Straight Edge Tattoo & Body

Communication is very very poor. I emailed Straight Edge throug Facebook to coordinate a time for new ink plus a touch up. I explained I work in a military capacity overseas, would be in very briefly and asked if they could accomodate my timeline. I also presented very specific instructions, with photos, as to what I would like regarding my tats. I received a very templated, "come in...pay $60-$100 deposit...speak to an artist to make an appointment." Tried the same thing with Victory Tattoo in Nashville. "No prooblem. See you then." I appreciate tattoo artists as much as anyone, but these guys seriously need a better system. See their message to me below:

That's awesome you found someone that can take care of you.. You was not just blown off, but sounds like you are a lil needy. This is what we tell all everyone that wants to make an appointment. We do not book anybody without a deposit and do not price any tattoos via message.. the reason is people just blow off there appointment time, due to no deposits. Good luck on your tattoo, and thank you for the BS message.

Will was amazing! Talked me through my helix piercings like a pro! Was informative, methodical, patient and kind. I will be back to support this business 👍🏿

Chris is an amazing artist and has fixed a few of my "sad tats" and made them beautiful!! He also did a gorgeous, sexy, vampiress tat on my left thigh! I get so many compliments! People say they have never seen anything like it, the detail is amazing, and she looks real!! This is by far my favorite tat shop!!

I walked in and asked for Dan, who I had been recommended to beforehand, and I had an amazing experience. It was my first tattoo and he was so helpful. I am so pleased with my tattoo and I would highly recommend him!

Daughter has gotten 2 piercings done here. I absolutely love the gentlemen who does them! Highly recommend him. Go check him out!

I got two piercings here, my belly button and my tragus. My piercer was Irish, he was really patient and easy to get along with. Everything was very sterile and my whole experience was enjoyable.

Called this business on Tuesday and was told the piercer was off but would be in on Wednesday. Called when I got off work today (Wednesday) to see what was in stock. The gentleman was quite short with me but said he had the size of plug I was looking for but then proceeded to tell me that it was so close to close that I needed to get there quickly (it was 9:40 and they close at 10) and I asked if I could be there in five would that be ok and his exact reply was "yeah if you're just wanting to look." I said I'd come in but after hanging up I figured why should I? So I called back to tell them I didn't want to inconvenience them so close to when they close and I'll go else where and was hung up on without a single word after "straight edge".

This is, hands down, one of the best shops I've ever had the privilege to work with. I've been to more than a few tattoo shops both here and in Florida and their quality and artistry is absolutely unmatched. Everyone there is incredible at their signature style and the guys are absolutely some of the most professional tattooers I've ever met. I'm currently getting a classic horror leg sleeve done by Will Wood and it's mind-blowingly amazing. I'm stopped everywhere I go by so many people who are stunned by the quality of my tattoos, and they have even gotten the "mom stamp of approval". (Come on folks, that's good work.) I can honestly say I have never been prouder of any tattoo work I have gotten done. Will Harper has also helped me out with my web piercing when I was turned down by some of the other shops here in Murfreesboro. If you are anywhere near the Murfreesboro area, this is definitely the place you want to go for any type of tattoo or piercing. If you're doing your research, and want a tattoo or piercing you can be proud of, it's only going to lead you to one place: Straight Edge Tattoo and Body Piercing in Murfreesboro TN.

Incredible talent, clean shop, and friendly staff make Straight Edge THE place to go for ink in middle Tennessee. Chris is fantastic - great experience all around. Take it from this repeat customer, you won't be disappointed!

I'm Will, the piercier at Straight Edge. One, I am very talkative and enjoy my job. I talked to the girl from the last review from the time we went in, til the time the piercing was over. Two, Yes the area was bleeding and scar tissue mannipulated the area and i did miss it by not holding the clamp as tight as i should have to reduce the bleeding so yes im fault for that. But it was not missed by much at all but was told by her it was ok afterwards, it was ok... knew nothing else till she called back a day later to talk to my boss. She has been told it would be made up to her. I have always tried to make all my customers happy.. and the clamps they went in the dirty bin to be cleaned and autoclaved all clamps are sterile for everyone and all needles are single use needles. After seven years of piercing, NASTY is one thing I AM NOT and never will be in dealing with the public.....
