Hello. I’m planning my first piercing at a proper salon, but I’m a little confused about the pricing. When studios list services and prices for piercings, is the price of the basic titanium jewelry usually included, or do you always have to pay extra for the earring itself? I don’t want to show up and find out at the checkout that the bill has doubled.

Listen, at decent shops, the price for the work and the earring itself is always listed separately, because titanium labrets are selected strictly to your cartilage thickness. You can check the honest price list here on the studio’s page https://thefalltattooing.com/pages/piercing-services-and-prices . They’re completely transparent, with no silly hidden markups at checkout. For such sterility and professionalism, the price is actually quite reasonable.
