    ha, probably such a noobie question to ask. Never got a piercing done before.
    Looking to get a ring put in my left earlobe. How much would it roughly be?

    and sorry to ask such a silly question like this. but left side is straight right? gay is right, right? lol.


    cheers! :P

    you have a single, gay ear? you'd want to see someone about that...

    There is no "Gay Ear." That's just some childish rumour spread around in primary school. Pay no heed to it. Get whatever side you want done.

    It really depends where you go. Call into your local piercer and ask! :)

    I think it's about €20/25 in most places.

    Then i'd be both straight and gay? lol... sorry just had to say it :P
    yes its probably childish with the whole "which side means what" - none the less we all heard the stigma of sides. lol.

    Going to get it done this week. Was thinking of doing it myself. But i dont have any rings or what not. So it would be pointless i think just to go in, buy a ring and do it myself later while i can just get them to do it.

    Yea. Pointless and dangerous. It would probably lead to you getting an infection in that ear, which looks nasty, hurts like hell, is a pain to remove and could lead to hearing problems.

    Rereading your two posts here, you sound sortof young if you're worried about which side is which.

    Usual price with a ring is around €20. Just make sure they use a needle and not a gun first and then insert the ring afterwards.

    In the shop where I work, we charge 15 euro's for a standard earlobe piercing with a ball closure ring and 20 euro's with a barbell. That might sound like alot of money per lobe, but we do not use an ear piercing gun, but a brand new needle for every piercing.

    No LighterGuy I work in Sligo. I think the closer you get to the capital, the more expensive things get.
