Google Maps can confirm a business does tattoos, but it has no field for whether a licensed piercer is on staff for body piercing — that detail lives on the shop's own booking page or service menu, not in map data. Every shop tagged here has piercing confirmed straight from its website, not guessed from a name like 'Ink & Steel.'

  1. Ty Piercing

    6565 University Ave, Windsor Heights, IA 50324-1728

    Piercing
    All Windsor Heights
Ask about needle vs. gun before you book. A reputable piercer uses a single-use sterile needle for cartilage, navel, and nipple work — a spring-loaded gun is fine for basic lobes but should raise a flag for anything else. Expect a 20-30 minute wait for a walk-in lobe piercing, longer if the spot needs numbing or a fresh aftercare rundown.

Also in Iowa

Good to know

How much does a piercing cost at a tattoo shop?

Basic lobe or nostril piercings typically run $30-50 including jewelry, while cartilage, navel, or nipple piercings run $50-90 at most street shops. Higher-end studios using implant-grade titanium jewelry can charge $80-120 per piercing. Ask for an all-in total before you sit down, since jewelry and the piercing itself are often priced separately.

Do tattoo shops pierce ears on kids?

Many do, though policies vary — some pierce at any age with a parent present and signed consent, others set a minimum age of 8-10 for anything past the lobe. Mall kiosks like Claire's still dominate for very young kids, but a licensed piercer at a tattoo studio typically uses a safer single-use needle instead of a spring-loaded gun.

Where can I buy body jewelry near me?

High-quality body jewelry is available at professional piercing studios and dedicated body art shops throughout Iowa. You can browse 91 verified locations across the region offering titanium, gold, and implant-grade steel jewelry. Check individual listings to find nearby shops selling sanitized, studio-grade options.

Who accepts Apple Pay near me?

Many modern tattoo studios and piercing shops accept contact-free payments like Apple Pay for appointments and merchandise. In Iowa, our directory includes 91 top-rated studios offering convenient payment options. Contact individual shops from our listings to confirm their accepted payment methods before your visit.
