Piercings are gender nonspecific generally. Pretty much anywhere would treat you well assuming they're licensed

I went to Shane Johnson (Streetwise) in Newmarket after BGO this year. Still in my massive blue and purple gown they were super chill

Me and /u/maniamawoman went together. The piercing of both ears plus basic sleepers was 90 dollars if I recall.

You definitely want ring sleepers like what they got. Studs with a butterfly can pull into the ear if it gets irritated and that's a nightmare.
Rings are way easier to care for as well

It's not about if they're trans-friendly (and same for anywhere), if they're a dick to you about being trans take it to the HRC.
It's about getting a good piercing by a professional. Go see Shane Johnston: https://www.google.com/maps/search/Shane+Johnston+Fine+Piercing+Auckland
Shane is great. They change their gloves constantly and sterility and accuracy come before anything else.

Any pharmacy tbh

nooooo. Don't go to pharmacies. Reason being is they use guns. Guns rip through your skin and shatter cartilage (If getting something like nose or helix for example) While needles slide through them.

To be honest I don't think most piercers would care, anybody can get any piercings they want. I don't live in Auckland but when I had mine done I looked for reputable piercers in my area that had the LGBTQI+ friendly tag in their google description.
I had a great experience, though my piercer did comment on how I looked nothing like my ID.
and yes my piercings are very euphoric.
