left ear (1st pic) is lacking a lot. Anyone have any suggestions??

Recommendations for septum piercing

I'm new to Reddit. I'm thinking of getting my septum pierced. I'm seeking recommendations for a piercer or shop, in Malden, MA, or the Greater Boston Area. I'm limited to the T for transit.

Industrial vs. Separate Piercing Cost

hi! i was wondering if anyone has experience asking for the separate helix piercings rather than the full industrial piercing. if so, did you have a hard time getting the piercer to say yes? was the cost the same? are piercers open to getting the cost reduced considering it’s basically an industrial, but with two separate pieces of jewelry? my local shop is $80 for an industrial but $120 for two separate piercings, latter of which will be a little more difficult to afford. thank you!
