Came in as a walk-in and they were so sweet and so professional. Sean absolutely killed it and was so nice and sweet. Also got my conch and daith jewelry changed while I was there and I know I paid for top-quality jewelry. It was so nice to go to an artist who didnβt try to haggle me on prices and has genuinely amazing work. I have found my home shop here in Nashville, I will not be going anywhere else.

I got my first tattoo here. The shop was very clean. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Rocky did my tattoo. I was nervous but he helped put me at ease and explained every step of the process. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely be back again.

The first couple of times I went were pretty good, but I wanted to do a walk-in rook piercing on the opposite ear of my daith I had gotten done about three weeks ago. Last Saturday, the person at the front desk checked my ear and asked me if I had gotten anything done recently. I said I got my daith done about 2-3 weeks ago and I haven't had any problems out of it. They got me started on the paperwork and in the middle of it, they came back and told me the piercer didn't feel comfortable doing it, but they could do it on the same side. I didn't want that. I asked how long I would need to wait. They said 4-5 months minimum. People get multiple piercings in both ears all the time, so I'm not sure why this was happening. Mind you, the piercer wouldn't even see me to check things out visually. I don't think I'll be coming back.

You want exceptional service and care? This is the place!! A year ago I had earlobe reconstruction. After a long wait I was finally ready to re-pierce them. I made an appointment with Melody and off I went! Here's the scoop-
1. The shop is beautiful and very clean. A++
2. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. Everyone I spoke with was super kind and helpful. They were happy to answer any questions I had, which in my experience, is not typically the case with a lot of tattoo/piercing shops.
3. The jewelry is very high quality. There are some standard options, then a HUGE array of beautiful, premium pieces to choose from.
4. My piercer Melody was awesome as heck!! Seriously. Super knowledgeable, even about my reconstructed lobes. She took her time to explain the reasoning behind everything she did, and offered lots of advice. She worked very hard to get the placement perfect which is tough to do when you're working around a bunch of scars. To boot, she was super upbeat and fun!
My experience here was 10/10, I HIGHLY recommend this shop!!

I've gotten multiple tattoos and multiple piercings here. I love the work and make it a point to come here because I like what they stand for. However, I called yesterday to ask if I could do a walk in tattoo and get nose jewelry changed out. I was told walk ins for both would be fine between 12-7 and would be gotten to quicker the earlier I came in. I drove an hour downtown and spent over 20 minutes finding a place to park due to construction and no parking lot only to be told their 1 artist today was fully booked and my nose jewelry didn't meet their standards to be changed out. Almost 3 hours wasted all because I was not given full information. Unlikely ill ever come back.

Iβve had nothing but such a great experience at Icon for all my piercings, Ian has made me feel more than comfortable and is so gentle! Will only go here for any piercings!

After receiving two piercings from different piercers and one from their apprentice, I can confidently say that Icon has one of the most comfortable and welcoming environments I have ever experienced. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed with a clean and vibrant display of jewelry, not to mention a bright welcome from the front of house workers; whom have extensive knowledge of their jewelry selections. Beyond their amazing knowledge they are also experienced in styling and photographing your tattoos and piercings after they are complete!
My first piercings were done by Grace which were a pair of eyebrows! From explaining the steps and placement, to the actual piercing itself there was constant communication and nothing was done without my knowledge. Aftercare was explained in full detail so I had nothing to do myself! Quick and precise and efficient.
Pain 3/10. Sore.
Next was a tiny little philtrum / βMedusaβ pierced by Melody! I came in with a lot of questions and they were answered perfectly. While awkward having someone all up in your mouth, it was made pretty comfortable from the piercers knowledge and explanation of what they were doing.
Again, aftercare explained in detail for the mouth specifically.
Pain 4/10. Pinchy.
Last (and certainly not least) is Grey! Theyβre the current apprentice at Icon as Iβm writing this and have already gained so much in their portfolio! We did a wonderful centered labret piercing. While going through it all I was comforted by hearing all of the same knowledge and techniques from the previous piercers. One quick inhale and exhale later, it was done! It also lines up perfectly with my philtrum.
Pain 1/10. Easy.

So far the experience was great for going in and doing a consultation with Tim peterson! He was patient, very in depth, truthful, and didn't rush us to make a decision. I can't wait to get tattoo'ed by him!

Five stars for Grace! I originally had another piercer here (I believe her name was Sacoon) put in my new hoop and it obviously did not fit my nose and looked so out of place. I told her that I wasnβt happy with it and she just sent me out the door. Thankfully I was able to see Grace and she corrected the issue. She listened to my concern and was able to adjust the hoop so it fit perfectly. Definitely see Grace if you are coming here!

Lynn is absolutely amazing! I first met her in the Murfreesboro location for a 1 month follow up for some other piercings I had done by another one of their piercers there and to talk about getting my lobes stretched. She had me come visit her at the Nashville location, where most her equipment is, and let me tell you I had the best experience. Went straight to a 2g and she walked me through the whole process, made sure I was okay the whole time and told me everything I needed to know. I love my plugs, I have had nothing but great service from both the Nashville and Murfreesboro location. I couldn't see myself visiting another place for piercings. Thank you so much!
