More Than a Tattoo Studio

While our name celebrates the art of the tattoo, our commitment to excellence extends to our full range of piercing services. Just like our tattoo artists, our professional piercers are masters of their craft, prioritizing precision, hygiene, and aesthetic placement.

Uncompromising Standards of Safety and Hygiene

Your health and safety are our top priorities. At Iris Tattoo & Piercings Nashville, we adhere to the most stringent hygiene protocols in the industry.

When you walk into our studio, you can feel confident that you are in a clean, safe, and professional environment.
