It can be challenging to get an appointment (look online and plan ahead), but it's a small shop. There was no one else in the shop while I got pierced except for the front desk employee, the piercer, me, and my friend which made me feel more comfortable.

She recommended that I not choose the daith (I didn't really WANT it) and she gave me science on why it wouldn't be effective for my situation. She preferred to be honest with me rather than take my quick money. I don't want a piercing but I would only go to her from now on if I did.

The space is very clean, and the jewelry is always top quality, and a decent price point. Icon is the shop you go to when you want to be pierced correctly from the start with quality jewelry. Icon has better hygiene standards than most doctors' offices I've been to. What rounds out what I like most about Icon is their balance between customer service friendliness and not suffering foolishness. Especially, now that I'm older, I genuinely like that they expect adults to act like adults and follow the rules that they've set out. My only issue with this business has always been the parking. The parking is kind of awful, but then again that's downtown Nashville for you.

Update 2023: For anyone reading this review and considering…read morea tattoo or a piercing, I strongly suggest and encourage you to go to Dark Raine Tattoo to see if you personally resonate with the staff and tattoo artists. My experience in this studio superseded my greatest expectations, yet I would prefer you go to this studio to personally make an intelligent and an independent educated consideration based on your real first hand experience - not my review and experience. There is a powerful energetic exchange between a tattoo artist and the client getting tattooed by the tattoo artist. So, it is a very powerful and life changing experience. One should practice careful discernment before selecting a tattoo artist, because the tattoo artist's energy, ART, and being will always be on a person forever unless that tattoo is removed or covered up with another tattoo. You want your tattoo to be connected with an artist you resonate with energetically and to be executed the way you want it. The Clarksville area has many talented tattoo artists from different tattoo studios to select for one's tattoo experience. I want all of these tattoo artists and studios to succeed and create wonderful experiences like Charlie did for us. I believe in sharing the wealth & acknowledgment of such talented artists AND creative freedom, wisdom, & independent choice in tattoo clients. Yet the only tattoo studio and artist I was drawn to was Dark Raine Tattoo Studio and Charlie. The final decision was based on my husband. If he didn't click with Charlie, we were prepared to walk away despite my insight, our time, and the arrangements I made for his consultation. Luckily, they were a professional match, and work began efficiently & immediately on the first day of meeting. This review is 100% genuine and based on superlative professional client interactions and epic tattoo workmanship of Charlie (not preferences and friendships) with the staff of Dark Raine Tattoo Studio. I am just a client not a friend giving credit where it is due. My husband was the client getting tattooed, and we paid the tattoo artist & studio owner the FULL price she quoted - in cash. We had limited cash but we wanted to pay her a FAIR & SATISFACTORY PRICE for her work and were willing to pay 100% in cash on the first day based on blind trust. Tattooing is a very invasive art form on human flesh that deserves more appreciation in the art world. I rarely trust or feel safe around people but I trusted her immediately the first day I talked to her; even though, I did not know her and had no rationale whatsoever to trust her with my loved one's skin to place permanent art and her energy forever. ***Charlie has a rare gift to make one feel safe and establish trust in her immediately. *** I knew intuitively that she was very talented, professional, and would be the perfect tattoo artist for my husband - with nothing else to go on except some past positive reviews about her and photos of her work. In fact, I was encouraged to dislike & dismiss her by others. I always replied back that I don't care what other people think and say. I judge people based on their treatment of me and my personal experience with them. The eagle tattoo Charlie created on my husband was beyond our expectations and devastatingly beautiful perfection. She never took breaks unless my husband requested a cigarette or bathroom break. Her work performance, vitality, and endurance were very impressive. She stood on her feet tattooing for a total of 15 hours (2 days work) with little rest. She even refused repeatedly to take a cash tip from us, but we insisted and gave it to her. If anything, her exemplary workmanship and professionalism was beyond our satisfaction and high expectations. Her tattoo demanded a higher price than what she quoted us. I would have given her an additional $1,000 in cash IF I had an astronomical and consistent cash flow to show our appreciation and gratitude to Charlie's superb craftsmanship. We were also impressed when she chose to accommodate us and work on a day that she was scheduled in advance to have off (but she sacrificed that day to complete the tattoo). After I placed my review about Dark Raine Tattoo Studio based on this personal experience I witnessed first hand, my review was attacked as being fake or none genuine by anonymous people online. I, also, got some negative and inappropriate feedback from people for months. I saw such responses as a reflection of who these people are and just dismissed their claims.
