Quick Answer
Looking for professional piercings in San Antonio? Platinum Tattoos & Piercings has been providing safe, high-quality body piercings since 2000. Located at 5545 NW Loop 410, our studio features 2 experienced professional piercers who handle everything from standard ear lobe piercings to advanced cartilage work, nose and septum piercings, lip piercings, tongue piercings, navel piercings, dermal anchors, and more.
San Antonio deserves better than mall kiosks and piercing guns. At Platinum Tattoos & Piercings, every piercing is performed by a trained professional using proper technique — never a gun, never a spring-loaded device, never a shortcut. Piercing guns cannot be properly sterilized, use blunt-force trauma instead of a sharp needle, and often result in poorly placed piercings with cheap jewelry that causes reactions.
You deserve better than that, and that is exactly what you get at our shop.
With over two decades of experience, our founding family has built Platinum Tattoos & Piercings into one of the most trusted piercing destinations in San Antonio. Our piercers have performed tens of thousands of piercings across every body part and placement imaginable. Whether this is your first piercing or your twentieth, whether you want something subtle and understated or bold and dramatic, our team has the expertise to make it happen safely and beautifully.
ABOUT Platinum Tattoos & Piercings
Platinum Tattoos & Piercings was founded in 2000 and has been at 5545 NW Loop 410 for over two decades. Our studio is a full-service tattoo and piercing studio with our team of artists and piercers. We are not a pop-up, not a chain, and not a mall kiosk — we are a dedicated studio built on decades of expertise.
Walk-ins are always welcome for piercings. In most cases, we can get you pierced the same day you walk in. No appointment necessary for standard piercings.
For multiple piercings or complex projects like curated ear designs, you can schedule a consultation to plan everything out — consultations are always free.
Our Piercing Services
We offer the complete range of professional body piercings. Ear piercings include standard lobes, upper lobes, helix, double and triple helix, forward helix, tragus, anti-tragus, conch, rook, daith, snug, flat, orbital, and industrial piercings. Curated ear projects — where we design a cohesive multi-piercing layout for your ear — are one of our specialties.
Nose piercings include nostril (single or double), septum, nasallang, and bridge piercings. Lip piercings include labret, vertical labret, Monroe, Medusa, dahlia, snake bites, spider bites, and angel bites. We also perform tongue piercings, navel piercings, dermal anchors, surface piercings, and eyebrow piercings.
Whatever you want pierced, we can do it safely and professionally.
Why Choose Us for Piercings
Safety is non-negotiable at Platinum Tattoos & Piercings. Every piercing uses implant-grade titanium jewelry that meets ASTM F136 standards — this is the same material used in surgical implants. We use single-use, pre-sterilized hollow needles (never guns), and all reusable equipment is sterilized in an autoclave that is spore-tested regularly.
Our piercers wear fresh gloves, use sterile technique, and follow strict cross-contamination protocols.
Beyond safety, our piercers bring genuine artistry to their work. Piercing placement is not just about poking a hole — it is about understanding facial symmetry, ear anatomy, body proportions, and how jewelry will sit and move with your body. Our piercers take the time to mark placement precisely, show you from multiple angles, and ensure you are completely happy before the needle touches skin.
We also provide thorough aftercare support. Every client leaves with clear aftercare instructions specific to their piercing type. We offer free follow-up check-ups at 4 to 8 weeks so your piercer can assess healing, address any concerns, and downsize jewelry when appropriate.
Your piercing journey does not end when you leave the shop — we are here for the entire healing process.
Jewelry and Quality
All starter jewelry at Platinum Tattoos & Piercings is implant-grade titanium — the gold standard for healing piercings. We carry a wide selection of decorative ends, gemstone options, gold pieces, and specialty brands for upgrades once your piercing is healed. Whether you want minimalist and understated or bold and sparkling, we have jewelry to match your style.
We do not use mystery metals, cheap alloys, or externally threaded jewelry in fresh piercings. The quality of your jewelry directly affects your healing experience, and we refuse to compromise on that. Every piece we use is sourced from reputable manufacturers and meets professional piercing industry standards.
