This was my first ever session with Jaysin Jefferson and Idle Hands and I couldn't be happier with…read morethe final result of both the tattooing and my interactions with the artist and shop. They acknowledged and made a bad situation right and that's all you can ask for. They have gained my trust and loyalty both for the quality of ink and how they handled a delicate situation. I will return and would recommend them to anyone I know. I retract and apologize for my last review, I wish I would have contacted them directly before going public, but I didn't know if they were trustworthy and honorable and now I do.

I came to this studio for a cover-up after a well known tattoo shop left my arm in terrible shape…read moreso bad I was seriously considering laser removal. It felt like a lost cause and I was about to give up on any kind of improvements until I met Jaysin. His skill, knowledge, and artistic vision completely changed the game. He didn't just cover the damage he transformed it into something I'm proud to wear. Jaysin's understanding of cover-up work is on another level! The studio itself is spotless, professional, and welcoming. Every time I walk in, the staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely good people. It's the kind of place that makes you feel taken care of from start to finish. After this experience, I plan on getting a lot more work done here because I know the artists there are legit and put everything they have into their work.

If you want to pay hundreds of dollars to get your ear reconstructed this is the place to go!!…read more 3 years ago i got double industrials done by the owners daughter, who i later found out didn't have an actual piercing license. When she did my piercing she pierced the bottom of my industrial through my cartilage and the bottom of the ear skin. This caused massive keloid tumors to form on the bottom of both of my industrial piercings. Throughout the last 2 years I've had to take out the bottom of my piercings and get many many expensive $300+ treatments to fix my ears. I now have to get plastic surgery on my left ear to fix the problems this business caused. Don't ever go to this place, they're unprofessional and their wavier that you sign is just to protect them from getting sued later on for their malpractice

If I could give 110 stars I would. This is by far the best tattoo studio in the area. I went to…read moreseveral shops before and everyone dismissed my timid self wanting a small first tattoo. The second I walked in the door I'm sure Steev could smell the fear on me but was very nice and after telling him what I wanted he handed me over to Kellie. She did a great job of talking me out of my nerves and has done every single one of my tattoos since. She takes pride in her work and cares about her clients and has the patience of Job I swear. Steev and Mal always speak to me when I come in and none of them have ever been anything but kind, caring, and helpful. I have not seen one piece of work any of them have done that isn't beyond stellar. Bonus points that they care about and are very involved in the community. Side note: The pictures of my hip don't do Kellie's art justice I'm just a really bad camera man .

I definitely recommend Born This Way for ear piercing. Four-ish years ago (at their previous…read morelocation) we had our daughter's ears pierced. She was about six at the time. We had a great experience then and we recently had another great experience at their newer Kingston Pike location. Online appointments are necessary but easy to reserve. You can read the bios and choose who you would like to work with and then choose an available appointment day and time. We chose to have our six year old's ears pierced here because of the cleanliness, friendliness and professionalism. It's important to note that if you're piercing your child's ears, go to their website and read it first. You need to bring a copy of the child's birth certificate and pay a reservation fee. The website provides lots of helpful information. Once we arrived for the appointment, I was impressed with the relaxed yet lovely setting. There are several display cases of various body jewelry. Merchandise is also available. And there are two seating areas. We were greeted immediately by a friendly employee, checked in and then we met with Barron who is a professional body piercer. He was very informative, patient and professional. The private piercing room was very clean and several steps were taken to ensure sterilization. The piercing process was efficient. Barron explained his process and followed up with aftercare information to ensure her new piercings healed correctly. Now, when it comes to piercing, you get what you pay for. The service and jewelry at Born This Way is more expensive than a say a business offering a piercing gun and nickel-free jewelry. But, Born This Way provides a safe, clean, welcoming environment. You work with a knowledgeable professional piercer and the jewelry is titanium and very good quality. We are very pleased with the whole experience and everyone we worked with at Born This Way.
