From navel and tongue to custom dermal anchors, we prioritize your anatomy and safety above all else. No piercing guns, just single-use needles and honest, straightforward advice.

Safety and hygiene are our top priorities. This video shows the process for a tongue piercing, including the moment we open the fresh, single-use, sterilized needle in front of the client. No shortcuts, ever.

About Body & Advanced Piercings

Getting a navel or dermal piercing isn't just about the placement; it's about checking your anatomy first. If a piercer doesn't examine your skin folds or tissue depth to ensure the jewelry can actually sit correctly before they mark it, walk away. We will often tell a client 'no' if their body structure won't support the piercing safely, because we would rather be honest than do a procedure that is guaranteed to migrate or reject later.

Why We Only Use Needles

You will notice we have zero piercing guns in our studios in Hulimavu and JP Nagar. Piercing guns cause blunt force trauma to your tissue, which makes healing difficult, painful, and prone to infection. We use single-use, hollow surgical needles. We open the sterile packaging right in front of you so you know exactly what is touching your skin.

Navel, Tongue, and Dermal Anchors

These are advanced procedures that require a steady hand. A navel piercing is not just a vertical hole; it is about finding the specific entry and exit points to ensure the jewelry sits correctly without tension. For dermals, we use implant-grade titanium bases. These are safer for long-term wear because they are biocompatible, meaning your body is far less likely to reject the anchor compared to cheaper, low-grade alternatives.

Aftercare Reality

Most of our clients find the procedure is over before they realize it, thanks to our guided breathing techniques. The real work happens after you leave. We don’t upsell expensive proprietary cleaners. We advise simple saline solutions and keeping the area dry. If you are coming in for an oral piercing like a tongue stud, be prepared for a few days of soft food to let the swelling settle. We talk you through the entire process—no sugarcoating, just the facts on how to keep your new piercing healthy.

I’m Srinath, and along with Maxy, we run Tattoos and Tales with a simple rule: if it isn't safe, we won't do it. We’ve been piercing in Bangalore for over 14 years, and we prefer an honest chat about your anatomy over making a quick sale.
