Piercing Studio in Sherman Oaks: Needle-Only Specialty Piercings by Appointment
A Piercing Studio in Sherman Oaks Built Around Specialty Work
Costello is a tattoo and piercing studio at 14434 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. Piercing is the side of the business we are building out, and the placements we spend the most time on are the ones that take real skill: daith, rook, conch, industrial, septum, nipple, surface piercings and dermal anchors.
If you have been searching for a piercing studio or body piercing studios near you in the Valley, this page covers what we pierce, how we work, and how to book.
What We Pierce
We focus on specialty placements, and most of them are ear or facial piercings that need careful placement for your anatomy.
Daith, rook and conch: inner-ear cartilage placements. Our guide to ear piercing types explains where each one sits.
Industrial: two holes in the upper ear connected by one bar.
Septum and nipple: see our post on septum and nipple piercings for the questions first-timers ask most.
Surface piercings and dermal anchors: read what to expect, healing and aftercare before you book one.
Wondering how each one feels? We wrote a pain guide for daith, conch, industrial and more.
Needles Only, By a Licensed Piercer
Every piercing at Costello is done with a needle. We do not use piercing guns. A licensed piercer at the studio performs each piercing, and all piercings are by appointment.
A few things we do not do: we do not pierce anyone under 18, and we do not do oral or tongue piercings. You must be 18 or older to be pierced here.

Browse our piercing gallery to see finished placements and get a sense of how jewelry sits on different ears and faces.
Healing is a big part of how a piercing turns out. Our piercing aftercare page covers day-to-day care, and once your piercing has settled you may need to swap the starter piece, which is why we also explain when and why to downsize your jewelry.
