Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to get pierced in San Antonio?

Platinum Tattoos & Piercings at 5545 NW Loop 410, San Antonio TX 78238. We have 5 licensed piercers and have been serving San Antonio since 2000 — that's 26 years in business. We use only implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) and solid 14k/18k gold jewelry, and we welcome walk-ins every day.

How much does a piercing cost in San Antonio?

Pricing varies by placement: ear lobes start around $30–60, cartilage piercings (helix, flat, daith) $40–80, nostril $50–80, septum $60–90, daith/tragus $60–100, surface/dermal $80–120+. Prices include implant-grade titanium starter jewelry.

Do I need an appointment for a piercing in San Antonio?

No appointment needed — walk-ins are welcome every day at Platinum Tattoos & Piercings on NW Loop 410. We open at noon daily. For larger groups or special requests, feel free to call ahead.

What jewelry material is safest for a new piercing?

Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) or solid 14k/18k gold are the only materials we recommend for fresh piercings. Avoid surgical steel (often contains nickel), mystery metal, acrylic, and anything plated. Platinum Tattoos & Piercings uses exclusively implant-grade materials on every new piercing.

How long does a piercing take to heal?

Healing times vary by placement: earlobes 6–12 weeks, cartilage piercings 6–12 months, nostril 4–6 months, septum 6–8 weeks, daith 6–9 months. Everyone heals differently. Follow your aftercare routine and come back at 5–6 weeks for your downsize appointment.

Can I get multiple piercings in one visit?

Yes — our piercers can do multiple placements in one session. We generally recommend 2–3 piercings per visit max to give your body the best chance to heal properly. Come in and talk to your piercer about what makes sense for your anatomy.

What should I do to prepare for a piercing?

Eat a full meal beforehand, stay well hydrated, and wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the piercing site. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment — it thins the blood and can complicate the process. Bring your ID.
