Drew Thomas

Meet Drew Thomas, the insanely talented tattoo artist from the Duneland area of northern Indiana, just a stone's throw from Chicago. His journey to tattooing began in 1996 after a "somewhat misguided decision" to shift his college major from Pre-Med to Philosophy to Studio Art & History. Unemployed after graduation, a friend's suggestion led him to try tattooing, with his first canvas being the woman who would later become his wife.

Now, 27 years and over 10,000 clients later, Drew's versatile artistry thrives in black-and-gray realism, fine detail, and illustrative line work. But, for Drew, it's not so much about his creativity as it is about offering clients a chance to make an emphatic statement—expressing their thoughts, dreams, and memories in whatever style they prefer.

Drew is still married to his muse and the two enjoy savoring the music, breweries, and restaurants of the city and passionately cheering for their favorite soccer team—Nashville SC.

I was paired with Drew, who was kind, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. He explained the entire process, made sure I was comfortable throughout the 7–8 hour session, and took regular breaks to help me stay relaxed. The little details—like giving a heads-up before wiping or adjusting—really stood out. He created a calm, respectful environment where I felt totally at ease. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and genuinely caring tattoo shop—HH Tattoo is the place to go!

Decided to get my first tattoo in Nashville, showing an „organ donor symbol“ by a European awareness campaign. Was not sure what to expect for the first tattoo, but the whole experience was great! Drew took a lot of time explaining the procedure and showed different sizes of the design. I felt all well the whole time and, most importantly, love the result! Thank you very much!!

Drew at H&H tattoo Nashville was professional, clear in his communication on the design I wanted and was enjoyable to talk to while I was getting my tattoo. The design is solid and clean and will remind me of my time here in Nashville. Thanks Drew.

This was my first tattoo and Drew talked me through the entire experience. He was exceptional. It didn't hurt at all. It was a little pricey but I figured it was the location, got it done in Nashville on a girls trip.

Had to reschedule my appointment last minute and the team was very cooperative! I worked with Drew and he was the best guy! He explained his process, super nice guy and very skillful! Had a good chat with him as well! 100% would recommend if you are in Nashville.

Scheduled an impromptu for a new tattoo. Haven’t had any work done in about 12 years so I was nervous. Great atmosphere and conveniently located downtown near my office for post-work appointments. Drew proved his experience and was very professional and careful-handed with my chest tattoo. He cleaned up a draft I shared and provided a few diff sizes to get the right fit. Not too painful honestly and I have low tolerance. It went very smoothly and pretty quick!
