Piercing in Indianapolis, IN
Piercing services at Indy Tattoo Works are performed with a strong focus on precision, comfort, and safety. Clients throughout Indianapolis visit the studio for clean, well-executed piercings that compliment their personal style while supporting healthy healing. Each piercing is approached as both a technical and aesthetic service, ensuring the placement suits the individual’s anatomy and desired look. From subtle earlobe piercings to more advanced placements, the studio provides a thoughtful, professional experience grounded in sterile technique and attention to detail.
Professional Piercing Consultation
Every piercing begins with a one-on-one consultation where the artist evaluates anatomy, explains the piercing process, and helps the client select placement and jewelry that work best for their goals. This ensures the piercing not only looks balanced but also has the best possible chance of healing properly.
Assessing Anatomy for Ideal Placement
Certain piercings rely heavily on structural suitability. During the consultation, the artist checks angles, cartilage shape, and tissue density to determine the placement that will heal cleanly and maintain its appearance over time.
Selecting the Right Jewelry Style and Material
Jewelry selection is an important part of the process. The artist helps clients choose high-quality materials and shapes that support both comfort and healing.
Ear Piercing Services
Ear piercings remain the most requested body piercing service at Indy Tattoo Works. Whether someone prefers a minimalist look or a curated ear layout, the studio offers a wide selection of placements designed to fit the natural contours of the ear.
Lobe and Upper Lobe Piercings
These foundational piercings offer versatility and often serve as the starting point for clients building a personalized ear arrangement. Placement is measured carefully to ensure symmetry and comfort.
Cartilage Piercings
From helix and conch to tragus and rook, cartilage piercings require refined technique due to the firmness of the tissue. The artist prioritizes proper angle and depth to encourage clean healing and long-term stability.
Nose and Facial Piercing
Facial piercings demand precision, subtlety, and a clear understanding of facial balance. Indy Tattoo Works offers nose, septum, and other facial piercings that are customized to fit the client’s features without overwhelming their natural appearance.
Nostril Piercing for Timeless Style
Nostril piercings are placed based on facial structure and personal preference, ensuring the jewelry sits proportionally and aligns comfortably with the natural curve of the nose.
Septum Piercing with Anatomical Accuracy
Septum piercings require exact placement through the soft tissue known as the “sweet spot.” The artist locates this area to ensure proper alignment and comfort.
Sterile Piercing Environment
Safety and sanitation are always at the forefront of the studio’s process. Indy Tattoo Works maintains strict hygiene standards to ensure each piercing is performed in a clean, controlled environment using sterile equipment.
Single-Use, Sterilized Equipment
All tools and jewelry used during the procedure are either sterilized before the service or single-use to prevent contamination. The artist prepares all materials in front of the client for transparency and peace of mind.
