Absolutely great tattoo shop, very friendly staff and easy process. Shop is well laid out with merchandise and seating. Tattoo area is highly professional with state of the art equipment. Tarik is an amazing artist and tattooist, the detail is incredible, living up to the legend of Gibson Guitar’s - Les Paul. If in Nashville, book Tarik @tatosaurusrex_ @hhnashville you can thank me later.

Les Hartas for Tarik Tatham

Blown away by Tarik and his ability to see my vision with my first tattoo! He made me feel comfortable and did a stunning job on the design! 10/10 would 100% go back for future tattoos. Everyone was so incredibly nice and walked me through the entire process from start to finish. If you are a local or visiting for a few days and are thinking about getting a tattoo, I cannot recommend this place enough; especially Tarik!

Jack Priest for Tarik Tatham

Best customer service. The artist that worked with me, Tarik, is amazing. Patient, kind and clean environment. I got several tattoos by Tarik. He's an amazing artist.

Sasha Vanessa Brenes for Tarik Tatham

I’ve gotten 3 tattoos there so far. I fly in from New Jersey and make sure Hart & Huntington is my first stop every time. Tarik is a fantastic artist and an even better guy to work with.

Eric Sandberg for Tarik Tatham

I’ve been wanting a second tattoo for a year or so, but could never settle on a place to get it. My husband and I stumbled up to look at the clothes kind of unexpectedly, and I ended up getting my second here! The entire experience felt very professional. The shop was clean and everyone was friendly. I’m really happy with my second tattoo and couldn’t have asked for a better artist- thank you Tarik!

Brianna Williams for Tarik Tatham

My tattoo artist is Tarik. I walked into this tattoo shop looking to get a cover up on two tattoos I got years ago. Tarik greeted me with open arms. He talked to me like he had known me for years, which of course made me feel comfortable from the very start. I could tell he was passionate about his work and genuinely loves doing tattoos. He took his time drawing me a beautiful piece… adjusting any and everything I mentioned to perfection.

Laura Parker for Tarik Tatham

Tarik was wonderful! He was patient with moving my design around and helped to calm my nerves. Everyone who works there was incredibly nice, patient and accommodating. The overall experience was great as well!

Natalie Reading for Tarik Tatham

My husband and I were in town for his birthday and wanted something to commemorate the trip. We picked out just small tattoos. We were treated well, with the same enthusiasm as if we were getting substantial pieces. The experience was wonderful; Tarik was awesome!!

Rebecca Swanson for Tarik Tatham

I came in as a walk-in on visit to Nashville and had a really easy experience. I got an awesome tattoo from Tarik—it came out exactly how I wanted and he listened to all the feedback I gave. Money well spent! Would definitely go to him again if I'm ever in the area.

Alishia for Tarik Tatham

My wife got a tattoo at the same time by Tarik which was equally impressive. I would recommend these guys 1000 times out of 1000. It's a pretty neat shop too, located in the second floor of an old, brick building. Very clean and well kept.

Matt Hopkins for Tarik Tatham

Steve Schultz for Tarik Tatham

Tarik was excellent to work with! I got my tattoo Sept 19th while on my honeymoon. He did an excellent job, I love my new tat!!! Thanks so so much Tarik! Black and gray watercolor around my butterflies on my upper thigh. I gotta know what you named your new puppy?

Patricia Millerbernd for Tarik Tatham

My husband and I decided to get couples tattoo since we are newlyweds. We were greeted by Jes/Jessica and she let us know they did not have availability on that particular day, but gave us options for the next day. She was so sweet and informative. She left a great impression on us and got us amped for the next day. My husband and I had Tarik as our artist. He is amazing and I loved having him.

Jerica Teelucksingh for Tarik Tatham

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

The staff was amazing. We received emails and phone connections during the planning phase of our tattoos all the way up to the moment of our tattoos. Austin and Tarik are absolutely amazing, professional, friendly and took so much care to ensure our experience was the best. The staff handled all of their customers perfectly during this pandemic, full masks, temps taken at door before entry and ensured everyone coming in washed their hands.

Jenn Knows! for Austin Modglin, Tarik Tatham

All of the staff were very friendly and professional and Tarik did such a fantastic job on my tattoo! He took his time to be sure it was placed exactly how I wanted it before we got started and I'm super happy with the results!

Shari Queeney for Tarik Tatham

Excellent professional shop from initial contact to completion. Tarik understood exactly what I was looking for and suggested improvements to the location of my Battlefield Cross...in all, I’m very happy with the results. I will definitely revisit and highly recommend Hart & Huntington Tattoo Co.

John Mangels for Tarik Tatham

Tarik did such a great job! I have gotten so many compliments on how detailed my new tattoo is. He took his time, which I appreciated, to make it perfect and something he was proud of. The atmosphere in the shop is awesome. Clean, trendy & comfortable. So glad we took the chance to see if we could walk in!

Lindsay Spears for Tarik Tatham

Everyone at the shop was super nice and professional. They made sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into. Tarik and Cody were the best tattoo artists we could have hoped for! They made us feel super comfortable and listened to our ideas and made sure we loved our new tattoos! A big thank you to Hart & Huntington from the Florida girls!!

Lyndsay Marone for Tarik Tatham

I am beyond satisfied with the results!! It is 100% safe to say, you will NEVER leave unsatisfied! The whole team there are professional but extremely cool. Tarik is awesome as well. The environment helps calm the nerves.

Holly Szostek for Tarik Tatham

Best tattoo parlor in Nashville!!!! Great people, amazing artists, clean, professional, all around amazing experience. Tarik was my artist. Super light hand, clean lines, best tattoo I've ever gotten (this makes 14). Worth the price! Awesome experience! Need a tattoo this is hands down the place to come!!!!

Cassandra Riese for Tarik Tatham

You'll only be hurting yourself if you choose to go anywhere else. This is by far the best tattoo parlor I've ever been to. I wouldn't even call it a parlor, let's be real, it's a home. It is to me at least. Every artist loves their work and takes pride in everything they do. Better yet, all the others artists are equally as interested in making your piece what you want and won't stop till you’re satisfied. I give my artist, Tarik, an idea and he blew my away every time.
