Great 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.

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.

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.

Sharon Wheaton forI had a memorial tattoo done. Austin was great, and made my tat absolutely beautiful. He took his time and blended colors for a unique and personal experience. It is pricey, but so worth it for me. Thanks Austin! You're the best!

Myia Purifoy forThis was my very first experience with a tattoo. For years , I have been working on the art and placement of the tattoo in my mind. Austin helped bring that thought to artistic reality! He nailed it. Absolutely incredible and immaculately meticulous. He listened to all of my requests and brought it to life through his art. He did a phenomenal job making me feel comfortable and helping me to prepare for tattoo itself. I could not be more happy.

Anne Kesner forFirst off let me say that this was my first tattoo experience and it could not have gone any better! I had been on the fence for years about getting a tattoo because I was terrified! I wanted a floral piece in watercolor on my ankle and the top of my foot. Hart & Huntington made the whole process easy from beginning to end! I scheduled my appointment with Austin and he was amazing! He was so kind throughout the whole process!

Natalie Reading forMy 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 forI 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 forMy 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 forIf I could give it 6 stars I would. Cody is exactly what I was looking for when getting something on my body permanently. I live no where near the Nashville area and will travel down for more work from him.
Cody Maestas
Eric Gast forLove my tattoo. Cody did an awesome job and is cool to chat with. Will be going back to him again for my next tattoo. Little bit pricey but it is def location. I am willing to pay more to get the work done right.

Netty forI had this vague idea of wanting a Tom Petty influenced wildflower tattoo and started researching artists. I came across Mel Lockett’s portfolio and started following her on Instagram—I knew immediately that she was the perfect artist for my tattoo. Her line work, florals, and creative spin are incredible and I knew I could trust her to fully develop my vague idea into something spectacular.

Brittany Carlberg forMel and the team at Hart & Huntington Tattoo were absolutely amazing! The building is clean and welcoming, the staff was friendly and got me situated while Mel drew up my tattoo. Mel did great work and listened to exactly what I wanted. Her room was comfortable and I really appreciated the TV to help pass the time!

Emily Hyden forAmazing amazing people. Came in town on vacation and wanted a tattoo. The nice lady at the desk was super helpful and explained everything to me and helped me with my pricing and tattoo. The tattoo artist himself was amazing. He made the sketch, which was perfect, showed me how it would look before hand, and the tattoo came out amazing. It was my first tattoo and I’m glade it was here. They were absolutely amazing and I would recommend them to everyone!

Chelsie Rankhorn forI was in Nashville for vacation and decided to get a tattoo to remember the trip. Store front was very clean, was greeted right away. Once I explained what I wanted, I was assigned an artist that specializes in the style I wanted. I came back for my appointment, tattoo was sized and ready to go. Austin took his time and did an amazing job. I am so excited for my tattoo to heal so I can show it off. Will be back the next time I visit Nashville.

Patricia Millerbernd forMy 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.

Mariana Sandoval forIn Nashville for a friend's 50th birthday and four of us decided to get tattoos. This was my first and I was definitely nervous. Yasir was so generous with his time, helping me get right with my decision. On our way to the appointment, we had an unforeseen emergency. H&H were so accommodating and were able to fit us in before we flew home the next morning. Cody did such an amazing job, not only dealing with me, but with the art itself.

Mackenzie Monaco forMel was my artist: Hands down the best tattoo experience I’ve had yet. (I have 6, now 7 tattoos) She is amazing! Her style, her vibe and the conversation was amazing. Got to watch a Harry Potter marathon and get a sick half sleeve, it was great! She took all my ideas and turned it into something beautiful. I appreciate her dedication and enthusiasm for my concept! She made sure it was exactly what I wanted. She is a true artist and professional!
