What does the cost of a toung piecring range around in Canada?

Answer 1

Well you need to shop around and compare apples to apples. Some studios will charge a piercing fee plus the jewellery plus the aftercare products but will advertise only the piercing fee (BS business ethics in my mind). So ask them straight up what they charge with everything included.

Generally you can expect by the time the dust settles and the sales BS has stopped you will be paying about $65.00 ~ $85.00 for the piercing and the jewellery. Now some may charge a nominal fee for the step down barbell ($20.00 ~ $30.00) but you don't get that till you hit the two week marker and the swelling has gone down (keep in mind you should keep your old barbell {no trade in value}).

Be aware that some less than reputable shops will insist you purchase the aftercare products they want you to buy (don't get sucked in to this cash grab) that is considered "prescribing" and they have no reason to do this {legally no studio can "prescribe" aftercare products in Canada, to do so is considered "practicing medicine without a license" and is highly illegal} . So armed with this information and knowledge go forth and find the studio that's right for you. Happy piercings.
