The rooms are private and welcoming, and every step is explained and described in detail. I cannot recommend Icon and Violet enough.

In my google search a comment on a Nashville Tattoos FB group popped up that Jake at Straight Edge Tattoo was running multiple flash sheets with part of the proceeds being donated to the Imagination Library in Dolly's honor. I had replied to the comment and asked if they were still running these not long after I got a response from Jake. I messaged him explaining we were only in town a few days and hoped to get in sometime the next day. Even though he was out of town for Redneck Rumble, he set us an appointment and came back to the shop the next day to get us in before we left! The hospitality was unmatched! I was so grateful that he was willing to do this for us. We chatted with some of the other artists that were getting ready to head to the show. The Dolly Parton flash was 1 for $80 or 2 for $100 and we both ended up getting 2. The shop was very clean and well maintained, they follow all the state guidelines for cleanness and proper paperwork. Every one in there was so inviting and hospitable. I would highly reccomend this shop and Jake as an artist. We will definitely be back next time we make it to Nashville! Thank you all for a great experience!

It has been a while since I originally got pierced here, and I have had so many issues. 3/5 of the piercings I got here ended up having issues that did not fully show up until later, after I had already decided not to come again because of one particularly bad experience. My helix was pierced with a butterfly back that was the wrong gauge. Because of this, it A) would not even start to heal until changing it, and B) has been very hard to find the right jewelry for since what was used isn't the right gauge for a cartilage piercing. Again, this was an issue I wasn't initially aware of. A while later I got my daith done, which was alright, but pierced with a curved barbell which I have since learned is not correct. I got my conch pierced, which was when I KNEW it was very wrong. The man who did it used a curved barbell. I ended up having to go to icon to get the jewelry changed. HIGHLY recommend them as they are very kind and professional. They told me that they had many previous issues with people getting piercings from absolute ink fixed. The people at absolute ink (specifically the men) are incredibly uncomfortable to be around too. Lilly was very nice, but that is not worth terribly pierced ears.

POSTING HERE BECAUSE ABSOLUTE DELETED IT FROM GOOGLE…read more I went into Absolute Ink with two friends about a week ago. My friend "A" wanted to get her nipples pierced. I got my lobes/nostril done, and my friend "H" got her lobes done too. I had been here previously (2020) and got my nipples pierced by Jade. I encouraged A to come here, since I knew Jade mentored the piercer Lilly. A went first, and told Lilly that other piercers had denied her the piercing due to anatomy. Lilly took one look and said it was "no problem" to do the piercing. She got everything set up and told A that she would pierce one nipple, then the other before her adrenaline ran out. H and I both watched her pierce the first one, then wait to pierce the second until AFTER A said she was coming down from the high. She left the tubes in both nipples and waited to put in the jewelry, causing more stress to A. (A 5 minute piercing took Lilly 30 minutes) She pierced both of A's nipples THROUGH THE BASE OF THE AREOLA!!!!!! The lobes and nostrils were done fairly successfully (though she lied about the jewelry being implant grade, and used the **SAME PIERCING CLAMP** on all three of us). A inquired about the jewelry, and Lilly STILL put EXTERNALLY THREADED jewelry in her nipples. The entire time...Lilly talked poorly about SEVERAL other shops and their work. She said no one in the body mod community liked her. She bashed apprentices as a whole, and even negatively commented on an artist that has tattooed H and I SEVERAL times. That day I paid for 7 piercings ($280) + $25 cash in jewelry + $70 cash tip to Lilly. On top of the trauma A suffered, Lilly would not refund the money, and cited a no refund clause. There is also a clause in the contract that states that Absolute uses the best techniques and materials. Absolute did NOT uphold their end of the contract. I reached out to Lilly, hoping to reach some sort for resolution, and she responded once, but has since ignored my messages. She knows she's unqualified and I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't have a piercing certification. This is an ASSAULT. Misinformation and malpractice to the highest degree. I paid for a gift for my friend that caused her trauma, and she had to get it removed the next day. She now has to wait to heal. I'm out the money, so she won't get the piercings she's wanted for years either way. This is the grossest piercer I have ever met. Her lack of personal/professional hygiene and morality lead me to NEVER RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE. Her sour breath only matches her sour heart, and that's why she's stuck at Absolute. DO NOT SUPPORT! **SHE WAS NOT GONE LONG ENOUGH TO PUT THE CLAMP THROUGH A SANITIZATION MACHINE NOR DID SHE OPEN NEW ONES! SHE USED A NIPPLE CLAMP ON MY NOSE, BOTH EARS, AND TWO OTHER PIERCINGS!**
