Questions about piercings
The price of a piercing varies depending on the part of the body that is to be pierced.
For example, the price of a helix piercing is around 90 to 110 Swiss francs. The price for a belly button piercing, on the other hand, is around 100 to 120 Swiss francs.
It's best to ask a piercer you trust - they will give you good advice and an overview of the different prices and offers.

In principle, you can have a piercing in almost any part of your body. However, the most common piercings are usually found in the head area, i.e. in the ears, in the nose, on the eyebrows or on the tongue and lips.
You can also get intimate piercings in the genital area, piercings on the nipples or on the belly button.
If this selection is not enough for you, you can help yourself with fake piercings or dermal anchors. A dermal anchor is a piercing that is placed firmly under the skin and can be shaped using a screw-on attachment. As this piercing does not require a predestined location, you can in principle have it pierced anywhere on your body.

You should not get pierced in some cases: If your general health is not good, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have serious illnesses such as epilepsy, hemophilia, diabetes, heart disease or tumors. You should also not get a piercing if you regularly take blood-thinning medication or drugs or did so shortly before the piercing.
These blood-thinning agents include, among others: Aspirin, Marcumar, heparin, THC and alcohol.
If you want a piercing in your mouth, you should only have it pierced if you do not suffer from tooth decay, aphthae, inflammation or herpes. You should also not be undergoing dental correction treatment if you want to have a piercing on your tongue or lip.

Piercing studios in Switzerland will generally only pierce you once you have reached the age of 18 and are therefore considered an adult. The reason for this is that getting a piercing is fundamentally considered bodily harm, as certain parts of the body, such as the earlobe or nostril, are injured during the piercing process.
To ensure that the piercer is protected, they will normally only pierce you when you are of legal age.
However, there is one small exception: many piercing studios allow customers aged 16 and over to have the service if they have a signed declaration of consent from their parents. In some cases, you can also get a piercing at the age of 14, but only if your parents are present. Intimate piercings, on the other hand, can only be done when you are 18 or even 21 years old.

How painful you find getting a piercing is ultimately up to you, because we all have an individual perception of pain. So if you are very sensitive to pain anyway, you can assume that getting a piercing will not be the most pleasant situation in the world for you either.
However, there are piercings that are more or less painful when pierced. Many pierced people find piercing the earlobe the most pleasant. The belly button and lips, on the other hand, are somewhat more painful. Many people find piercings on the nostril or septum even more painful. Piercings in the eyebrow or tongue are also ranked higher on the pain scale. Piercings in the nipple and genital area are probably the most painful piercings.
