Piercing can be a small appointment, but the decisions around placement, jewelry, healing, and aftercare still matter. Our approach is straightforward: understand what you want, make sure the placement works with your anatomy and goals, explain what to expect, and give you simple aftercare guidance you can actually follow.
Devin Morales handles piercing work for NYC Tattoo Artist. He joined the team after several years working around New York body art studios and is known within the team for being especially patient with clients who are nervous or getting pierced for the first time. If you are comparing several placements or building a group of ear piercings over time, bring those ideas to the conversation so the plan can be considered as a whole.
Placement is not only an aesthetic decision. Different areas have different healing timelines, movement, pressure, and daily habits to consider. A piercing that looks good in a photograph may sit differently depending on individual anatomy, so final placement decisions need to be made in person. We also encourage clients to think about work, sleep position, headphones, helmets, sports, and other routines that may affect a healing piercing. Clear expectations at the beginning make the process easier to manage.
Ear placements can be planned individually or as part of a longer-term arrangement. Anatomy and spacing influence which placements will sit well together.
Facial placements need careful attention to symmetry, anatomy, daily habits, and the way jewelry will sit from different angles.
If you are new to piercing, we explain the basic process, what the appointment feels like, and what healing may require.
Clients deciding between several options can discuss the visual goal and practical considerations before the final placement is selected.
| Service | Estimated Cost | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Basic ear piercing | $50-$90 | Around $70 |
| Cartilage piercing | $60-$120 | Around $90 |
| Facial piercing | $70-$130 | Around $100 |
| Multiple piercings | $100-$250+ | Varies by number |
These are general planning estimates and may not include all jewelry choices. Final cost depends on placement, jewelry, and the number of piercings.
