Piercing Shops in Silver Spring, MD

4 of the 8 tattoo shops we list in Silver Spring have an in-house piercer offering body piercing. 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.'

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.

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.
