I am finishing off the bathroom. I tiled all of the walls and the
floor. I am now ready to mount my shower curtain. I got the 'bow' type
that extends the curtain out over the edge of the tub, so it will need
to be mounted to the tile somehow.

Umm...why on earth didn't you sort this out BEFORE you installed the tile?
You easily could have drilled holes, whatever BEFORE you put in the tiles..
Sheesh, this is DIY 101.

Not really - my measurements are not that precise (a zillion tiles
with fitting in advance) plus I did not have the curtain bar since it
was special order, so I did not know the placement nor what the hole
alignment would be at all. I readily admit to being a novice, not an
expert, as you appear to be.

I'll keep that sage advice in mind for the next job I do another 20
years from now.

BTW, I opted for the butterfly anchor system with a 1/2" diamond drill
to fit it thru. If I do happen to catch a stud by some miracle, I'll
just use a regular screw thru the hole into the studding. I am a
little nervous about drilling thru 1'X2' tiles though...
