USING THE BEST & HYGIENIC TATTOO AND PIERCING EQUIPMENT
EXPERIENCED TATTOO & PIERCING ARTISTS
There are plenty of piercing shops in Denver, but not all of them are created equal. At Mantra, we believe a great piercing starts long before the needle — it starts with the conversation, the jewelry selection, the sterile environment, and the aftercare guidance that follows you home. Here’s what sets us apart from other piercing shops in the Denver metro area.
Implant-Grade Jewelry Only
We never use cheap surgical steel, acrylic, or mystery metal. Every initial piercing at Mantra uses implant-grade titanium or solid gold jewelry — the safest, most body-compatible materials available. Our jewelry is hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and designed to heal properly.
Single-Use Sterile Needles — Every Time
We use only single-use, individually packaged sterile needles for every piercing — no exceptions. Our studios are fully health board inspected and we follow strict sterilization protocols on every workstation, every day. We never use piercing guns, which can cause tissue damage and uneven results.
Experienced, Certified Piercers
Our piercers have years of professional experience across all types of body, ear, and facial piercings. They’ll assess your anatomy before the piercing, help you choose the right jewelry, talk you through placement, and send you home with clear aftercare instructions. You’ll always know exactly who is piercing you and what to expect.
Walk-In Piercings Welcome — No Appointment Needed
Can’t plan ahead? No problem. Both our Denver and Lakewood locations welcome walk-in piercings every day. Just stop in during business hours — 11am to 9pm, Monday through Sunday — and our piercers will take care of you. We also offer online booking if you prefer to reserve a time in advance.
All Ages Welcome — Including Kids' Ear Piercings
We pierce clients of all ages. Children’s ear piercings are available with a parent or guardian present. We use proper piercing needles — never guns — for a gentler, cleaner, and safer experience for younger clients. Check our age requirements guide for Colorado’s rules on minor piercings.

Body Jewelry Near You — Denver's Largest In-Store Selection
Getting a new piercing is only part of the experience. The jewelry you wear matters just as much as the piercing itself. Cheap jewelry made from low-grade metals can cause irritation, infections, and prolonged healing — which is why we stock only implant-grade titanium and solid gold body jewelry at both our Denver and Lakewood locations.
Our walk-in jewelry selection includes hundreds of pieces across every style, gauge, and color — flatback labret studs, seamless rings, curved barbells, captive bead rings, clicker rings, threadless ends, and more. Whether you’re looking for a simple titanium stud or a decorative gold piece, you’ll find it at Mantra. And if you’re looking for body jewelry near you with same-day pickup, stop in any time we’re open. No appointment needed just to browse and buy.
We also offer jewelry changes and downsizing appointments for healed piercings. If you got pierced somewhere else and need help swapping your jewelry, our piercers are happy to assist — safely and professionally.
How to Choose the Right Piercing Shop in Denver
Not every piercing shop in Denver operates at the same standard. If you’re comparing options and not sure what to look for, here’s what you should be asking before you let anyone near you with a needle.
✅ Do they use implant-grade titanium or solid gold for initial piercings? (Not surgical steel, plated metal, or acrylic.)
✅ Do they use single-use, sterile needles — and never piercing guns?
✅ Are they fully health board inspected?
✅ Can you see and meet your actual piercer before booking?
✅ Do they have a dedicated piercing area that’s clean, private, and professionally set up?
✅ Do they offer written aftercare instructions and follow-up support?
✅ Do they carry a range of jewelry so you can choose what goes in from day one?
✅ Are they open when it’s convenient for you — including weekends and walk-ins?
At Mantra Tattoo & Piercing, the answer to every single one of those questions is yes. We’ve been meeting Denver’s piercing standards since 2006 — and we’re not cutting corners now. When you walk into our Denver or Lakewood piercing studio, you’re walking into a place that takes your safety and your experience as seriously as you do.
Piercing Aftercare — What to Expect After Your Appointment
The piercing itself only takes a few minutes. The healing is where most people either succeed or struggle — and it's almost always determined by the quality of aftercare. At Mantra, we provide detailed aftercare instructions for every piercing type at the time of your appointment. Here's a general overview of what to expect.
