Expect to pay between $40 and $65 in almost any shop for one labret piercing that includes a standard jewel. Don’t forget that there are other costs included for the mouthwash and the cleaning solution. Indeed, you can make your own salt water at home, but I would rely on professional products. You can bring your own jewel, but make sure it’s made of stainless steel or titanium and that it has the right size for your desired piercing. The piercer should be able to sterilize it. Happy piercing!
