Quick Answer
New Braunfels is one of the fastest-growing cities in the entire United States. With that explosive growth has come a flood of new residents — young professionals, families, and people relocating from Austin and Houston — who want access to quality tattoo and piercing services without driving to a major city.
We know that is a real drive. But here is what you get for it: 26 years of experience, 7 tattoo artists who specialize in every major style, 2 professional piercers, and a reputation built entirely on the quality of the work. New Braunfels has its own tattoo shops — and if you just need something small and simple, that is fine.
For the tattoo you are going to have for the rest of your life, the drive to Platinum Body Piercings is worth it.
A City Growing This Fast Deserves Better Options
New Braunfels residents have told us the same thing over and over: they drove to San Antonio because the local options were not at the level they wanted. We do not say that to be dismissive — we say it because it is what we hear from clients who become regulars. When you find a shop and an artist you trust, you come back.
A lot of our New Braunfels clients now make the drive regularly.
What We Offer
Full tattoo services in every major style: black and gray realism, portraiture, traditional, neo-traditional, fine line and micro, Japanese, geometric, dotwork, lettering, watercolor, Chicano, and cover-ups. Full piercing services with implant-grade titanium and sterile technique. Walk-ins welcome daily.
