About Emily Miles
Originally from South Carolina, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of South Carolina Upstate in 2016. After graduation, I moved to Atlanta to pursue my nursing career, where I’ve worked in Oncology ever since. While I still work per diem as a Registered Nurse, I made the decision to follow a long-time personal passion: body piercing.
In 2021, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime when Olde School Tattoo brought me on as an apprentice under Jeremy Harris.
I completed my apprenticeship and have been piercing professionally since 2022. I love both fields—nursing and piercing—because they allow me to work hands-on with the human body in very different but equally meaningful ways.
As a piercer, I’m known for being quick, efficient, and informative. I strive to create a calm, welcoming, and safe space for every client—where questions are encouraged, anxieties are met with patience, and everyone feels respected. Whether I’m guiding someone through their first piercing or helping troubleshoot healing concerns, I make sure each person feels supported, understood, and empowered throughout the process.
Outside of work, you can usually find me at a music festival, dancing at a local show, or planning my next trip. Live music, movement, and connection are big parts of what fuel me. When I’m not out and about, you’ll find me at home cuddling our fur babies and getting lost in a good book
