How Much Does Ear Piercing Cost? $30 Per Ear, Free on Wednesdays
Ear piercing at BURDLIFE costs $30 per ear, with the jewelry priced separately. On Wednesdays the piercing is free in Houston and Nashville, and you only pay for the jewelry.
By BURDLIFE Studio Team ·
The short answer
A piercing is $30 per ear. The jewelry is priced on its own, so the total depends on the piece you pick. If you want both ears done, that is two piercings.
Many people ask how much a second lobe piercing usually costs. At BURDLIFE a second hole in the same ear is a piercing like any other, so it is also $30. Read more about stacking lobes in our second and third lobe piercing guide.

Free ear piercing on Wednesdays
Yes, free ear piercing is real, and it happens every Wednesday at all our studios in Houston, Nashville, San Antonio and Atlanta (Johns Creek). The piercing itself is free.
You still pay for the jewelry. Each piece is priced on its own, so a simple stud and a more detailed piece will not cost the same. A booking helps you hold a time.
About the deposit
When you book online, a $15 deposit holds your time. It goes toward your service, so it is not an extra fee.
You can reschedule for free up to 24 hours before your visit. If you do not show up, the deposit is lost. You can also walk in without booking.
The post swap
A new cartilage piercing starts with a longer post to leave room for swelling. If it is healing well with no swelling or soreness, you can come in 6 to 8 weeks later for a shorter post. The swap is $25. Do not change the post yourself.
