Clean Navel, Nipple, Dermal, and Surface Piercings

Body Piercing in Austin

What Does Body Piercing Include

Body piercing covers a wide range of placements below the face and ears. Each one comes with its own considerations for anatomy, healing, and long-term comfort. We’ll talk you through each one, to ensure you’re choosing the best option for your body. Our body piercing services may include:

  • Navel or belly button piercings
  • Nipple piercings, single or paired
  • Surface piercings
  • Dermal piercings
  • Hip piercings
  • Lower torso piercings
  • Body jewelry upgrades or changes

Not every body is suited for every piercing. That conversation is part of the process here, and we are always honest about what will heal well and what may cause issues down the road.

Anatomy, Placement, and Safety Come First

Before anything happens, we take time to look at your anatomy and how the piercing will sit and move over time. Placement matters, especially for piercings that experience friction from clothing or movement. We focus on:

  • Evaluating anatomy to reduce the risk of migration or rejection
  • Careful marking for balance and symmetry
  • Single-use, sterile needles
  • Jewelry designed for comfort and proper healing
  • Extra care with navels and nipples due to movement and daily wear

The goal is simple. A piercing that feels right, heals well, and holds up over time.

Before and After Your Piercing

Feeling nervous is normal! We walk you through the process so nothing feels rushed or unclear.

  • Pain and sensation: Pain varies by placement and by person. Most people describe it as quick and manageable.

  • Healing timelines:

    • Navel piercings typically heal in 6 to 9 months
    • Nipple piercings usually take 6 to 12 months
    • Surface and dermal piercings vary depending on placement and care
  • Everyday considerations: We will talk through clothing, workouts, stretching, and activities that may need adjusting during healing.

  • Aftercare basics: Saline cleaning only. Avoid touching unless you are cleaning. Be mindful of snagging and pressure.

We also explain what normal healing looks like and when it might be time to check in.

Explore Jewelry That Supports Healing

Jewelry plays a big role in how a piercing heals. We help you choose pieces that fit your anatomy and allow room for swelling while staying comfortable day to day. Options may include:

  • Titanium curved barbells for navels
  • Surface barbells designed for stability
  • Flat dermal anchors
  • Implant-grade steel
  • Gold options when appropriate
  • Decorative ends once healing allows

Comfort and longevity always come first.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for body piercings depends on the placement and the jewelry you choose, and we keep that conversation simple and upfront. Some piercings work well as walk-ins, while others, like dermals, surface piercings, or paired nipple piercings, are better handled with an appointment so we can take our time. Jewelry may be included or something you select based on fit and style. If you are not totally sure what you want yet, that is okay. You are always welcome to stop by, ask questions, and talk it through before making any decisions.

What Clients Share About Their Experience

People often tell us they felt comfortable here, and that matters to us more than anything. It comes up again and again in conversations and reviews, not because we ask for it, but because people notice the difference. A clean, calm studio where nothing feels rushed. Clear explanations without pressure or sales talk. First-timers who walk in nervous and leave feeling steady. Thoughtful placement, steady hands, and an environment that feels relaxed and welcoming from the moment you sit down. If you want to hear it directly from the people who have been here before, you can read more reviews or leave one of your own.
