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...
