Inkspace offers professional body piercing in Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi — performed in a sterile, private setting with implant-grade jewellery.
Types of piercings we offer
At Inkspace, our piercing room sits on the first floor at Space Gully, Hauz Khas Village — a quiet, private space separate from the tattoo floor. We perform needle piercing only, using single-use hollow needles and implant-grade jewellery opened in front of every client.
The piercings we offer include:
- Ear lobe piercing — single or multiple lobe placements, including stacked lobes
- Upper lobe piercing — positioned above standard lobe placement for a curated ear
- Helix piercing — outer cartilage rim, suited to studs and small hoops
- Forward helix piercing — front cartilage fold, popular for tiny studs
- Tragus piercing — the small pointed cartilage in front of the ear canal
- Conch piercing — inner cartilage bowl, ideal for flat-back studs and rings
- Rook piercing — the ridge between outer and inner cartilage
- Daith piercing — innermost cartilage fold, often worn with a captive bead ring
- Nose piercing — nostril piercing with screw, L-bend or flat-back stud options
- Septum piercing — the soft tissue below the nasal septum cartilage
- Navel piercing — belly button piercing, usually fitted with a curved barbell
Standard piercings start at ₹800. Advanced cartilage and specialised placements start at ₹1,200. Jewellery upgrades are available depending on material and style. If you are comparing options before booking, you can also read about our ear piercing service in Hauz Khas.
Ear piercings
Ear piercing is the most requested service at our Hauz Khas studio. We perform lobe and cartilage piercings using a single-use, pre-sterilised hollow needle — never a piercing gun. Guns cause blunt trauma, increase swelling and make precise placement difficult. Needle piercing allows us to control angle, depth and exit point, which matters for cartilage that must heal flat and straight.
Clients often book multiple ear piercings in one visit. A curated ear with three to five piercings across lobe, helix and conch is common at our Space Gully studio. We mark every placement with you before piercing, check symmetry in the mirror, and only proceed when you are comfortable.
Healing times vary by placement. Ear lobes heal in six to eight weeks. Cartilage piercings — helix, forward helix, tragus, conch, rook and daith — take three to nine months. We fit the initial jewellery with extra length to accommodate swelling, then advise downsizing after four to six weeks.
Nose piercings
Nose piercing at Inkspace covers nostril and septum work. Nostril piercings are placed on the side of your choice, marked to match your nose shape and facial symmetry. We offer screw-style studs, L-bend studs and flat-back labret-style jewellery. The initial stud is fitted slightly longer to allow for swelling, then downsized after healing to sit flush against the skin.
Septum piercings are placed through the thin membrane below the hard nasal cartilage — not through the cartilage itself. This reduces pain and improves healing. Both nostril and septum piercings typically heal in six to eight weeks with proper aftercare, though nostrils can occasionally take up to four months.
We advise against changing nose jewellery before the piercing is fully healed. Premature changes are the most common cause of irritation bumps. If you need a different style for an event, message us on WhatsApp and we can assess readiness.
Jewellery materials used
The jewellery we fit at the time of piercing matters as much as the technique. We use medical-grade stainless steel as our standard material — hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant and widely tolerated. For clients with nickel sensitivity or sensitive skin, we offer implant-grade titanium. Titanium is biocompatible, lighter than steel and nickel-free, making it ideal for long-term wear.
All jewellery is internally threaded or threadless, with polished surfaces that do not catch on clothing or bedding. We open packaging in front of you before the piercing begins. If you are unsure which material is right for you, our piercer will assess your skin history and recommend the safest option.
Hygiene and sterilisation standards
Our piercing room at Space Gully, Hauz Khas Village follows the same single-client, single-use protocol as our tattoo floor.
What we do every time:
- Single-use, pre-sterilised hollow needles — opened from sealed packaging in front of you, used on one client only
- Fresh jewellery from sealed pouches — never reused, never borrowed from display stock
- Disposable nitrile gloves changed at every stage — before setup, after marking, after any interruption and before aftercare instructions
- Hospital-grade surface disinfectant on the piercing bed, tray, lamp and all contact surfaces between clients
- Biomedical sharps disposal — used needles go into a sealed sharps container collected by a licensed waste contractor
- Hand-wash protocol — the piercer scrubs hands before gloving and again before touching aftercare supplies
- Skin prep in sequence — cleaned, marked, cleaned again and then pierced, every time
The room is cleaned and aired between clients. We do not rush appointments. If the room is not ready, you wait in the consult area upstairs until it is.
Healing and aftercare
Healing a piercing is a partnership between the studio and the client. We do our part with clean technique and quality jewellery. You do your part with consistent aftercare.
Daily routine:
- Clean the piercing twice daily with sterile saline solution
- Spray or soak for three to five minutes, then gently dry with clean tissue
- Do not rotate or twist the jewellery — this tears healing tissue and reintroduces bacteria
- Avoid touching the piercing with unwashed hands
- Keep hair, phone screens and pillowcases away from fresh piercings
Things to avoid during healing:
- Swimming pools, hot tubs and saunas for the first four weeks
- Sleeping on the piercing side — use a travel pillow for ear piercings
- Changing jewellery before the piercing is fully healed
- Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or tea-tree oil — these dry tissue and delay healing
- Makeup and hair spray directly on or around the piercing
Typical healing timelines:
- Ear lobe: six to eight weeks
- Helix, forward helix, tragus: three to nine months
- Conch, rook, daith: six to twelve months
- Nostril: two to four months
- Septum: six to eight weeks
- Navel: six to twelve months
Swelling, slight redness and clear fluid are normal in the first two weeks. If you experience persistent pain, spreading redness, heat or yellow discharge, message us on WhatsApp.
Why choose Inkspace for piercing
There are many options for body piercing in Delhi. What separates a safe piercing from a risky one is technique, materials and environment.
Needle only, always. We do not use piercing guns or spring-loaded devices. Guns cause blunt force trauma, cannot be sterilised properly and make precise placement impossible. Needle piercing is safer, more accurate and less painful.
Private piercing room. Your piercing happens in a dedicated, clean room on the first floor at Space Gully — not a shop-floor chair or curtained corner. Privacy and calm matter, especially for first-time clients.
Custom placement. We mark, mirror-check and adjust before piercing. No rushed positioning. Every piercing is placed for your anatomy and your preference.
Quality jewellery from day one. Medical-grade stainless steel or implant-grade titanium, opened in front of you. No mystery metals, no plated jewellery, no externally threaded bars for fresh piercings.
Honest aftercare. Written instructions, saline guidance and WhatsApp support for the full healing period. We do not hand you a leaflet and disappear.
Trained, experienced hands. Our piercers are trained in bloodborne pathogen safety, cross-contamination prevention and anatomical placement. This is a dedicated discipline with its own standards.
