Dawn is an amazing piercer! She is very professional and comforting. Knowledgeable and friendly too :) I had a great experience and will definitely be back.
Everyone at the front desk was also very friendly and welcoming. They showed me jewelry and the differences between them while I waited.

It was very good! My artist was Dan, he made me a traditional tattoo, he is very experienced and understanding, they have a minimum 100$ tattoo and they requested deposit to book your appointment, front desk guy was very attentive and kind, overall the artist looks cool and they know what they are doing, idefinitely will go back!

The shop was super clean! And maintained the whole time I was there. Very comforting!!! There wasn’t extra clutter around the shop which spoke to me as they care for the work environment and the clients in their chairs. All the artists were nice and welcoming, even with masks on I could tell they were happy to be there and to see their guests.
Now to the best part!!! My artist was Brooke, he is Hilde’s apprentice. He was FANTASTIC. He was easy to talk to when we would go over design ideas. While tattooing he kept everything clean and organized. The tattooing process was great. He took his time and made sure that the piece was perfect, he took pride in his work.
I will definitely be getting more work done by Brooke!!

personally, i think this place might be the best in west knox for piercings. i would trust Dawn the piercer with my life. She's great at placement and is quite informative. I would say the price is a little expensive, but you are also paying for a quality piercing experience. they choose your jewelry for you so that is something I wish I could do.

My kids are everything to me & my husband... So to have them mess up ONE of their names and then mess up BOTH of the years they were born is VERY insulting

I got my septum piercing done here today, and it was such a fantastic experience. Dawn was the sweetest and most helpful person to get a piercing from. (If I ever want another one I will absolutely go to her. The piercing looks fantastic and she made it so comfortable and fun. This is a throwaway email account but I had to leave a review. Thanks so much!

My sister and I saw Hannah today for matching tattoos, and I saw Dawn for a jewelry change.
Hannah was incredible! Her line work is amazing and she was very helpful with our questions about after care. For three tattoos (2 very small ones and 1 mid size one), we were there for 2.5 hours. She sanitized and cleaned after one of us was finished before starting the other. She was very diligent with sanitation. We had an amazing experience!
Dawn explained the type of jewelry she was using and how to best take it out, something I haven’t experienced with other piercers. She was also great at making sure everything was sanitized and clean! The jewelry change was painless and looks great!
The whole staff was incredible! Sanitation and safety are their main concerns, as well as making sure the clients feel comfortable! This will be my go-to place for all tattoos and piercings now!

I went in to originally to have a industrial piercing done but my anatomy was not good for this piercing and instead of doing it Dawn explained to me as to why I could not have this done. She was super sweet and friendly. Definitely made me feel comfortable and not brushing me off. She offered me to select another piercing instead of pushing me out the door like most places have done to me. I got my nose done. She was so gentle and made sure I was happy with it. She definitely is my new go too because I absolutely loved her. The receptionist was also very sweet. I loved my experience definitely would reccomend! ❤

This is officially the only shop in Knoxville I’ll be going to for my tattoos. The whole team is friendly and fun to work with, and they are all SO talented. Andrew did an incredible job on my sternum piece. Not only did he create a beautiful organic design made specifically for my body, but he was wonderful to be tattooed by. He made sure I felt comfortable and that we were on the same page throughout our entire 6-hour appointment together. I felt like I was in great hands, and appreciated the whole process. Definitely the best tattoo experience I’ve had.

Dawn provided the best piercing experience I've had by far! I've passed out numerous times before, but her calm voice and quick hands made it a wonderful experience
