Body modifications

I've been thinking for a long time about body mods. I've always loved them, but never did any research about them until recently. Boy, have I been surprised. As many problems that can occur from them, I'm somewhat unsure whether I should get them or not. Not to mention...the cost. Literally. So here are the body mods I would love to have (no pictures, I don't have time for that right now):

• Eyebrow piercings (two)
• Bridge piercing (...?)
• Nose piercings (one on each nostril)
• Tongue piercing (though I'm still thinking about it)
• Lip piercings (snakebites)
• Ear piercings (multiple on each ear, including plugs)
• Third eye dermal (one...or three...?)
• Tongue tattoo (...?)
• Septum piercing
• Ear pointing

I'm sure about everything except the tongue piercing, tongue tattoo...and bridge piercing. My mother doesn't think I should "ruin my beautiful face", and she doesn't know I want to point my ears or tattoo my tongue but she'll probably not like it, but she has allowed me to get one nose ring, one eyebrow ring, and I think one lip ring. For now. I shall not complain. It's the cost that annoys me. At least $50 for a piercing? Seriously? 

Of course, I plan to get fake piercings for all places I hope to get real ones at before I do anything. This way I could get a job before doing anything that could be disastrous. I hope to be a chef, novelist and own my own company in the future, but what about the jobs before that? Probably a waitress and working in a music store. I like those ideas. I don't want a job that is corporate or anything. But what about the other costs that might come up? What if I get an infection? A serious one? It'd be horrible...but considering how common piercings are now, it can't be that bad...right...?

Oh, well. Time to look at the prices of fake piercings...
