To start off with, the shop itself was clean and a great place for this shop. Heather greeted me right away, as she worked the front, and made the checkin process smooth. Alejandro was awesome to work with. A true fine-lines artist and planning on more work with him in the future! Highly recommend Alejandro and this shop! My expectations were exceeded and the entire team was great. If you want a customized design by real Artist, this is the place.

Chip Carroll forMy best friend and I are long distance and decided to meet in Nashville for a short girls weekend and wanted to get our long awaited matching tattoos. I did extensive research on shops and artists in the area and was wildly impressed by what I found with Hart & Huntington. The communication was excellent prior to our arriving in Nashville, we were able to consult with our artist before arriving to already have our design set and ready to go upon our appointment.

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!!

Jeanine Cagigas forFirst 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.

Vikki Schaffer forSo me and my fiancé explored broadway and just so happened to get a tattoo at a very very nice tattoo shop called hart and Huntington. We got our tattoos done by Austin and at first you will hear prices that might make you think twice but let me say this DO IT, DON'T THINK TWICE. YOU PAY FOR QUALITY and Austin has serious talent, very cool guy. THANKS AUSTIN WE LOVE THEM!

Michael Esposito forI’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 forI’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 forCody 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.
Cody Maestas
Rhiley van Maanen forMy 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 🩷

Heather Lynn Photography forMy 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!!

Lindsay Landenberger forWish 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.
Someone In Arizona for Cody Maestas
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.

John Colleran forI had an incredible experience at H&H. Everyone was welcoming and helpful, and Mel brought my long time dream into the most gorgeous reality. I am still in awe of her skill- from her interpretation of my inspo pics and general style I was looking for, to her artistic ability in design and placement, to her fine line work- I just can’t get over how amazing my piece is. And it’s not even finished! Looking forward to my final session in a few months.
Mel Lockett
Jacqui Long forThis was my first tattoo. I was nervous because with very simple tattoos you notice every little detail or imperfection. But Mel took all my nerves away! She drew a beautiful and delicate design, and was patient while I decided on the placement (it took 3 tries and she was so kind and didn’t make me feel pressured or dumb for being indecisive) She made sure to go over the aftercare instructions thoroughly to make sure my tattoo healed properly.

Michaela Jones forScheduled 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!
Drew Thomas
Cassandra Bush forWas visiting Nashville and decided to get a Tattoo. When I arrived the place was clean and had a cool vibe. The Lady that helped me was awesome. Got in right away. Could not be happier with my Tattoo. Came out Awesome. I would recommend Alejandro Acosta if you're needing some ink. Thanks for being a rad place and making my trip better.

John Colbert forDropped in with three of us wanting tattoos during CMA Fest. Nothing crazy detailed and they were about 1 1/2” x about 3” tattoos. Blown away that there were people waiting and we still only had to wait about half an hour before the first of our party was called back. Alejandro did a great job with all three of our tattoos. He was fast and very nice.
Alejandro Acosta
Eileen Miller forI couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Hart & Huntington. I get quite nervous when preparing for a tattoo but immediately when I walked through the door I was met with ease when speaking to Ryan. He was calm, very informative, and advised my friends and I on our tattoo choices. From sizing to ink he knew what would be best for all of us and truly made us feel right at home. When it came to the actual tattoos, Alejandro did an amazing job!

Kat Solan forWe (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 forGreat experience for first timer! Highly recommend if you’re in the Nashville area and are looking to get a tattoo. They were great from start to finish. We designed my tattoo, they drew it out graphically and printed it out to make sure I would like it and gave me exactly what I wanted. The establishment is very clean and I felt safe with all the sterile materials used. They sent me home with a kit to make sure I could take care of my tattoo.

My wife got her 1st tattoo there while we were on vacation in Nashville. She was a nervous mess. But the staff was understanding and patient. Yasir really went above and beyond to answer all of her questions and calm her nerves with humor. Despite the fact that her tattoo was tiny the artist listened to her and gave her feedback. All in all it is the perfect place to go if you’re nervous about getting a tattoo.
Jean Barreto
My best friend and I popped in while on vacation to get a simple, matching tattoo. We weren't sure if they would have an opening or what the overall vibe of the place would be, it turns out that it was super chill and the staff was amazing! The person at the front desk helped us through the design phase and setting up the paperwork. The artist was quick, friendly, and professional. Overall, it was a great experience.
Andrea F
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.
