Monarch Fine Jewelry + Professional Piercing pushes to redefine what it means to receive a piercing. We’ve devoted our studio solely to body piercing and all that pertains to the craft, even the smallest details.

The piercers at Monarch are some of Tennessee’s few members — and the Chattanooga area’s only members — of the Association of Professional Piercers. Likewise, our jewelry and piercing experts are dedicated to health and safety in every capacity, including our techniques, sterility, continued education, jewelry, and industry trends and standards.

Our showroom is home to the Chattanooga area's largest selection of fine body jewelry. The studio is on East Main Street, at the base of the Southside District; it’s just far enough from the bustle to include free off-street parking and to be wheelchair accessible.

I’m a sucker for a good color scheme and Ashley knocked it out of the park here—choosing arctic blue and amethyst pieces for her double flat that perfectly complement the periwinkle and lilac in her daith piece. Both studs and daith are from @anatometalinc. 💜❄️💜❄️💜❄️ #anatometal #daith #doubleflat #safepiercing #chattanoogapiercing #rosegold #daithjewelry #helixjewelry

We are so excited to have the lovely and talented Denice Powers piercing here this week! @powrfull_piercings has tons of experience and an impressive resume! She owns @inksmith_tattoocolorado and has so graciously come to Chattanooga to cover for Kelly while she’s out of town. You can book an appointment with her (including nostril and other piercings under the mask!) through the link in our bio. Let’s give Denice a warm welcome 😄💗

This mini pleades makes a bold statement, and that statement is “I have incredible style and I’m not afraid to use it!” #bvla#anastasiatopaz#paraibatopaz#medusapiercing #conchpiercing#monarchpiercing#bold#styleinspiration

Jewelry

We have one of Tennessee’s largest body jewelry showrooms. It includes several of the body piercing industry's most sought-after and known jewelers — like Anatometal, BVLA, NeoMetal, and Gorilla Glass — as well as smaller and/or more niche quality designers such as Buddha Jewelry, Pupil Hall, Dusk Body Jewelry, Quetzalli, Junipurr, Maya, and many more!

We carry only the highest quality materials for body piercing as well, such as implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136), glass, and solid 14- and 18-karat rose, yellow, and white gold.

Methods

We are the first studio in the state to perform completely “tool-free” piercings; we do not use clamps or piercing guns, as they very often add excessive pain and unnecessary risk.

Additionally, Monarch is the first studio in Tennessee and the only studio within a 100-mile radius in which all jewelry & piercing implements are single-use, meaning all items are sterilized in our autoclave, then disposed of immediately rather than being reused.
