Hornbill Jewelry & Piercing

Body piercing carries history and self-expression alike; Hornbill Jewelry & Piercing anchors this craft at 2 St Marks Pl. Ring pulls and stud placements happen daily—clients swing by for earlobes, cartilage, or industrial setups. Septum bridges, tongue piercings, and surface bars round out the core menu. Nipple and navel piercings draw steady interest, especially ahead of bikini weather. Lip and labret placements sit on the experimental edge without skipping the basics.

The shop is right in the East Village mix—easy to spot among the bodegas and boutiques. Give (347) 863-3131 a ring if you need a spot in their log; walk-ins do clear their own paths. Healed cartilage? Bring proof and a plan. Fresh lobes? Gloves and needles stay wrapped. Steel bars and titanium plugs get swapped in seconds if you’re upgrading from starter studs.

Use the map for a straight shot down St Marks to the door: directions here. New York never sleeps, but the aftercare checklists do.
