Love it here!!! I have 6 tattoos from here by Brandi and she kills it every time! The business is in a little building surrounded by other businesses, so parking can be a challenge in the little lot sometimes. For those who are complaining about their tattoos fading, clearly do not know about fine line tattoos. They all need touch ups in a few weeks, it is simply the nature of a tattoo with a tiny needle. Don't take it out on the business because I know for a fact they disclose that in the papers you sign as well as verbally before you get the tattoo. The first touch up is free anyways! Do your research before deciding to get something permanent on your body. Come here for your fine line tattoos, you won't be disappointed. (As long as you come get a touchup, duh) read more

I got a tattoo by the new apprentice Clara and she did PHENOMENAL! I've been wanting this carnation for years now and always had trouble finding someone with open books to do this tattoo. I'm so glad i waited and got it done by Clara. Also loved the overall vibe of the shop. It's so refreshing and comfortable getting tattooed in a woman owned shop! I Will 100% be back for more tattoos! :) read more

My girlfriend and I wanted to get small lightening bolt tattoos on our visit from California. Chanel was our gal and she was very sweet. Problem is they turned out terrible. My girlfriend's tattoo looks choppy and faded even though it's been 8 weeks. Mine just looks like a stick and poke tattoo done by a child When advertising "fine line" tattooing and "tiny tattoos" you should be an Expert in such. This was insanely overpriced ($350 EACH for 1/2 an inch tiny tattoo) and a permanent mistake. Steer clear. read more

As a small business owner I hate to leave reviews like this but the lack of accountability by the artist really leaves me no choice. My bestie and I got matching finger tattoos just under three weeks ago. The tattoo experience itself was great, and the artist Chanel was nice. She mentioned to hat our first touch up was free and that finger tattoos (which we were getting) do fade a bit. Those were her exact words to us. Having nine other tattoos, and permanent makeup which is a form of fine line tattooing, I thought I knew what to expect. Boy was I wrong! A week after the tattoo was placed, it had faded drastically, to the point where you couldn't even make out what it was, or what it said. I contacted the artist who basically said that finger tattoos "always fade" and are, "hit and miss". Needless to say I was shocked by her response as we were never told they would fade so drastically, or that they wouldn't take at all. Here we are three weeks post tattoo and what remains on me looks like a bad prison tattoo done by an inmate with a shy hand. My tattoo is 80% (if not more) faded and looks like crap. Being that what remains is barely visible, but still there...it would be near impossible to place the stencil in the same place to have the tattoo look as crisp as it is supposed to. When I reached out to the artist again, she once again claimed that this was discussed at our appt. Excuse me, but who the heck who pay $350 plus tip for a tattoo what doesn't even last. Tattoos are supposed to be permanent. If my friend and I wanted something cute just for the weekend we would have drawn on ourselves with a sharpie. While the artist offered to redo the tattoo; the damage is already done. Would not reccomend, and now I need to have the remaining ink lasered off. Don't do it people, just stay away! read more

Enjoyed being at this beautiful location! Chanel was wonderful, as always. I can't imagine being treated any better!

I've never had a worse tattoo. I thought when I booked my appointment, I would be getting the skill behind the "Nashville Tiny Tattoos" Instagram, and if you do, you're probably fine, but if not, best wishes. My artist was telling me after she got started that she was up until 3am tattooing her husband, and my appointment was at 9:30am, so that didn't make me feel the best, and my very small tattoo took over an hour, which told me it wasn't going well, either. I never leave reviews, but this is something that is on your body forever unless you have to try and get it removed, which is now what I am going to have to do once this heals. read more

I'm thrilled with my lip tint and microbladed brows from Kurve. Seriously.... O V E R the top happy! Chanel is amazing. She did my lip tint a couple of months ago and the brows almost two weeks ago. There was zero pain thanks to a generous dollop of lidocaine and a few minutes for it to numb my skin. I highly recommend Chanel! read more

So happy that I found Kurve Beauty Studio! Chanel and Lex are so down to earth and they make you feel right at home. The studio has a really cool vibe and Chanel's work is amazing! Highly recommend!!!! read more

literally ZERO stars. These people want to say they care...they do not!!! My friend and I flew from Detroit. we had appointments...my girl cancelled Friday (Appt was Saturday morning). No big deal... I got tickets to the Johnny Cash Museum.. We are literally landed in Nashville, and the OWNER OF THE "Tattoo" Shop cancelled on my girl... We had a great time, I am coming there to celebrate my husbands 40th. We actually made appointments to get tatted. Not at Kurve though... that ship sailed..... they apparently don't like people that are from OUT OF TOWN...especially DETROIT‍‍‍‍‍ read more

If you are considering getting a tattoo done here, please rethink your decision. Go to an actual tattoo parlor, not an aesthetic esthetician studio. I had two tattoos done by Alli, an apprentice at this studio. Prior to making the appointment, I had no clue an apprentice was doing the tattoos, as she had contacted me first when I put myself on a waitlist to get tattoos done. Alli should have been upfront about the fact that she was an apprentice and her skills. I've had numerous tattoos done by professionals, and they are honest about what they can and cannot do. Alli should never have used this appointment as an excuse to practice permanent ink on my body. When I got to the shop, I found out that Alli was an apprentice. However, she didn't tell me she had only been tattooing for a few months and only on human skin for a month. Also, nobody overlooked her work, and she didn't wrap the tattoo as that is supposed to be done. I sent Alli photos of the design I wanted done a week before the appointment. If it was too complex, she should have said something. Obviously, Alli can't follow stencils, as shown in the photo at the bottom. My bird looks nothing like the stencil she was supposed to follow. The angel wings aren't symmetrical, ink is missing, and the halo isn't even a symmetrical circle. I flew in from California to get my tattoos done here because I saw the studio on TikTok. When emailing Chanel, she questioned me about whether or not I live in California since I used a Tennessee address on my form. That's none of her business. My family owns two residences in both states. Chanel added in her email to me after I complained that I "posted photos of my tattoos in a positive light on my Instagram." First off, that's actually insane that grown adult women were even looking at my Instagram, and while I know my account is public, that is still creepy. Second, I never posted the photo and was like, "Look at my tattoo." The photo was a mirror selfie of my shirt. Since it is permanent, unfortunately, you will be able to see the tattoo in photos. In no way does it reflect any joy I feel about them. Also, it's very ironic how Chanel asks Yelp to take down my mom's review because "this never happened," when in fact all this did happen because I have the tattoos as proof on my body. I want to add that I did get refunded for the tattoos, but Chanel or Alli never apologized or took ownership for the tattoos. Chanel is probably going to have some snappy come back for this review and make me seem like I'm delusional; she gaslights every single person who leaves a one-star review into thinking it's their fault. A good business owner takes ownership and does not place the blame on the customer when it's her employees that are doing the bad tattoos. Chanel will also include that they have a file on me, and she will say I knew Alli was an apprentice. When I arrived after flying from out of state, I found out she was an apprentice. At no time while discussing things over text did she acknowledge she wasn't with Nashville Fine Line Tattoos or an apprentice. If someone is an apprentice, they should be upfront and honest. It's the right thing to do, considering this is permanent. It's ironic now on Kurve Beauty's instagram they changed their highlights to reflect who's an apprentice and who isn't and on Nashville Fine Lines Instagram it has been changed as well. It's ironic Alli, an apprentice with only a few moths of experience charges what a professional in CA charges with over 20+ years of experience and is licensed. Also in California, Chanel you do need an apprenticeship. I don't know where you get your information from but it's required out here too and studios let you know PRIOR to the appointment what you're getting into. Save yourself from the drama and just go to a real tattoo parlor to get tattoos. My younger sister does henna better. read more

Emily is doing my lips and has been literally the best. She is very patient and through with everything she does. She is super easy to talk to when I am there. I have also gotten work done by Chanel for my tattoo work and she blows it out of the water as well. Both ladies I highly recommend and will keep coming back to both. Highly recommend this place for thin line tattoos and permanent makeup read more

I recently got a tattoo done here; I can't say enough good about it. My artist was Alli. I had brought a few sketches of what I had in mind, and she took time to ask me what I liked best about each sketch. She then combined them into exactly what I wanted. I had planned on the tattoo being in brown ink, and when she showed me the brown ink she noted that it might look better a slightly different hue (hue? shade? undertone?) with my complexion. She was right - it came out looking exactly like I'd hoped...I think the initial brown would have been too yellow. I love how the tattoo itself turned out; I get numerous compliments on it - especially the unique color. I'm several months out and it still looks great. Side note. It's not the most critical thing when what you're paying for is the finished product of the tattoo, but the process itself was made all the better by the friendliness of the staff. I was relieved at how down to earth and welcoming the salon was. read more

My second time to see Chanel , she is wonderful and talented. I would recommend anyone looking to get a beautiful tattoo to check them out .

Immediately upon arrival at Kurve Academy I felt welcomed and inspired by the energy and vibe that the studio exudes. I've been a stay at home mom of three for the last 12 years and went in with a healthy amount of anxiety about beginning a new career path. Chanel's eagerness to teach and her calm, comfortable demeanor quickly eased my nerves and truly made me feel that I was in the right place. I took the Microblade and Powder course as well as the Lip Blushing course. Chanel mapped out and set up the courses in a way that was efficient, effective, and extremely beneficial to not only learning these new skills, but applying them as well. Chanel was beyond patient with me through all of my questions and encouraged me every step of the way. One of the main reasons I wanted to take Chanel's courses over others offered in the area was because she offers them as one-on-one classes. Her commitment to my personal success was a clear priority to her. I can't thank Chanel enough for her expertise, dedication, and her joy in sharing her passion with me. I'm eager to learn more and grow as an artist and am so thankful that I get to have her as my mentor. read more
