How much does a professional piercer make in Australia?

Oh and also, most piercers sell jewelry as well, and extra cleaning solution etc too so they will also (hopefully) make some extra money from display products. I’ve found that many piercers these days have websites to buy jewelry off, there is a huge demand for buying pierced jewelry offline these days and people love it when you can buy something locally so that postage is cheap.

I’m talking about Cosmetics Plus which hires a few piercers at a time and the jewellery comes with the piercing price not on top of it and they charge $25 a piercing. I just don’t know how much they’re paid for how many hours they work and if they get commission on top of that.

Oh and the place is pretty popular place considering it’s the only place in town to get a piercing without going to a tattoo or weed shop.

Okay, well in that case, you should go in and ask them. Say it’s for a research project or something.

I’ll try, thank you! :)

But remember all piercers will be paid differently and charge different amounts per piercing etc. There’s never a set salary/amount earned for piercers or tattoo artists, just like hairdressers and commission based workers.

They would pay rent per month for their chair just like hairdressers.

No they don’t. Only one piercer works per day in the place I mentioned I’ll be working at so they don’t rent their chair.
