Got some work done last week and I have nothing but good things to say about H&H. I was in town for my job (travel) and had a limited window to work with. I made an appointment late Sunday and was inked up by noon-thirty on Tuesday. Quick and professional service, while still maintaining a clean and informative environment. As for the staff, each person I met with was knowledgeable and courteous.

Austin did an amazing job on my tattoo today, will definitely be back when I’m in the area!

 Clay Olson for Austin Modglin

Great Staff. Clean environment. Amazing work done by Austin M. My friend had work done by Cody M. and was also satisfied with the job. If you want something original and not just out of a book, come here.

 Phillip Henderson for Austin Modglin, Cody Maestas

Amazing staff. Top notch artist that care about every detail. That being said, don't rush! My personal experience with Austin is he cares and will take his time to make your idea a true one of a kind piece.

 Christian Ortiz for Austin Modglin

My best friend and I went in yesterday for walk-in appointments. Austin was fantastic and worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Garrett was so lovely, too. We had a blast chatting with them while we got our tattoos. Clean, inviting, and trendy shop. It was a highlight of our trip to Nashville for my birthday!

 Jaime Clark for Austin Modglin

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

Getting my first tattoo here was the best thing i could have ever done! Cody was the nicest ever and did a phenomenal job on my piece and my moms! Highly HIGHLY recommend him and this shop!

 Sam Waggoner for Cody Maestas

Such a good experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The two front desk ladies went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Definitely the least painful of all of my tattoos and they gave us some aftercare products too 👏🏼 Thank you so much!!! 

 Faith Richards for Cody Maestas

Amazing experience. Completely professional and friendly. Called one day ahead of time, was able to complete consultation and have an appointment the next day at 12:30pm. Cody was my artist and he was wonderful, literally felt nothing. Great conversation and overall wonderful experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo. 

 Lisa Deitz for Cody Maestas

Cody was outstanding! Made appts for my daughter and I, he got in touch with us quickly as to what we were wanting, paid our deposits, and voila we were set! Went in today and got our work done! Couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out! He got them both spot on and his work is perfection! He's a genuine guy with an amazing gift! So happy we found him!! Thank you Cody!! 

 Gretchen Waggoner for Cody Maestas

I just got my tattoo from Mel today, and I am so very pleased with my piece and the experience! She put together a perfect design for me based off what I said I wanted. I was overly nervous for my first big tattoo but she helped me stay calm throughout the whole process. Her artwork is truly one of a kind. The whole staff was very friendly and great with communication. A very clean and nice facility as well! I will 100% always recommend Mel to anyone who wants a rad tattoo!

 Amanda Delfini for Mel Lockett

I absolutely loved the tattoo shop! It was super clean and very open layout. I really liked how close the parking garage was to the shop. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Mel Lockett is the artist that did my tattoo and she did an amazing job! She was very accommodating and answered all of my questions. Her work is stunning! I have received so many compliments on the tattoo she did for me.

 Hailee B for Mel Lockett

I just had a piece done by Mel, and the experience was fantastic. She took my idea and created a piece that I love, and she made sure to triple check that I was happy with the artwork before starting to tattoo. It was a pleasure working with her, and it was definitely worth the trip to Nashville to get a tattoo. I was also very impressed by the rest of the staff leading up to and on the day of my appointment.

 Akzl Pultorak for Mel Lockett

I had a fantastic experience at Hart and Huntington in TN—Mel was my artist and she was incredible. Even before my appointment she worked with me to ensure she knew exactly what I wanted. Everything was on time, super clean and Mel was a dream to work with. She did a watercolor wave tattoo on my upper arm - my largest tattoo to date - it truly exceeds all expectations. It is a beautiful piece. I would travel back to Nashville for any future tattoos to see Mel.

 Janna Millette for Mel Lockett

Absolutely incredible experience. I got my first ever tattoo here yesterday, with Mel Lockett. First, every person who greeted me was kind, helpful, and encouraging. Everyone just seemed happy to be there. The place is spotless and has incredible artwork all over the place. Then, Mel started my tattoo and was flawless.

 Megan Moreaux for Mel Lockett

I worked with Mel to create a special tattoo for my son. She did a beautiful watercolor piece on me that I cherish. My son was able to write his name and watch her tattoo it on me from behind the counter which was super special. After I had mine done, my husband also went to Mel for his next tattoo! My best friend sees her in two weeks as well for a Harry Potter tattoo!

 Haley CB for Mel Lockett

Cannot say enough great things about Hart and Huntington! Fabulous service, awesome staff and extremely high quality work. I absolutely love my new pieces and will cherish them always! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for the wonderful experience we had here in Nashville 💖💖💖

 Michelle Parsons

I registered online and asked for the first available artist because I really wanted a tattoo from Hart & Huntington and happened to be in Nashville. The artist knew my vision, asked good questions and did a fantastic job. I have 3 other tattoos and this was, by far the least painful. 

 Tracey Woolsey

Staff was wondrous from the time we came in to the time we left. You get what you pay for and it’s on my body forever so to me it’s worth it! I learned more about tattoos, and how they age, from the intelligent staff. During the session the tattoo artists were open to talk and I felt comfortable and that I could trust and recommend them. Also got a cool FREE beanie repping the Inkaddict! Thanks y’all!
