It is safer, more precise, and leads to faster healing for your ear or body piercings. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video shows our standard procedure for an ear piercing. We begin by carefully marking the exact placement, followed by a quick and precise piercing using a sterile, single-use needle. Our process is designed to be safe, hygienic, and as comfortable as possible.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/76fbb970-e767-4f50-a385-fce0b4bc725a) ## About The Piercing Process: Safe & Sterile When we pierce, we do not just poke a hole. We use a sterilized hollow needle to remove a tiny bit of tissue, which creates a cleaner channel than a blunt piercing gun. This technique significantly lowers infection risk and helps your piercing heal faster. We have moved away from traditional piercing guns entirely. These devices force jewelry through tissue with blunt impact, causing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding area. Instead, our studio uses the cannula technique. By using a hollow needle, we make a precise entry point that allows the jewelry to sit comfortably without causing excessive swelling or pressure. Hygiene protocols remain our strictest standard. Every needle is single-use, opened directly in front of you, and disposed of immediately after the procedure. We primarily use 316L surgical steel for initial jewelry, as it is hypoallergenic and maintains its integrity during the crucial first weeks of healing. For simple lobe piercings, expect a straightforward 10 to 15 minute session. If you are looking into cartilage, nose, or navel piercings, we allow for extra time to assess your anatomy and ensure the placement is both aesthetic and safe for long-term healing. Our team provides clear, verbal aftercare instructions, specifically regarding saline cleaning routines for the 6 to 12 month healing window required for cartilage work. Visit our studios in Malleshwaram or Jayanagar for a consultation. Whether you are a first-timer or adding to an existing collection, we prioritize your long-term health over a quick sale. ## About Tattoo Headquarters We have been part of the Bengaluru tattoo and piercing scene since 2005.
