Nashville tattoo artist

Guillermo Cruz

When he steps away from the tattoo chair, Guillermo continues to infuse art into his life, whether designing t-shirts or dabbling in other artistic endeavors. It's been this way since he was a child in "La Isla del Encanto," Puerto Rico.

Guillermo's artistic journey evolved at "Escuela de Arte y Diseño de Puerto Rico." While at a local university bar, his serendipitous entry into the tattoo world happened when he stumbled upon a tattoo industry event. This sparked his interest in body art. 

Guillermo studied to become a professional tattoo artist in order to offer clients his best art. And, he'll tell you tattoos aren't a trend. They're a lifelong investment. So choose your artist very carefully.

If you're looking for an artist with range, you've found him. For over fifteen years, Guillermo has mastered just about every tattoo style, from realism to illustrative and everything in between, with his favorite being organic.

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.

Guillermo did an amazing job. My hummingbird looks real, and I have been getting lots of compliments. It's expensive but worth it. I followed the instructions very carefully, and my hummingbird looks as good months later. I am very pleased.

Being in Nashville and getting ink was a little concerning. Not familiar with the shop and company I was soon at ease after entering. People are super friendly, location is spotless and the artist Guillermo who did my ink was great. Top shelf location. Be back in April and working on a new design.

Guillermo was absolutely amazing and I am obsessed with my tattoo. Olivia and Alexis were so awesome and helped make the experience beyond comfortable! Will definitely be back!!

First tattoo and top to bottom it was an amazing experience. Studied artists for months and finally decided on Guillermo at H&H. Paid deposit and made my appointment, then drove 3.5 hours to Nashville on appointment day! Talked with Guillermo for a few minutes and explained exactly what I wanted and 10 minutes later I was on the table and he was working.
