Drew does amazing work. I drove from southern Indiana to have him do my tattoo. After the work he did on my first one, I did not want anyone else. I loved watching him create the artwork.

 Chris West for Drew Thomas

Great choose for my first tattoo. Drew was very meticulous about getting everything just right, putting me at ease to make the process less stressful. He took is time getting started since it was on my rib cage. The tattoo it self was way better than a lot I have seen before that were similar. It was so clean it looked like a fake. The tattoo exceeded my expectations. I was a little taken by the cost but now I see really you get what you pay for. The shop was amazing, the decor, etc. I had a few people with me and one had a lot of work done and he said it was the nicest he had ever seen. Great experience!! Thanks Drew....

 Anne Soda for Tarik Tatham

Tarik is an amazing Tattoo artist and he made me feel very comfortable. His hands were light and his work was on point. I definitely will see him again our next visit to Nashville. This tattoo is a five leaf clover with beautiful crazy for my kids and husband. It is very special to me. Placement was perfect.

 Teresa Walaszek for Tarik Tatham

The booking process through the forms and paperwork was so organised and simple. The care package and customer service excellent. The team were really positive and proactive about my unique and personal design and they made sure I had the best end product to suit my needs. They made adjustments and the result was fantastic.

 Dallas Martin for Drew Thomas

This was my first tattoo! I was super nervous but everything went really well. Brandon made the changes to the image I gave him until it was exactly what I wanted. Everyone there was friendly and professional. I felt well cared for and valued as a customer. My husband and I were visiting Nashville for our honeymoon and we were able to get our tattoos as walk-ins. What a souvenir! The tattoo healed without issue and looks exactly like I wanted it to!

 Sue Chambers

I come from WI to get my tattoo because I know the quality is beyond good. I’m so happy with the outcome. I always get exactly what I ask for

 Terri Pawlarczyk for Guillermo Cruz

Wonderful to work with crispy af!

 George for Mel Lockett

Great environment very quick for a walk-in. I was in town on business and got the work done, great decision very good artist's, everyone of them. Had my grandson's name added, no regrets.

 Jacob for Guillermo Cruz

Brandon was great at explaining how the tattoo would look better with a little change and he was 100% correct. The after care instructions and products were great and it healed quickly. I did my research vs what a few others did and I feel it paid off going to a quality shop.

 Russ

Very clean, professional, all and all a great visit.

 Trudy Donais

It was my first tattoo and it couldn’t have turned out better. Really appreciated the staff helping with the entire process and of course the artist for creating the piece.

 David for Alejandro Acosta

Amazing work done by Mat Moreno, highly recommend!! Staff was super helpful and friendly!

 Scott Sangster for Mat Moreno

Hart and Huntington is definitely a spot I will be visiting again! From the initial appointment set ups (I actually visited here twice on my visit to Nashville) to both of my tattoo visits every thing was great! Tarik was a great artist and my tattoos were exactly what I had been wanting. Lots of compliments on how beautiful they are, I will definitely be returning to add to them!

 Mandy Hartl for Tarik Tatham

Alejandro hands downs is a fantastic artist. I provided the design and he gave me three sizes to choose from, and gave his expert opinions on each size on how it would turn out, which helped tremendously to decide on the size. In the end he added a few extra details which made the end result look amazing. My biggest request was that I wanted it extremely fine line. And he did an amazing job with using two different size needles to be able to show every detail. I am so pleased and love how it came out.

 Kayla Burnett for Alejandro Acosta

Mat Moreno is amazing! His line work, the color, the design, his vision…all of it. I didn’t meet him until the appointment and he put so much care and thought into the design. This was a very important piece of my story and he more than nailed it. I’m grateful to have been a canvas for his creativity!

 Tanya Sampson for Mat Moreno

Mat was awesome, my daughter and I were in Nashville and decided to get matching tattoos. It’s a lyric, and I wasn’t sure about the writing. Mat went over different styles and explained what would be a better choice. I highly recommend Mat and H&H when searching for a tattoo artist.

 Kellye Torppa for Mat Moreno

Guillermo did amazing!! I love my tattoo so much. It’s been a couple of weeks now and it has healed so well and much quicker than other tattoos I’ve had! Guillermo was also just great to work with! Very friendly and made me feel comfortable.

 Ciara F for Guillermo Cruz

After seeing Hart & Huntington open in Nashville I knew I'd be able to find an artist for what I was looking for. I currently live in Knoxville and there wasn't any possible way I was staying local for this one. I was immediately drawn to Mel's work from Facebook pictures and Instagram @mkltattoos. I made my appointment after briefly corresponding with her via email, simple. Mel was able to take a tattoo I had on my wrist and turn it into a masterpiece on my entire forearm.

 Chad C for Mel Lockett

Walked in with a small tattoo idea in mind. Done that day by Alejandro. He was amazing, very gentle. Highly recommend him and this place.

 Jess Boyes for Alejandro Acosta

I really enjoyed my experience here. My husband and I were able to walk in and get work that same day. Alejandro did an amazing job w/ the dragon I requested, which was not easy since it covered some script & also worked around other tattoos. He is very kind and professional, and his fine line work is excellent.

 Haliey McInerney for Alejandro Acosta

Brandon was amazing! Fantastic laugh, great banter and the artwork was more than I was expecting!!! This Aussie is happy I stopped in for a tattoo!!! The shop was awesome, and friendly, answered all my questions!! Thank you Brandon for giving us a memorable experience. GodBless

 Emily Guildea

Brandon was awesome. It was my first tattoo in honor of my son, Jonathan, who passed away from cancer. The tattoo came out great. If you want a professional ask for Brandon when you go there. I highly recommend him and will travel to Nashville if I want another tattoo. Thanks again, Brandon.

 Chris Fernau

We were greeted and acknowledged right away by Chloe. She helped me through the process of setting up my walk-in appointment. She made it super easy and accommodating. My artist, Alejandro, drew up two sizes of my idea to choose from. He was kind and professional and my tattoo turned out more beautiful than what I had envisioned. I’ll definitely be back!
