I started going to this shop when I moved to Murfreesboro three years ago. At the time the roster of artists and piercers was a little different than it is now. Regardless, I have nothing but praise to give to their current staff. Sean Drennen has done a sleeve on me from his time at the shop and I have been pierced at the shop multiple times while Linz Chadwick worked at the location. The piercing at the shop has come under fire from some of the work their former piercer performed. Linz is again the current piercer and a talented tattoo artist as well. Ive been tattooed by Linz five times and have five piercings from her. She is a skilled artist and has 10 years of piercing under her belt. She has performed some difficult piercings on me including facial dermals and sensitive ones like my nipples. She makes herself available to her clientele outside of business hours whenever they have any questions on her work. When my facial dermals started to reject after nine months, through no fault of her own, they are just a finicky piercing and can easily decide to surface, I text her and she told me to come in the shop and she removed them quickly. As a female getting something like your nipples pierced can be an awkward experience, but Linz was very professional and the process was very quick with minimal discomfort from the whole thing. Ive heard a lot of horror stories about unprofessional behavior by male piercer in the past and this is not something you need to worry about with this piercer. I highly recommend you give this shop a look if youre thinking about getting any work done in Middle Tennessee. Stop by the shop and give the artists portfolios a look, meet the team, you wont regret it.

This review is for the piercing portion of the place, as I have never been tattooed by any of the artists here. Please please please do not go here to get a piercing done. The body piercers at Icon do a way better job. A couple of years ago I went here to get my suptum pierced, the piercer pierced it in such a strange place (so high towards the tip of my nose) and then pierced my friends lip. Her lip ring was pierced crooked and it looked awful. The piercer tried to make excuses about it but it was crooked, plain and simple. A year and a half later I decided to give the shop another try, they had a new piercer, Ashley. Me and a friend both went to get our nipples pierced. This experience was a nightmare. She pierced both of mine and then I hear her say "oh no" and that she pierced them with the wrong size needle. She then proceeded to take the needles out while blood gushed down my chest. She gave me two options; to pierce them again that evening, or wait, come back and have it be even more painful after scar tissue had formed. So I chose the first option. She did not pierce them in the correct place and charged me full price for the traumatic piercing. I will NEVER go back here, and warn anyone I know to stay away!! Super bad way to handle business, and just inexperienced artists!!

I am not great with needles and this was my first piercing, so I had a lot anxiety over having my ears pierced. Linz was extremely professional and kind. She was patient with me and made sure I was 100% comfortable. She took extra care to make sure everything was steril and done properly! When we were done, she made sure to go through all of the instructions with me since I am new to piercings. I have read through some of these bad reviews and they do not at all reflect the atmosphere and the experience I had. For reference the date of both my piercing and subsequently this post is August 26, 2017 (08/27/2017). Not only would I go back if I wanted another piercing, I would recommend them to anyone asking. I dont easily recommend places... So, that is how good they are.

The piercer Ashley (the one with the dreads) never finished her apprenticeship! Anyone in the state of Tennessee can get a license to pierce with no previous experience, She is far from being ready to pierce on her own. sometimes it will take her 2 or 3 trials to do the piercing, often it will be crooked. Half of the piercing types she never learned how to do but yet she is willing to experiment on you. piercing shouldnt bleed when you get them. think twice before you let her permanently scar you or even worse make you loose sensation for the rest of your life. Cheap doesnt mean quality. check for yourself if you dont believe

Apparently, their gift certificate expire after 6 months. This is a horrible business practice. The money they took for the gift certificate is still good, but their document is not. Money was spend on a worthless piece of paper, issued by them, that they will not honor. I wonder if their tattoo ink is equally as temporary. There are many other business, in the area, that do not have an expiration date on their gift certificates. It takes time to plan something as serious and permanent as a tattoo or piercing. There should not be a time limit on such a decision. Bad Business!

These are good people with a great environment. They do excellent work. My respect to Ashley Pritchett a talented, hardworking and determind peircing artist. Her peircings are flawless, precise and her work speaks for itself. She provides a friendly attitude and advice that is comforting and informative. I look forward to getting another peircing. May her work inspire other young tattoo and peircing artist to follow their dreams. Remember to ask for Ashley for all your peircing needs. You wont be disappointed

So Ive been tattooed and Pierced in this shop (tattooed by a previous artist and Pierced by Linz Chadwick) and they really are amazing. Ive gotten piercings from Linz at different shops for years and I follow her wherever she goes, and super excited shes back!! Ive sent several friends to her and dont recommend anybody but her when I have friends ask me about piercing recommendations. The shop itself is a very clean and cool little place to hang, and Ive always enjoyed my time in there.

If I could give it less than 1 star, I would. Appointment was at 2:00, artist didnt even get there til after 3:00, and even though appointment was set up weeks in advance, he took another 2 hours at least just drawing it up. Another hour for setting up, and tattoo started at 6:00. Didnt leave til after 11:00. 5 hours of work and not even a quarter of a 3/4 sleeve is done. Good luck to those who try this. Maybe youll have better luck

Found out about this place through Instagram. Decided to go here for my septum piercing. The atmosphere is professional but not stuck-up. Theres nothing but positivity from the staff. Linz did my actual piercing and she did a fantastic job. I actually have a deviated septum, so she explained to me what that means for my piercing and the best type of jewelry to work with that. Great experience. Cant wait to come back for ink!

Their piercer, Linz is the only piercer I will let pierce me. Shes fantastic, shes professional, you couldnt ask for a better gal to poke you with a needle. I got a dermal anchor done by her, without question or compliant, she checked my healing progress for a few weeks. My sister and my mother go to her for their piercings, and when my daughter is ready to pierce her ears, well go only to Linz. Shes hands down, the best.
