Cody Maestas

Cody may be a perfectionist, but he knows how to color outside the lines. He’s been into tattoos since he was 15 and professionally inking for several years now.

He’s known here for his keen eye for detail and passion for making things beautiful, whether it’s a precise geometric piece or watercolor work. Either way, Cody makes it all look easy. And everyone who has the privilege of sitting in his chair feels at ease with him.

Outside our four walls, he spends his spare time raising his two kids, helping them see the beauty of the world in their own eyes.

Perfect spot to fill a rainy day in Nashville. HH doesn't have flash pieces to choose from so make sure you have your idea in mind. Reference photos or artwork will speed up the process but even still both myself and my wife walked in at 1030am on a Saturday and were being tattooed at 12pm. Cody and Guillermo both did great work we could have been happier with the designs they brought to life on our skin in only a couple of hours.

This was my first tattoo and I am blown away at how good it is! The whole process for checking in, getting the tat, and the post care instructions was fast and professional. Cody took my concept sketch, came up with exactly what I wanted (better than I imagined, actually), and then created a masterpiece on my shoulder. I can't believe the fine details he was able to achieve.

Cody was awesome! He took the design I was wanting and elevated it to be absolutely amazing! He was working around a previous tattoo that I already had, and he incorporated it so well. So so so happy with his work. Very clean, professional, and skilled.

My whole experience was top notch! From booking to getting my tattoo, even the other artists taking a look and complimenting after. The atmosphere was wonderful. Cody was my artist, he was kind, knowledgeable and excellent. My tattoo is beautiful, and I will forever treasure it. Having my Dad with me to hand write on the spot had us both teary eyed on the way home. Looks like I will be coming back for more 🩷

My husband and I were visiting Nashville and were just walking around when we stumbled upon Hart & Huntington! We went up to check it out and next thing we know we had an appointment for 8pm that night! The staff is SO nice and the place is super clean. I can’t say enough nice things about this place. My husband and I had Cody as our artist and he killed it! We are very picky when it comes to who does our tattoos and I would come back time and time again! Thank you!!

Wish I took pictures while I was there! Set up an appointment with Cody, and I have to say, he has much appreciated talent. Showed up at 10AM right when they opened the doors and worked out my ideas with the front staff, and by 1pm, I was getting started! The place was super chill! Since it is Nashville, the bar below was playing some pretty good music that set the tone for above. The work by far exceeded my expectations.

If you want quality tattoos, Hart and Huntington is the place to get tattooed in Nashville. I have now had 4 sessions with Cody, and I could not be more pleased with the results both pre and post healing process. A couple years back I came to Cody as a walk in for a small tattoo on my thigh and the work was incredible. Cody was extremely easy to converse with and was able to take my simple vision and create a beautiful piece of permanent art.

We (my wife and I) have worked with Cody and Alejandro. Excellent experiences on all visits. These artists are true professionals and ensure a perfect visit every time. From dressings to pain management in session, they are in tune with their clients needs.

Aaron Frederick for Alejandro Acosta, Cody Maestas

Cody was great! I came in with a flash design, and he crushed it. I wanted to get a small tattoo for my 41st birthday, and I came in close to closing time, and they accommodated me. The check-in staff was knowledgeable and helped me determine the best placement for my small tattoo. They advised against me getting it in a place that wouldn't fair well over time, and I appreciate their customer service.

Sharon Wheaton for Cody Maestas

If I could give it 6 stars I would. Cody is exactly what I was looking for when getting something on my body permanently. I live no where near the Nashville area and will travel down for more work from him.

Eric Gast for Cody Maestas

Love my tattoo. Cody did an awesome job and is cool to chat with. Will be going back to him again for my next tattoo. Little bit pricey but it is def location. I am willing to pay more to get the work done right.

Mariana Sandoval for Cody Maestas

In Nashville for a friend's 50th birthday and four of us decided to get tattoos. This was my first and I was definitely nervous. Yasir was so generous with his time, helping me get right with my decision. On our way to the appointment, we had an unforeseen emergency. H&H were so accommodating and were able to fit us in before we flew home the next morning. Cody did such an amazing job, not only dealing with me, but with the art itself.

Mackenzie Monaco for Cody Maestas

Great Staff. Clean environment. Amazing work done by Austin M. My friend had work done by Cody M. and was also satisfied with the job. If you want something original and not just out of a book, come here.

Phillip Henderson for Austin Modglin, Cody Maestas

This place made us feel so comfortable... like we were at home. My daughter wanted her first tattoo, as well as myself and my sister wanted sister tats. When I say they went above and beyond. They eased my daughter’s nerves. At the end of her getting finished I heard her say “that’s it”. I love the sister tats and Tarik took my rose vision and turned it into more than I expected!! Ariel thank you for your sweet spirit and welcoming presence. Tarik, Cody and Austin thank you for what you do. It’s not just ink, it’s Art... I’ll be back.

Evette Green for Austin Modglin, Cody Maestas, Tarik Tatham

Getting my first tattoo here was the best thing i could have ever done! Cody was the nicest ever and did a phenomenal job on my piece and my moms! Highly HIGHLY recommend him and this shop!

Sam Waggoner for Cody Maestas

Such a good experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The two front desk ladies went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Definitely the least painful of all of my tattoos and they gave us some aftercare products too 👏🏼 Thank you so much!!!

Faith Richards for Cody Maestas

Amazing experience. Completely professional and friendly. Called one day ahead of time, was able to complete consultation and have an appointment the next day at 12:30pm. Cody was my artist and he was wonderful, literally felt nothing. Great conversation and overall wonderful experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo.

Lisa Deitz for Cody Maestas

Cody was outstanding! Made appts for my daughter and I, he got in touch with us quickly as to what we were wanting, paid our deposits, and voila we were set! Went in today and got our work done! Couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out! He got them both spot on and his work is perfection! He's a genuine guy with an amazing gift! So happy we found him!! Thank you Cody!!

I absolutely LOVE my tattoo. Cody is an amazingly talented artist and did a fantastic job. The place is super clean and very professional. I had a great experience.

JenniAnne Holmes for Cody Maestas

Cody, you are a serious talent with an amazing story to tell. It was an honor to have your passion now a part of me. Like you, I followed my dream long ago. It makes perfect sense to have an artist like you set the ink. You will be a star. I already gave you 5!

Walking into to Hart and Huntington you are instantly impressed with how immaculate the place is. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My artist was Cody Maestas. His input with size and placement in working around my idea for a traditional sleeve was very helpful and the color palate he used was amazing. I would highly recommend this place if you were around the area looking to get some work done.

David Brown for Cody Maestas

Walked in on impulse. Cody and Yasir were very happy to help us out. Extremely clean studio!! Definitely would go back if ever in Nashville again. Cody took a design my friend drew and turned it into a wonderful tattoo.
