Nine Inch Nails is a band, and that is their logo

Also the person's comment is lyrics to their most famous song. Except "a manicure" is originally "what you deserve".

I would absolutely not call that his most famous song. That would probably be Closer

Head Like a Hole was his first single and the song that got him popular.

Teeeechhhhnically Down in It came out first, but yeah, Head Like a Hole was infinitely more popular.

And the caption is a play on lyrics from their song "Head Like A Hole"

"bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve"

Nin is a band you need to know

The text is a reference to a Nine Inch Nails song, which also seems to be where the place took their logo from.
