Our 6yo wanted to have her ears pierced and we knew we wanted to go to a real piercing parlor. We had Eric who was so kind, helpful, and educational when explaining to our daughter what to expect with the process. He got down on her level when talking to her when explaining, made sure that she was comfortable at the beginning, during, and end of the process. She was very excited about all the selection of jewelry and chose a really pretty periwinkle stone. Overall it was a very good experience, shes very excited about showing off her earrings and even commented that she cant wait until she turns 18 so she could go back and get a tattoo. LOL. We are very thankful for Eric and his expertise, and well make sure to tell everyone we know that anytime that they need a piercing to go to dandyland. (Everyone was VERY kind, and I will say that the place is very clean, even more so during these covid times. This is a place we will go to in the future for piercings or tattoo needs.)
Outstanding experience! Wasnt sure what to expect - Miro and Dandyland are the bomb! Making piercing fun, with great and professional attitude and atmosphere - couldnt have asked for a better experience. Super selection of jewelry to choose from...so happy with the results! Thank you!
This is the place to go for ear piercing!!! Brought my daughter to get her 2nd hole lobe piercing and the experience was great! The minute you walk in your greeted with friendly people. The place is beyond clean and the decor was eye catching! Eric was very patient and knowledgeable. Cant believe how extensive the sanitation routine this business puts forth. They deserve more than 5 ⭐s I completely appreciate how Eric walked us through every step and explained everything so thoroughly. Skip the mall booths and the piercing gun and get your ear lobe piercings here! Its the best way to go you will not regret it 👏
I went today to get my ears pierced. I was surprised at how huge their place is. But it’s so well decorated and the jewelry display is amazing. They’re very very VERY clean and I had an absolutely fantastic experience. I loved that the release forum I signed had a section for you to put your pronouns and the actual name you go by (vs your legal name if it’s not changed, which was also required on the forum but it was so so nice to have both).My piercer was super fantastic about the entire piercing process. I absolutely loved that he explained every step in what he was doing, it’s not only helpful if you’re someone nervous about piercings but it’s interesting if you’re curious about what’s going on. I absolutely recommend going here, I know I will be back for future piercings!
They take great care of you. They are very clean and have everything sanitized even before covid. Once I know my next tattoo will be definitely be coming back. As well if you ever need piercing Milo is so professional! Hes the only person I trust with my piercings . Nothing Against the other people who pierce there. I havent had the pleasure to have them work on me. Ive had bad experiences other places. I even had once an infection on a piercing I got at another location. Milo has been always taken care of me. I personally just trust him only.
Great place! I got my earlobes done by Eric and he was wonderful. Super kind, straight forward, and answers any questions you have! And the place is drop dead gorgeous. Its like being in a doctors office if your doctor has REALLY good taste.Nothing about this trip was disappointing. They even have great Covid protocol.
Eric was the professional handling my piercing. He was very relaxed and a conversationalist. He was very adamant about his and my sanitization throughout the whole process. The room was extremely clean. I think he said hes been doing this for 14 years! He has a lot of cool body mods himself. This was a difficult piercing. I plan on getting another and will request him for it.
Always have my piercing done here. Great choice of jewelry
I went in today to have my first piercing done and was thoroughly impressed by how clean the studio is, as well as by Miros knowledge and experience. The whole visit went so smoothly, and he happily answered any questions I had. The piercing process itself was practically painless, both figuratively and literally thanks to Miros expertise, and ultimately I walked out with a badass septum piercing! Definitely recommend Dandyland!
Located within the art district of San Antonio, walking into this studio assures you are in the right location. I worked with Tim, who was friendly, professional, and is an absolutely amazing artist. My wife and I got a couples tattoo and we couldnt be more thrilled with the results!
Super clean and professional with a fantastic high quality jewelry selection.
Miro did my septum piercing. I kept waiting for the tightness to turn to pain when the needle went through, but the tightness subsided and Miro told me the needle was already through. I could barely believe it. Fantastic experience! Thanks Miro!
I got my nose pierced today by Eric. He was very nice, thoroughly explained everything and did a great job. The prices are good and the place is super clean! Thanks Dandyland!
Got my vertical bridge piercing by Aaron a while back. He did a wonderful job and was very knowledgeable and helpful in deciding what piercing would suit me best as I wear glasses and didnt want it to interfere. It healed perfectly and I continue to be extremely satisfied with the result as well as with the customer service I have received there with every employee. It was easy to schedule an appointment (this was before Covid) and the process was fast and painless. I lost a gem recently and went back to purchase a replacement and they were just as welcoming and helpful as my prior experiences which is why I felt I should write this review. Keep up the good work Dandyland!
Ive been getting my piercings done here for last year and have had nothing but positive experiences, everyone is so nice and engaging, Id recommend people to go here because of the atmosphere it gives off.
Awesome place awesome people I highly recommend this place. I like how they explain everything to you and how clean the place is, also dont be afraid of asking questions, they will help you with any info you need. I have multiple piercings but the one I got here I cannot post... but it was awesome. Will be going back for more. Thanks you Dandyland
Eric was very friendly and helpful. He has a very calm demeanor which is nice to have in a piercer.
All I can say is great place got my septum pierced Eric you my boi I will for sure be going back for more piercins and tattoos 💯
Such an amazing first time experience. First of all, the owner (I believe) was screening for COVID in such a superb manner keeping his staff and customers safe. He was constantly sanitizing and wiping down surfaces. He was super friendly and professional! The lobby and studios are so nice and immaculately clean unlike any tattoo place I had visited before.The young man who replaced my dermal top was super nice and very professional as well. He was a great listener and communicator or product and what he was doing.I WILL never go anywhere else again!! Highly recommend!
Miro hooked it up. The man knows what hes doing. The shop is well set up and ready to handle new customers. Appointments only, and mine was right on time. Ill be back!
Amazing shop. Have been getting tattooed by Cheese here since 2013. Moved further away to Fort Worth but still frequently travel the 4 hours to come here.
They had great customer service they walked through the steps of how the piercing was going to feel and also walked us through the cleaning process thank you so much will definitely be returning for more piercings
Super professional and very COVID safe. They have you wash your hands on entry, take your temperature, and only allow a small amount of people in the building at time. I felt very safe and comfortable getting my piercings done here.
100% recommend going here for your next tattoo and I HIGHLY recommend Cloie! I reached out to her after seeing her work on Instagram (perfection!) and she was amazing from the start. Helped me design the piece I wanted, sent me several variations, and was so kind and professional along the way. Got it done today and I couldnt be happier with it – she did such a beautiful job! Her talent is undeniable and she is so sweet and friendly. Her attention to detail is incredible and she walked me through everything she was doing the whole time. Id 100% go back to her for all of my future tattoos if I lived in the area... but if Im ever back I will DEFINITELY go see her. Thank you Cloie! ☺️
Clean place very professional and great jewelry piercing selection. Love this place!
Got several piercings done here by Miro. He is simply the best. Amazing experience, he is very professional and knowledgeable and just a super cool guy. I will not go anywhere else and I will recommend everyone I know to them because I know theyll be in great hands.
My experience here was phenomenal! My endless questions were met with patience and I could tell Eric was extremely knowledgable. Could not have been a better experience!! This is the place to go
This place is fantastic!! Very professional, very clean and was great explaining everything to my daughter and I! Will definitely go to them for my next tattoo
This place is cool. Staff is super duper friendly .I have done peircing for my kid .she is 6. They explained me the process of cleaning and peircing. They explained me how to maintain well the newly peirced ear.my kid dint feel any pain, she didnt even flinch. Its about customer service they really cared and were very patient.They say the pricing upfront.no hidden costs. Very neat work. Really recommend this.
I got my ears pierced here & Eric took care of me. Everyone was very professional, safe & clean. Eric went through the entire process & explained everything in great detail. This being my first piercing I felt I understood every step; this made the whole process easy. I was recommended this place & id recommend it to anyone else.
Very clean place. The piercer was fantastic!I have an anxiety disorder and he made sure to explain everything to me before it was done. He washed everything down before interacting with me. With the actual piercing, he was quick and made sure it didnt hurt.I am very happy with the service I received and definitely recommend Dandyland for body mod!
I got my seconds and a cartilage piercing and it looks incredible. The place was extremely clean and the staff was very nice, friendly, and informative. I really liked how they walked me through the process. I’ll definitely be going back for my thirds!!
Went there today to look at some gauges needed an appointment but they scheduled me for later that day, very helpful and courteous safe and extremely clean Eric was great helped me find some beautiful gauges I definitely recommend them.
Extremely kind staff. The atmosphere is calm and inviting. Loved the art. Loved the fact that they had jewelry options galore. The cleanliness and professionalism at this place are the bees knees. Will be coming back. 💯👌🏼😁 Aaron the piercer who did right by me with his suggestions did a great job. Highly recommend!
Great service and owners...a trusted respected longtime business in SA!
Eric was an amazing piercer! He did my 2nd lobes and made me feel really good about the process, aftercare, etc. The piercing didnt hurt at all and he was excellent at the placement of each piercing! Id highly recommend going to see him or anyone at dandyland as the place was so clean and everyone was so nice. I cant wait to go again and get more piercings done!
Took my Daughter to get her nose pierced. The first time we went they talked my daughter through all of the information. When we went to our appointment, they were so nice! They explained everything to her about the jewelry, sterilization of tools, the piercing process, and after care. It was stress free for both of us. We would definitely come here again and recommend Dandyland Tattoo to others.
I love this place. I got my first cartilage piercing here. Aaron did my piercing and he was amazing! He was so sweet and patient with me. He calmed me down and talked me through the entire process. I highly recommend getting a piercing here. Also they have taken every precaution possible during this whole COVID situation! I was really impressed and I felt comfortable and at ease knowing they were very clean and cautious! Im honestly amazed! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! I will be coming back here for another piercing for sure!
Very clean and wonderful staff... Very efficient on following covid regulations.. took my temp before I ever entered the door. My piercer was wonderful. Didnt make me feel awkward... Made me feel calm.
Great and friendly staff, except, I had 3 piercings done, one cartilage and two lobes, all in which I had to remove due to the fact that the jewelry was not the best and it almost seemed as if my cartilage was pierced wrong.
I was here to get a piercing and I had the help from Miro. I came in with an idea of what I wanted but he helped me figure it out in the end. The staff here is amazing and friendly. I love how they show you that everything is sterile from the beginning to the end. Miro said he was the fastest at giving a certain piercing and it was very true! I love this shop and I definitely will be coming back and recommending it to everyone.
These artists are talented and professional at what they do. The establishment is clean and well taken care of. I needed a new piece of jewelry for my tragus and Miro helped me find the perfect piece. The choice was hard with so many beautiful options, but thats a good problem to have. I will definitely go back for all my piercings in the furure!
I have had many body piercings and a couple of tattoos at Dandyland. The place is awesome and the staff is friendly, honest, and professional. I highly recommend this place for piercings and tattoos. The owner is usually there and is an outstanding piercer!!! :o)
Tim does amazing work.... entire place super cool with great staff and artists!!!!
I was so taken back by the level of care and time taken by the entire staff. From the consultation to the actual appointment my son and I both felt informed and excited for his ears to be pierced. My son being so young was very nervous, however Eric did an amazing job getting him through. The placement is immaculate and I couldnt be happier! Thank you Dandyland for having such an amazing staff.
Aaron was AMAZING! When we got back to the beautiful room (that wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous) he took the time to let me choose between different placement. I came in expecting to get the standard double lobe piercing but left with something so much better! He took into consideration my ear shape and was so patient with me while chose jewelry and placement. He had wonderful bedside manner and made me feel completely at ease. I would recommend him to everyone! Plus their jewelry selection is amazing!
Clean, professionally and friendly, theyre taking Covid precautions seriously.
I researched and finally decided to trust the guys at Dandyland with piercing my 17 yr old daughter . She wanted a helix(top side of ear) piercing. I am so happy we chose Dandyland. The guys here are true professionals. Thank you Miro for doing such an awesome job !! ♥️❤️♥️
The quality of their work is great. However, paying their updated rate of $100/hr is too expensive. A bit unrealistic as well if your artist naturally takes his or her time even for a simpler tattoo. With that being said, a tattoo here could ultimately cost you $300 where it would cost $175 elsewhere with the same quality work. Yes I do have tattoos, 15.
Ive gotten two piercings from Aaron here whos fantastic. He along with the rest of the staff are super professional. His demeanor is very calming which is comforting when youre about to be pierced. Ive also been tattooed by Travis who is very chill and honest. The shop is very clean and modern. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing.
Tim is an amazing artist and tattoo artist. We showed him our concept, and he made it even better. Hell do our future tattoos!
Everything was honestly a good experience everyone was extremely nice the place is nice and also extremely clean and pleasing to the eye they have lovely jewelry definitely my new favorite place I got a piercing he did excellent didnt hurt
Awesome experience. Very professional and sterile environment.
The location is beautiful. The tattoos and piercers are friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in their fields.
Best tattoo experience and piercing experience. I wont go anywhere else for either! Miro is a damn genius with a needle and has worked with me numerous times to get gorgeous jewelry for my piercings. I get so many compliments on my piercings/jewelry and my large thigh piece from Gary Graves. Every compliment is followed up by a recommendation to these amazing artists. Thank you all for being the best around! I look forward to getting even more work done with you all!
Awesome place! went there last sunday for my first tattoo. i had to do some research and some shops just didnt feel right, i live right by Dandyland by SAC and ive heard good things so i thought why not!Coming in everything was neat and clean, ( and their jewelry section was badass! ), the person who greeted me at the door was very nice ( dont remember his name )I had made an appointment with Josh, he made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire session, im normally a very shy person dont really talk but i had to have some distraction since it was my first tattoo.He was very helpful and listened to what i wanted on the sketch, he made convo through the entire tattoo and his chill vibe just made everything go so ouch smoother!He answered all the questions and gave me tips on my stretches lobes.i will definitely have him do my second tattoo which will be soon hopefully.Will definitely be coming back! hopefully theyre able to do under mask piercings soon😁Super clean place, and great environment. Wouldnt have picked any other place for my first tat😁
Went in for a nostril piercing today and the piercer made feel completely at ease. I pass out very easily and after my piercing when I was waiting to pay I did have a little fainting spell. The employees were so professional and helped me get back to a normal state before I left the shop. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and I would definitely recommend this shop 100%- Carolina :)
Attention to detail is important, especially when you are considering body modifications. Dandyland is a top tier, premium tattoo and body piercing shop in San Antonio. The new location is very clean and sterile but also warm and inviting. The staff are both knowledgeable and friendly. The artists care about their work and that is evident by the quality of the work done at Dandyland. The body jewelry at Dandyland is world class and Miro takes great care in ensuring that the jewery he gets is top notch. Miro is also the only piercer in the city that I will trust to do my piercings. Dandyland is a great shop for those serious about tattoos and piercings but a location for bargain hunters. This shop is for those that are looking for excellent work and are willing to pay what it is worth.
This place is the absolute greatest. We’ve been to see the piercer Whitney on multiple occasions, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to get pierced. She’s fun, explains the process thoroughly, does the job quickly, and then gives you extremely detailed follow-up instructions. I also have an appointment to see one of the tattoo artists to color in an existing tattoo, and he didn’t make me feel rushed when I gave him my ideas during the consultation. Everyone there is super nice, including the man that answers the phones. He’s very knowledgeable about pretty much everything. This is hands down the most well run tattoo and piercing shop in San Antonio!
Always professional with second to none safety measures. Best crew around!
Highly recommend this place! Their piercer makes it as painless as possible. Ive had bad experiences in the past giving me excessive pain due to an aggressive piercing style. Trust Eric! He was very informative and did such a good job leaving me with minimal pain and a nicely placed fresh piercing
The staff at Dandyland is always cool and respectful. Tara is absolutely amazing at what she does. Her tattoos are gorgeous full color pieces in her unique cartoony style. We just completed a cover-up today which brought me to happy tears. Finally my hideous mistake is gone! I cant recommend her highly enough. Shes awesome.Edit: So, about a month ago I got my nipples pierced by Miro. Im so happy with the way they turned out! Its surely not a painless process, but he made it quick and I dont think I was at the shop any longer than a half hour. They take great care into making their equipment sterile and make sure you know the healing process and what you can and cant do during that time. If I ever want another piercing, Ill definitely go back. He was awesome.
Made an appointment to get my nose pierced and the minute I walked in they were very friendly. Eric (the great guy that pierced me) gave me his professional advice as to the size of my jewel. He also explained what he was going to do and why he was placing it where he was. The placement was awesome and once I looked in the mirror I fell in love with my new addition. Will definitely be back when I decide to get pierced again.
After thoroughly researching everything about having ones nipples pierced, I decided to make an appointment with Miro at Dandyland. Dandyland and their staff are very professional. They use implant grade titanium for initial piercings as the default, which is what I wanted. Miro was fantastic, he was calm, reassuring, and professional. His positive vibes made the process a pleasant one. The pain was minimal with Miros gentle approach, but ymmv. He free hands, so he doesnt use clamps for nipple piercings. The shop also has a gorgeous selection of great quality jewelry. I will be recommending this shop at any opportunity that arises.
Awesome professional work! Cheese does some of the best work in San Antonio.
Wonderful experience with Miro at Dandyland! I had set a trio appointment with myself, my sister and mom to get nostril piercings. We asked if we could squeeze my second sister in and he happily obliged. I was shocked how painless and fast the piercing itself was (thanks to Miro and superb dexterity) however, I am queasy about needles and started to feel lightheaded. Miro sat me down and rushed to get a cup of water and a glucose tablet so I wouldn’t faint. Miro was patient and gracious in making sure I was comfortable and I felt better in no time. Clean, sterile environment and stunning jewelry. Thanks so much for making this an awesome experience for the four of us!
The shop is amazing, clean, & has an all around good vibe to it. The selection of jewelry is great! The people that work there are very professional & friendly as well. Im definitely coming back for their services & jewelry.
Fast service and never a long line when we pick up dinner.
I had my nose pierced at Dandyland today. Let me tell you, it totally exceeded my expectations. I read all the reviews, and asked around town, so I expected the place to be good. But I was floored. Tony, my piercer, was totally professional, happy to answer my ten thousand questions, and made me feel completely comfortable the whole time. Everything was sterilized and still in autoclave baggies, and I just felt really fantastic about the whole experience. I will be going back for a conch piercing soon! Overall, they are accommodating, friendly, and extremely professional. I would recommend to anyone looking to get any kind of piercing.
Recent have had some metal work done by Miro. Great guys. Have has had a good amount of interaction with both him and Aaron, as well as extensive tattooing by Gary there. I wont go any other place, clean, professional and highly knowledgeable. Would greatly recommend.
Great staff and they are taking care of their guest to the highest level
I went to Miro for my nostril piercing based on all the great reviews and was NOT disappointed. He was extremely professional, made me feel at ease and I am in love with my piercing. Its been a few months and it has healed nicely with no issues. I will only go to Miro if I get any more piercings. Hes the best!
I absolutely love Dandyland. I have had multiple piercings, jewelry upgrades, and even a custom piece measured, ordered, and installed by Miro, and I could not be more pleased. I know that I can always count on them to be friendly, professional, sanitary, and patient - and never pushy or selly. I appreciate this place so much.
My husband has beautiful work from Travis!! 10/10
Aaron is an awesome professional. Walked me through step by step the process of my piercings. They look amazing. This is the place to go for tattoos and piercings.
Weve been Dandyland fans since 2012, and Miro had been our go-to ever since. Hes nationally recognized as one of the best in the business, and is genuinely one of the best human beings Ive ever met. The new location in Fredericksburg is simply beautiful. I wont go anywhere else.
Professional staff, devoted to cleanliness and customer service and Ive never had a bad experience here with two piercings and a tattoo and three tattoos for my boyfriend. I will never go anywhere else.
Got my lips repeirced here by Aaron and he did a great job, the jewelry selection is good and is made of good quality material. Update I just got a piercing redone and Aaron did a fantastic job again. Definitely go here if need quality service.
The first time I went to Dandyland was to buy a ring for my tragus. I meet Miro and he gave me advice on different rings. Shortly after, I came back for a piercing and to my suprise it was with Miro. He was so calm and professional. It made my experience even better. I love Dandyland and cant wait to come back for more piercing therapy.
The staff were extremely professional and friendly. I went for a bridge piercing and I can say I’m highly satisfied! Miro, the piercer, made me feel very comfortable and did an amazing job. I’ll definitely be returning for more!
Great experience at Dandyland Tattoo. The place was easy to find and clean inside. I didnt have an appointment. I just showed up on a Friday after work by myself and Miro took care of me. I was super nervous but he put me completely at ease. He was very gentle and somewhat soft-spoken. He changed his gloves 3 times during the 8-10 minute process. Its now a week later and Ive had no problems. I would definitely go back to Miro for future piercings.
After spending days researching shops in SA. I took a drive to dandyland after visiting one other locations. Warm welcome from the start. Consultation was spot on. Adrian made his tweaks to the reference I provided and he knocked it out of the park.
Aaron did a great job piercing my ears! He was professional and very personable. If you need any piercings (or tattoo) work, you need to come here. The facility is immaculately clean and inviting. Thanks Aaron!
Their customer service was excellent. They answered any questions I had towards a piercing. I highly recommend this place. The environment was welcoming and clean.
Super clean, very friendly and Ive always have had a great experience with either tattoos or piercings. Been a loyal fan for 17 years
Miro is always awesome. It had been so long we couldnt remember our gauges, but he checked us and set us up with beautiful new jewelry in no time flat! Dandyland is the only place well go for piercing work, and Miro is the only person well have work on us!
