About Body Piercing
Getting a piercing should be personal, not rushed. At Tattoos and Tales, I treat it as an art. I won’t sugarcoat anything - safety and hygiene always come first, no compromise. You’ll never see a piercing gun here. Only pro, single-use needles, opened fresh in front of you, because bedave beda (absolutely not) to unsafe shortcuts.
What I Offer
- Full range of piercings: lobes, helix, daith, rook, tragus, nostril (including double), septum, medusa, eyebrow, tongue, navel, dermal, and even advanced stuff like corset piercings.
- Ear curation piercing is a favourite - I’ll help you plan a look that fits your anatomy, not just trends.
- Both male and female body piercing artist options. Your comfort is non-negotiable.
What to Expect
- Quick consult first: we’ll chat about placement and what works for your body.
- Sterile setup, no distractions - I talk you through some breathing so you’re not freaking out.
- Honestly, most folks say it hurts less than they imagined.
Real Talk & Aftercare
- Heard daith piercings cure migraines? Paadhi nambikkai dhaan (it's a 50/50 belief). No guarantee, but I’ll do it right.
- I use only titanium body jewelry for fresh piercings. Heals best, won’t mess with your skin.
- Loads of upgrade options once you’re healed. We even ship jewelry pan India.
