Obsidian Piercing Opens in Nantes
Obsidian Piercing is now settling into the heart of Nantes, France, a dynamic city where piercing culture keeps growing.
A new piercing studio in Nantes
A long-awaited opening for piercing enthusiasts
After 15 years of expertise designing and selling ASTM F-136 titanium jewelry, we wanted to go even further by opening a studio entirely dedicated to piercing. This opening gives the people of Nantes a modern, professional, specialist space, where every service is designed to guarantee safety, hygiene and comfort.
Our approach rests on three essential pillars: quality, with jewelry exclusively in ASTM F-136 titanium or 14k/18k gold; safety, thanks to strict protocols; and guidance, to support you through every step of your piercing experience.
With this new studio, we want to make our expertise accessible and offer a high-end service suited to every wish.
A modern piercing studio designed for your comfort
Our Nantes studio was designed to offer a reassuring, pleasant experience. The atmosphere is clean, bright and warm, so every client feels at ease from the moment they arrive. We use exclusively sterile, single-use equipment, meeting current standards, to guarantee flawless hygiene.
Our team strictly follows hygiene and safety rules, from setting up the station to sterilizing the equipment. Every procedure is done in a dedicated booth, equipped to ensure comfort and peace of mind.
Why choose Obsidian Piercing for your piercing in Nantes?
ASTM F-136 titanium piercings: the reference in safe materials
At Obsidian Piercing, we've chosen to use exclusively ASTM F-136 titanium for first-fitting jewelry. It's the safest, most recommended material for a new piercing: hypoallergenic, lightweight, durable and fully biocompatible. Unlike steel, which can contain nickel and cause irritation, titanium is ideal for avoiding skin reactions and supporting optimal healing.
This choice guarantees maximum comfort for every client, while minimizing the risk of infection or rejection. It's one of the key things that sets our studio apart from jewelry stores using unsuitable materials or techniques we don't recommend.
Secure starter jewelry: a labret is required for a successful piercing
For every piercing, we systematically fit labret-style jewelry, except for daith piercings or body piercings. Labret jewelry, with a flat disc on the back, is stable, comfortable, and avoids excessive friction, which reduces the risk of inflammation.
Fitting a hoop right away isn't possible: it would put too much pressure on the freshly pierced area, slow healing, and could cause complications.
A trained, professional, specialist team
Our team is made up of passionate professionals, trained in hygiene requirements, piercing techniques and safety protocols. Every piercer has completed comprehensive training in hygiene and piercing, so we can offer you a high-quality service that respects current standards.
We're also available to advise you before, during and after your appointment, to ensure a smooth, reassuring, personalized experience.
Which piercings can you get at our Nantes studio?
Ear piercings: helix, tragus, conch, rook, anti-helix and more
Our services cover the full range of ear piercings: helix, flat, rook, anti-helix, tragus, inner or outer conch, and much more. Whether you want a discreet look or a full "curated ear" project, we help you find the perfect jewelry.
Face piercings: nose, septum, medusa
We also do face piercings such as the nose, septum, medusa, and more. These areas call for real precision and professional skill. Thanks to ASTM F-136 titanium, you get a safe first fitting, perfectly suited to sensitive skin.
Body piercings: navel and nipples
For body piercings like the navel or nipples, we also use ASTM F-136 titanium to guarantee optimal healing. Since these areas are more prone to friction, we support you with tailored advice to avoid irritation and complications.

The piercing is done in a dedicated booth, with sterile equipment, using a professional technique that minimizes pain and ensures a safe procedure. We take the time to reassure you and explain every step.
4. Personalized aftercare advice
After your piercing, we give you personalized advice: daily hygiene, things to avoid, healing time by area, signs to watch for, and more. Everything is designed to support you all the way to full healing.
FAQ: your questions before your first piercing
Can I do click and collect?
We don't offer click and collect at the moment. That said, you can contact the studio directly and we'll set aside the jewelry you want. You can also order online and bring your jewelry to your appointment.
Can I bring my own jewelry for a first fitting?
Yes, as long as it's from Obsidian and suited to a first fitting. In that case, we can sterilize it on-site right before the piercing.
Can you change my piercing jewelry?
Yes, we do jewelry changes. The price is €5 for 1 to 3 pieces, and €10 beyond that, since some changes require extra sterile equipment.
How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
A dedicated link is included in your confirmation email. It lets you change or cancel your appointment in a few clicks.
What's the minimum age to get pierced?
Minors can get pierced under certain conditions, in particular with a legal guardian present or their written consent. That said, some placements remain off-limits for minors. We recommend calling our Nantes studio directly for this kind of question: +33 2 59 16 50 74
Can I get a hoop fitted right away?
No. To guarantee healthy healing, first-fitting jewelry must be a labret. A hoop can be fitted once healing is complete. The daith is one of the rare ear piercings where a hoop can be considered from the start, thanks to its particular placement.
What materials do you use for the jewelry?
We only use ASTM F-136 titanium and gold for first fittings. No steel jewelry is ever used for a fresh piercing.
How long does healing take?
Healing time varies by area: 6 to 8 weeks or more for a lobe, up to 6 to 9 months or more for cartilage piercings like the conch piercing or the helix piercing.
Are piercings painful?
Pain varies from person to person and by area, but the procedure is quick and done carefully to minimize the sensation.
