Chipper Harbin
Tattooing since 2007, Chipper is very keen on personal service, making sure every unique story is conveyed. Since landing in Nashville back in 2013, he now has work recognized worldwide. Chipper is continuously looking for ways to stay progressive and challenged, while expressing the deep intent behind his clients’ art. Telling the story is equally as important as the art itself.
Before you even hit his chair you are greeted with a warm demeanor and a personality as colorful as his work. Inspired by the opportunity to be an artistic voice, Chipper offers graphic imagery with abstract accents, enjoying creative freedom in developing imagery that tells the client’s story in a subtle way.
Russ Hickman
Originally from Texas, Russ Hickman is a tattoo artist whose work is rooted as much in human connection as it is in creativity. With 14 years of experience across multiple styles, his love for tattooing goes beyond ink—it’s about sketching, learning, serving others, and truly understanding people. Russ takes the time to listen to each client’s story, translating their vision into something personal and lasting. He’s always open to sitting down and discussing how to best help clients tell their stories through meaningful tattoos.
Beyond the tattoo shop, Russ is a devoted father who values family, community, and authenticity. Inspired by nature and alternative lifestyles like skateboarding, surfing, and music, he believes identity extends far beyond profession—and that the most meaningful stories live at the intersection of personal life and creative passion.
