Shenmen piercing price: how much does the piercing cost?

The Shenmen piercing is an increasingly popular piece of wellbeing body jewellery in today’s modern world. It is not only fashionable – its positive effect on the body is not to be sneezed at either: for many people it has reduced anxiety and eased tension, so they have experienced a calmer sense of wellbeing in everyday life.

But what do you need to know about it? How much does it hurt? How is it placed? Stay with us and you will also find out why the price of the Shenmen piercing varies so much.

A few words about the Shenmen piercing

The Shenmen, also known as the “divine gate”, is located in the upper part of the ear, between the three rear folds of the ear. In acupuncture, this area is often associated with reducing stress, promoting a state of calm and improving general wellbeing.

According to the feedback we have received, as a result of the Shenmen piercing :

• pain decreased / went away
• their general wellbeing improved
• anxiety decreased
• sleep problems eased

It is important to note that individual experiences may vary, and not everyone responds in the same way to wearing a Shenmen piercing. Some feel its effects, while for others the effect is less noticeable. It is always important to be aware that these effects depend on individual sensitivity and on how the person’s body reacts, and in my experience, another piercing may sometimes be needed to achieve a positive result.

How much does a Shenmen piercing hurt?

The sensation of pain is individual and subjective, so people experience the same pain differently. The Shenmen piercing is placed in the upper part of the ear, between the three rear folds of the ear. The level of pain, however, depends on many factorssuch as the individual pain threshold, the piercer’s expertise, the quality of the equipment used and the person’s nervous system response.

In general, ear piercings cause discomfort rather than really strong pain. Right after the piercing there is a brief period of tenderness, but after that the pain usually decreases. For many people, caring for the piercing and the healing period cause more discomfort than the piercing itself.

If someone is worried about the pain, it is important to prepare properly for the piercing and to discuss every detail of the procedure with the piercer. It is always important to bear in mind, however, that individual experiences may differ, and what is pleasant for one person may be unpleasant for another. That is exactly why at Medical Piercing we pay close attention to the assessment before the piercing, where you too can get answers to all your questions and your fears may lessen. With us, the price of the Shenmen piercing includes this too!

This is how a Shenmen piercing is placed

The Shenmen piercing is placed in the upper part of the ear, between the rear folds of the ear. The position of the piercing is based on a point also used in acupuncture, which is associated with reducing stress and promoting a state of calm.

The steps of placing a Shenmen piercing:

1. Preparation, assessment: The first and most important step is asking you questions and taking your medical history, then assessing the condition of your ear. After this we clean the area of the ear where the piercing will be placed, which is important to reduce the risk of infection.

2. Marking the piercing site: Using a small pencil / marker, we mark the Shenmen point on your ear. As the exact location of the point can vary from person to person, expertise and precision are especially important at this stage.

3. The piercing itself: The marked point is pierced with a sterile needle. This takes only a few moments; many people don’t even feel it, while others describe it as if “an insect had bitten them”. After this, we insert the earring through the opening that has been created.

4. Rest time, going through important information: Once your earring is in, we go through the essential information about caring for the piercing and about the healing period. We keep an eye on you for a little while to make sure you are all right, not dizzy and not bleeding, and then we let you go home.

5. Follow-up: 2 weeks after the piercing we call you to find out how healing is going and whether you feel any change. If not, under the guarantee we place another piercing for you. By then, the price of the second Shenmen piercing will be much more favourable.

This is why the price of the Shenmen piercing can vary

The price of the Shenmen piercing depends on many factors, and it can vary between regions and shops. The level of the costs may also be influenced by where you use the service, which shop, and what quality materials and equipment are used there.

In general, at a premium-quality piercing studio, the fees include the sterilised piercing itself as well as the cost of the instruments and disinfectants used during the procedure. The piercer’s expertise must also be taken into account.

Prices can vary considerably, but the price of a Shenmen piercing is usually between 20,000 and 50,000 forints. In addition, the fee can sometimes be influenced by the particular nature of the piercing site, the material of the jewellery chosen and other services (for example products needed for aftercare).

It is important to consider not only the pricebut also the reputation of the studio, the reviews of people who have been there, its established hygiene practices and the piercer’s experience. To ensure good-quality equipment and the right conditions, always choose a trustworthy piercing studio.
