We’ve got exciting news — IRIS Tattoo is now officially open in Nashville, Tennessee! Known for its deep roots in music, art, and creativity, Nashville is the perfect city for our next chapter. As our third location, this expansion is more than just a new address — it’s a celebration of growth, artistry, and connection.
With a city as rich in culture and self-expression as Nashville, we couldn’t think of a better place to bring the IRIS experience to a whole new community of tattoo lovers, artists, and body art enthusiasts.
Meet the Team: Marianna and Em Lead the Way
We’re thrilled to have two incredibly talented professionals heading up our Nashville shop: Marianna, a tattoo artist with over 15 years of experience, and Em, our Head Piercer, where your dreams of adorning ears, face, and body are here to come true. Both bring an unmatched level of skill, creativity, and passion to the IRIS family and are dedicated to helping clients feel seen, heard, and celebrated in every session, fostering a flourishing artist/client relationship in your journey of body art.
Marianna is known for her attention to detail, vibrant artistry, and intuitive connection with her clients. Whether you’re coming in for a delicate fine-line design, a meaningful cover-up, or a full-scale custom piece, she approaches each project with care, artistry, and a deep understanding of tattoo as personal storytelling.
Em brings the same energy to the piercing side of the studio, offering safe, precise, and stylish piercings using only the highest quality materials. Em finds joy in letting shining pieces of gold and silver illuminate against the skin with every new piercing providing a new home to style! Her knowledge, professionalism, and welcoming vibe make every appointment a smooth, informed, and empowering experience — especially for first-timers. You’ll always feel that our artists and piercers are on your side in making sure your vision is beautifully executed and well taken care of.
Only the Best: High-Quality Jewelry and Materials
At IRIS Tattoo Nashville, we take quality seriously. For all piercings — whether it’s a simple lobe or a complex constellation of curated ear piercings — we use only implant-grade titanium and solid 14k and 18k gold jewelry to ensure optimal healing, safety, and style.
We’re proud to carry BVLA (Body Vision Los Angeles) — one of the most respected names in handmade luxury body jewelry. All of Iris Tattoo’s jewelry collection is hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and safe for fresh piercings while also crafted like fine jewelry, featuring genuine gemstones, expert craftsmanship, and modern and timeless designs. Whether you’re looking for a minimal gold hoop or an ornate statement stud, we’ve got you covered.
Free Consultations & Custom Quotes — Always
Whether you’re planning your very first tattoo, updating an old one, or envisioning a large-scale piece, we offer free consultations and personalized quotes for every project. Book here to learn more.
We know that every tattoo is personal, and we’re here to help you feel confident at every step. During your consultation, you can sit down with one of our artists to discuss your vision, ask questions, review style references, and plan something truly unique. We believe that the best tattoos come from genuine collaboration — and it all starts with a conversation.
Our artist also collaborates in cover-ups, and we approach them with sensitivity and strategy — focusing not on erasing the past, but transforming it into something new and more aligned with who you are today.
Nashville’s Creative Spirit Meets IRIS’s Signature Style
Nashville is more than just the country music capital — it’s a city built on self-expression, innovation, and community. From its vibrant murals to its underground art scene and DIY roots, Nashville pulses with creativity — and that makes it the perfect home for IRIS.
We’re excited to bring our signature blend of modern tattoo artistry, inclusive energy, and top-tier service to this artistic city. We’ve long admired Nashville’s mix of tradition and modern flair, and we’re honored to be a part of its evolving creative landscape.
As always, our focus is on creating a space that’s safe, stylish, and welcoming — where everyone, from tattoo veterans to total newbies, feels supported and inspired.
Celebrating Life, One Tattoo at a Time
At IRIS Tattoo Nashville, we love to help you celebrate life’s big (and small) moments. Whether you’re in town for a bachelorette party, birthday trip, bridal shower, or just a fun getaway with your crew, we’re here to help you make memories that last forever — literally.
We offer flash tattoo options designed specifically for groups and special events, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with our artists for custom pieces that tell your story. These aren’t your average tourist tattoos — they’re meaningful, beautifully designed keepsakes that reflect your connection, your vibe, and your moment.
Need help deciding? We’re always happy to suggest ideas that match your style and budget. From minimal fine-line designs to bold statement tattoos, we’ll work with you to create something you’ll love — and that you’ll always associate with your Nashville adventure.
