Sometimes there can be a small amount of bleeding. You should not take aspirin or any pain medication that contains aspirin the week before any piercing is done, since these medicines may cause you to bleed a little bit more than usual. There are actually 2 costs with piercings - the site cost and the jewelry cost . The site cost depends on where on your body you get pierced. For example, ear and nose piercings usually cost less than tongue, nipple, or genital piercings.
Gold jewelry costs more than stainless steel or another metal.
You should shop around and check prices at different piercing salons before you decide on where to have your piercing done. Wash your hands first with soap and water before touching or cleaning the pierced area. Remove any crusty skin from the site and from the jewelry with warm water. Gently rinse off all of the soap and crusty discharge. Gently dry the area with a paper towel or plain white napkin.
