do you have to have a lic. in ear piercing? i so want to do that,but i dont know if i should go to esthetics first to learn about good/bad bacteria.and its mad money.

Yes you do need a licence for ear piercing, contact your local council and
they will give you the info and prices.

the license for piercing costs roughly £100, although this varies from place to place. in my area its £125.
as michelle said contact your local council and they will be able to give you all the info you need.
also do a search on here as i asked about this a while ago (there are loads of topics on it if you do decide to do a search)

Sorry Lisa - were is Lindenhurst? Is it in the UK - you must contact your local council for their requirements.
