Do I need an appointment?
All piercing services including jewelry sales are by appointment only. All tattoo services including consultations are by appointment as well. Tattoo services are appointment preferred but walk-ins will be taken when there is availability.
How do I schedule an appointment or consultation?
Please call the front desk at (210) 432 5747 to check availability and schedule appointments.
How much will my tattoo cost me?
Our shop minimum is $100. Pricing varies depending on the size, placement on the body, detail level and artist. To receive an accurate price quote, please schedule a free consultation appointment with the artist you would like to work with. Any quote given by someone other than the artist that will be doing your tattoo is not firm and is only meant as a general idea of what the tattoo might cost. A non-refundable deposit is required for tattoo appointments (consultations do not require a deposit). This deposit secures your time and is deducted from the final cost of the tattoo.
How much are piercings?
This can vary depending on: which piercing it is, what style of jewelry is used, and what options are chosen. All piercing prices that are quoted include implant grade titanium jewelry, piercing fee and aftercare. Please call us at (210) 432 5747 for pricing ranges per piercing. Custom and gold jewelry options are available as well and are priced by the piece.
Miscellaneous piercing policies.
Our piercers will only perform a maximum of four piercings per client per appointment.
Ear cartilage piercings will only be done on one side of the head during an appointment.
Industrial piercings are very anatomy specific and many people interested in them do not have the proper anatomy to sustain the piercing long term. Due to this issue we require a free consultation with one of our piercers be completed before scheduling an appointment for industrial piercings.
What forms of ID are required to receive a tattoo or piercing?
Tattoos for adults: Texas Health Department laws require a valid, government issued photo ID (i.e. drivers license, drivers permit, state ID, passport, military ID) be presented and recorded to complete the documentation necessary for Dandyland to provide tattoo services.
Piercings for adults: Texas Health Department laws require a valid, government issued photo ID (i.e. drivers license, drivers permit, state ID, passport, military ID) be presented and recorded to complete the documentation necessary for Dandyland to provide piercing services.
I’m a minor, can I get tattooed or pierced at your studio?
Texas Health Department laws require an individual to be 18 years of age or older to get tattooed. They do not allow parental consent for tattooing minors.
We do offer some piercings for minors!
Please call the front desk for age requirements on specific piercings.
For documentation requirements of the minor, we can accept a birth certificate and school ID or a valid, government issued photo ID (i.e. drivers license, drivers permit, state ID, passport, military ID). A parent or legal guardian must be present with their ID. Legal guardians must also povide guardianship documents.
If you have a question about an ID please give our front desk a call (210) 432-5747.
Do you pierce children’s ear lobes?
Yes! We are currently piercing children’s ear lobes at 5 years old and up. For kids ages 5 – 9 we require a consultation appointment at least 24 hours in advance before scheduling the piercings. Consultations allow time to meet with a piercer to discuss the piercing process, jewelry options, documentation needed, aftercare, and so on! This is the time to ask any questions you or your child may have! Consultations can be scheduled with front desk at (210) 432-5747.
