I've wanted a nose piecing for years, but I've been too scared! I chose Dahlia because it's well regarded as one of the cleanest, most professional shops in town and for good reason. 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. Melissa was my piercer and she was incredibly clean and sterile. She also walked me through each step which greatly eased my anxiety and she worked very quickly which is always appreciated! read more

Dahlia Body Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I have suffered neurological issues for years and wanted relief in any way possible. I requested a daith piercing and when I got to my appt, the owner was so friendly and genuine. She was extraordinarily intelligent in her field and had integrity. 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. read more

the lady is super knowledgeable and very nice! she goes through the entire sanitation process before and thoroughly explains what she is doing while she is doing the piercing. i will def be coming back here for my other piercings. good price as well! jewelry is not included though so keep that in mind read more

10/10 piercing studio!!! Long review full of details ahead!! I originally had my double nostrils pierced in downtown Nashville, and 9 months later they were still hurting despite daily cleaning. The corkscrews kept getting caught and one had a gem fall out, so I figured it was time to upgrade. After a lot of searching for studios that weren't just out to make a quick buck off of tourists, I found Dahlia. Their website goes into great detail about their process and health precautions, and the online scheduling tool made it extremely easy for me to book a jewelry viewing appointment for the next day. The shop is on the backside of the businesses my GPS led me to, so it was a little hard to find for me but once I looped around they had their own parking which was great. You have to wait to be buzzed into the shop which creates a very safe space, and I was the only one in there during my visit. Melissa made me feel so comfortable and didn't judge me at all. She listened to what I wanted and helped me make the right decision while also being transparent about pricing. I expected to be sold the jewelry and leave, but she gave them a deep cleaning and installed them for me (free of charge). She gave me lots of advice on how to fully heal my nose piercings and also just had really great, genuine conversation. I will definitely be back for more jewelry and will definitely recommend this shop for anyone looking to upgrade their jewelry. Thank you again Melissa! read more

I came here to get my industrial pierced. Melissa was my piercer and the piercing is in a completely wrong and awkward spot that is not conducive to proper healing. I've have the piercing for a month and a half and now have to take it out to let it heal completely before trying again. I would not recommend coming here and it was definitely not worth the $150 I spent! read more

Melissa is just incredible. Knowledgable, intuitive, patient, and beyond talented and skilled. I will never go anywhere else unless it's to follow her. read more

Went in for a troubleshooting appointment which is completely free. The lady who helped me was very knowledgeable and explained thoroughly what I needed to do for my problem piercings to heal more easily. Once my piercings are healed, I look forward to coming back to get my jewelry switched out! read more

Great advice from trusted professionals. I'm grateful for shops like this. Highly recommend and respected:) read more

Several years ago I had gotten a cartilage piercing and kept the same piercing in. However, it got loose and fell out so I needed a replacement stud. I drove over to Dahlia and when I got there realized there was a sign on the door saying appointment only. I was about to turn around and drive home when an employee gave me the signal to wait. He walked over and opened the door and told me that I was in luck since an appointment had not shown up. There were able to assist me with picking out a high quality stud to replace my old one (they had just what I was looking for) and in minutes had sanitized and prepared a table for me to get fitted for the new stud. Great customer service, great experience and I would definitely come back. read more

Got my first ever piercings here and it went great. I'm super scared of needles but the staff made me feel very comfortable. They were very thorough and explained everything about piercing aftercare as well. Very pricey, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend, especially if it's your first time getting pierced. :) read more

The associates that helped me today were so friendly and knowledgeable (wish I had gotten their names). I've been here a few times and they have a high-end clean place with the best jewelry selection in town. I love the new location as it is much more accessible for people like me with disabilities. Switched out my monroe today and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend and look forward to going back! read more

Dahlia Body Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Beautiful little shop with gorgeous jewelry available. Really unique offerings with a lovely and knowledgeable staff. I also love that they're designated as a safe space. In a world where folks want to systematically take away queer folks's humanity, it's so important to know where to go that is welcoming. I will be back very soon. read more

I went to Dahlia's to get a second earlobe piercing and I would not recommend for a simple piercing. In the end, it cost just about $200 for the piercing on both lobes. There was no transparency on cost - the piercing, the earring, the back of the earring for both ears AND cleaning solution. The man who checks you in is also quite rude and scares you into thinking you won't even be able to sleep with new piercings. The shop was clean and they have very strict COVID protocols. Stephanie who did the piercing was very nice. read more

My friend and I went together to get piercings and the experience was great! Awesome jewelry selection & knowledgeable staff. LGBTQ+ friendly too :) read more

BettyAnn was wonderful! I've been wanting to get my nose pierced for over 9 years and finally was able to make that happen yesterday. I researched places throughout Middle Tennessee for weeks and was sold when I found Dahlia. She walks you through the entire process from choosing your jewelry (they have a GREAT selection!) to helping you take deeps breaths through the piercing process. The lady at the front (I'm sorry I don't remember your name!!) is also incredible. She is so sweet and helpful from first walking in to helping yocheck out! I love everything about this place. Go see them if you're wanting a beautiful piercing done by an amazing professional! Update: a year later I decided to go back and change out my tragus and rook piercing. They took their time helping me choose based on budget and style. They let me take my time again as I am so so so bad at making decisions but once it was time to change out the ring they were quick and easy. Thank you guys so much! Love my new jewelry already making plans to come get another one done. read more

I was recommended Dahlia by a friend. The staff was extremely nice and very well-informed. I went to get my ear lobes re-pierced and my septum pierced as well. The owner was very calming and my nerves were low. However, my cartilage in my nose was pierced instead of my soft spot which made it incredibly painful. I had to go to another piercer to get it re-pierced. The jewelry was also very expensive and was not expecting it to be almost $200 with tip. Overall, if you have the money, go to Dahlia. The reason for only three stars is because I had to go somewhere else to get my septum re-pierced and the high prices read more

I was scheduled for a surgery recently and dreaded having to remove all the metal out of my face...mainly my earrings. I have sensitive skin, so I only use surgical steel purchased from a professional. I also leave my earrings in most all of the time, because trying to put them back in by myself makes me super Hulk-like angry. (There are these little round pieces that have to be secured a certain way within the hoops, and I lose my cool every single time I try to put those suckers back in.) Anyway, for many years, I have followed BettyAnn all around this city before she had her own boutique. She has always been more than happy to put my earrings back in for me...and I'd give her a nice tip of course! Only the best for the best! This time around, I didn't know how long it would be before I would be able to go to the shop to have my earrings put back in...partially due to my healing time, and partially due to our current pandemic situation since it evolves daily. So I decided maybe it's time for an upgrade...to consider finding earrings durable enough to leave in most of the time, but are also not as difficult to put in as the hoops are. After perusing their website, I had questions, so I gave the shop a call. I spoke with George, and he was fantastic! He did not rush me despite that it was close to their closing time, allowed me to ask 39 gazillion questions, patiently answered all of them, and also advised on their current safety protocols to keep their clients safe from the possibility of exposure to SARS-CoV-2. By the end of it, I had a lot to consider, but I am in no way afraid of going to their shop during this pandemic. The measures they are taking are extreme and wonderful to keep us all safe...even as far as a requirement to book an appointment online so two people do not show up at the same time, and allowing the staff adequate time to clean top-to-bottom between each client. All of the above-mentioned reasons are exactly why I will keep giving my business to Dahlia. read more

Melissa is absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable and passionate about piercing and doing it right. I came in for a nostril piercing and she was so patient with me and helped me pick the perfect jewelry, then part way through the appointment she ended up replacing a helix piercing that I had gotten elsewhere that was having issues healing. She gave such through and helpful aftercare instructions and made the entire process informative and comfortable. Definitely the place to go!! read more

Melissa is amazing, will be coming back for all of my piercings! Kind, clean, knowledgeable and patient. Don't hesitate to book with her. Also a great selection of jewelry! And suuuuper honest!!! 10/10 read more

George and Melissa were both fantastic and made the process so easy. They really helped with my nerves. Excellent customer service from minute one! I would highly recommend! Thanks so much! read more

I had a couple dermals that were giving me trouble and I finally decided it was time for them to be removed. I set up a video consultation with Melissa to discuss the process with her and decided to make an appointment for later that evening. While I was feeling slightly anxious not knowing what the pain level would be, Melissa made me feel very comfortable!! I can't imagine a better experience and will absolutely return to Dahlia to see Melissa for any of my future piercing needs!! read more

Betty Ann, the piercer here, is the sweetest and most personable person. I came here for a conch piercing and she was very helpful, observant, and kind. There was a great selection of jewelry for all price ranges, and she actually asked what my budget was so that she did not offer something that I could not afford. Everything was sterile and organized, and she talked through the whole process and made sure the placement worked with my glasses and ear shape. I appreciate her time, professionalism, and patience. She's wonderful. I could not recommend this piercing studio more and I would certainly return to this studio for future piercings as well. Thank you so much!! read more

Dahlia Body Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I would like to start by saying the piercers are phenomenal, knowledgeable and kind. The cleanliness of the establishment is impeccable. The customer service however, by Melissa, is non existent. I want nothing but good things for this shop and for them to exceed, though the attitude given from Melissa is not acceptable, especially while spending top dollar for jewelry and piercings. I felt as if I was speaking with Regina Gorge and was being judge for not knowing the proper term for a piece of body jewelry... My apologies for not being in the industry. There's always room for improvement. For this shop, it's Melissa. read more

Melissa is an amazing piercer and special mention to George for kindly greeting me when I got to the shop while Melissa was finishing up with an earlier client. I had my septum pierced a couple of years ago and it was a complete debacle. The piercer wasn't happy with the placement of the ring and ended up doing it two more times THE SAME DAY. Needless to say, by the third attempt my septum was so swollen that it was never going to be right but I lived with it for a few months and ultimately removed it out of sheer frustration. Encouraged by all of Melissa's great reviews I decided to book an appointment with her at Dahlia. She was very friendly, professional and clearly experienced at her craft. I'm very happy with my PERFECTLY straight septum piercing and highly recommend. read more

I love it here! I've had to go back a few times to replace misplaced jewelry for a piercing, as well as troubleshoot some issues I had for another piercing. I have only had kind interactions with the staff, being both nice and very educational. I have yet to get a piercing here, but I know they'll be my go-to when I need one! read more

My daughter and I went to get her ears pierced for the third time. She has always gotten an infection before. This place is sterile! Fantastic attention to cleanliness. It is a spa like atmosphere. The jewelry is exquisite. If, like. Me you have no experience with piercing beyond ears, you only need to ask which earrings are for regular piercings. No judgment on the suburban mom. Logan, Betty ann and all were so kind and welcoming. I would recommend to anyone. Skip the mall. read more

Extremely pleased. The service was fantastic. Actually- indescribable. They were so knowledgeable and really listened to what I wanted to ensure I purchased the right jewelry. Melissa was superb and experienced at piercing and changing my jewelry for previous piercings . I highly recommended this place and making an appointment makes it even better. They send reminder texts! read more

Betty Ann is fantastic & fun to talk to! I received the daith piercing & the least obtrusive jewelry as I work in a more conservative field. I have chronic migraines, so I'm hoping this will be a longer term help, as I've currently been getting acupuncture (which has also helped). I would highly recommend her & the jewelry selection is beautiful!!! If I ever get another piercing done, I would definitely come back! June 2018 - Update: I had to have my piercing repierced after the jewelry came out in February (& I couldn't get down right away to get it put back in). It was pretty painless & she managed to go through the exact same spot. I had very minimal swelling/soreness & it healed super quickly. I would definitely go back again for any other piercing! read more

I made the hour and a half drive from Cookeville to Dahlia on a Tuesday afternoon as a walk-in. Betty Ann performed my piercing and was so professional. I was extremely apprehensive about going to a shop and a piercer I had never been to for such an intimate piercing. I knew I wanted a female piercer as a comfort factor. And as I have been to other 'Piercing and Tattoo' shops that I was less then happy with my experience for one reason or another. So limited to the information I can find on the internet, I took a shot and gosh I sure am happy I didn't go elsewhere. Arriving: There is limited parking and the streets are a pain to get around on (3-4PM). Walking up to the door you see a staircase. Yes, you are in the right place. Up the stairs you come to a door and there is Dahlia Body Piercing. Entering: The shop is so clean and welcoming. There is an array of selection of high quality body jewelry. Walking along the counters fascinated by all the I made an extensive wish list of jewelry and possibly more piercings. Piercing: As it was time for me to get my piercing she asked if I had any questions first. As I have done months of research I was surprised at how inaccurate the information I retrieved online was. About specific placement, what type of jewelry will be initially worn and rejection rate. I am completely happy with the placement of my piercing, experience and the professionalism of Betty Ann. I can not wait to return for another piercing! read more

I have never been into piercings so I was afraid I was going to hate this whole experience, BUT I couldn't be happier with my earrings/piercings.

I was super impressed by the infection control methods she used to make sure everything was clean and sterile. I absolutely love my results and can't wait to go back!! read more

Started off with the greeter chick telling me that my normal ear lobe piercing would NOT be able to be changed for 16 weeks. Which, is a bold face lie, the kind Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells on the daily. According to the American Association of Dermatology, ear lobe piercing can be changed after 6 weeks. This is a sales tactic to upsell you to their "premium" line- in which a small white gold stud is $114 each, not including piercing fee. The piercer was nice enough, the HIGHLIGHT was the apprentice dude, Noah. When I was checked out I wasn't given the option to NOT purchase their over priced $10 aftercare mist. I have had piercings previously, and even my nipple piercings weren't this costly. I would avoid like Kanye tried to avoid that Kardashian prenup.. read more

I recently had gone to Dahlia for a nose stud piercing. A few years ago I went somewhere in California for a nose piercing and I had bled profusely and fainted. So when I went into the shop, I told the man up front that that had happened to me in the past and that I was very nervous to try it again and he gave me some glucose tablets and the piercer Stephanie had SUCH a calming voice and really took care of me in my nervous state. She let me lay down as long as I needed and she was very quick and clean. When I'm ready for my next piercing I will be going here. read more
