Extremely clean, which is quite important to me. Covid compliant also. Large selection of jewelry for piercings. Nicest staff, very professional yet laid back vibe. I had a nostril piercing preformed. It was not painful to me. It has been a week now, and no trouble what so ever. I would highly recommend Diehard Piercing and Tattoo to anyone interested in adorning their bodies. Im very happy with my piercing.

Ive gotten multiple piercings from this shop and they were all done great and healed amazing! I personally buy the spray they have in the shop because its convenient but the nozzle is also way better than the cleaners at the store. I have also bought jewelry from there and its amazing quality. I have sensitive skin as well. If I ever have any questions whoever answers the phone is always polite and finds me what Im looking for. 10/10 would recommend

Evie is simply a Goddess! If you aren’t getting tattooed by her you need to start. She listens to what you want and tailors your design specifically just to you. I’ve had three tattoos done by her now and each one has healed up beautifully!

Plain amazing. He is informative, respectful and ensures you are comfortable. Definitely makes you want to come back!

Brought my daughter in today for a nose piercing. As always Jeremy did a great job. The person at the counter is new to me but was welcoming, friendly, and had the best playlist going. My daughter is very happy with the placement and has been all smiles since we left.

They environment was welcoming, Jeremy was amazing piercer. I like how particular he was and the piercings look great and I will definitely be going back for more.

I have been going to Diehard since before Jeremy owned it, and he does a phenomenal job. He’s the best since Jeanie at Downtown tattoo. I’ve never had any trouble with infection or or professionalism. I highly recommend this place.

Ive been tattooed by Dylan, Evie, and Rob and all 3 have been super professional and worked really well with me. I plan on getting pierced by Jeremy soon and I dont expect anything but good attitude and an overall nice experience. Definitely my favorite and my go-to shop. I cant recommend this shop enough.

Jeremy is a cool dude. Ive liked all the staff Ive encountered during my many different visits

Jeremy did a great job. He pierced me (3rd lobe both sides), my 13 y/o (1st lobe both sides), and my 11 y/o (1st lobe both sides). He was quick, clean, and precise. He didnt make them feel silly for being nervous. The piercings look beautiful!Great quality all around. We felt super safe as far as their COVID precautions go too, no question.(Be warned, he is GREAT with kids, but his language isnt always kid-friendly.)

Diehard has saved my skin more than once when Ive had piercing issues. Theyre calm, reassuring, accommodating, and generally cool as all hell. Theres no other place in the valley I would recommend for piercings.

I got my second ear piercing here. The man that did my piercing was very nice and professional. They use a needle not the gun so I recommend coming here! 10/10

My daughter just got her industrial done by Jeremy. He is always profession, runs the cleanest, most sterile shop Ive ever seen. If I ever get brave enough to get another piercing I wont go anywhere else.

Friendly and experienced service. Knowledgeable, clean, and timely. If running late they make up for it. Ill be back for more services soon!

I got my ear lobes pierced. Place was clean and efficient. Super friendly.

Dylan did my thigh tattoo and it turned out beautifully! He was great to work with, made sure I was comfortable, and gave me as many breaks as I need. The place is clean and all the staff were friendly. Great place to spend a few hours and get tattooed.

Jeremy did amazing with piercing my teens ears.. He did great at explaining everything. Will definitely be recommending this shop to any and all friends

Jeremy couldnt have been more professional and amazing. He completely calmed my nerves, made sure everything was perfect, and was incredibly professional. The shop was clean, the music wasnt too loud, and the atmosphere was great. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending DieHard to people. Thank you, Jeremy!!

Love the atmosphere! staff was super chill too ❤️

Great place, amazing humans, out of this world art! Love you guys.

GO GET YOUR PIERCING DONE HERE! You will not regret it at all. Totally professional, awesome people here, and you walk out with all questions/ information answered. I appreciate Jermey so much! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

First time. Had eyebrows done. Wonderful experience, great people n Tina takes pride in her work. Thank you so very much. I will be back.

Always love coming here for my piercings. Jeremy is always so thorough with explaining aftercare, how bad itll hurt and just makes the whole experience so much better. Definitely best piercer around hands down

Showed up for an appointment I made over a month on advance, and the artist Rob I had been directly communicating with completely forgot my appointment. Had to stand in some covid safety square for 30 minutes while he got himself ready. He also did not pay attention to what I asked for, and had something totally different prepared, likely pulled it off Google after I showed up. Tattoo came out mediocre at best. Dudes portfolio is very flattering considering the average work this dude did. Will not be coming back.

I got 2 nose piercings there. The piercer is great and funny, but still professional. He give great advice for aftercare.

Great staff, friendly service. Knowledgeable about their craft. I have Jeremy do all my piercings.

Went in to get my septum re-pierced and had an appointment with Jeremy. He was extremely professional and kind. One of the best experiences Ive had with a tattoo/piercing shop.

Rob was great. My very 1st tattoo, and it is amazing

Best place in Albany! They are on top of Covid-19 safety, total professionals and super awesome down to earth good people. My daughter wanted her nose peirced so we came here based off of friend recommendations, super fabulous experience here. 12/10 will come here again.

Great group of people. They also have great artists. They have an awesome spider web chair in the lobby!!! They know who makes them too and he sells them.

Excellent tattoo shop! Friendly staff. Clean shop. Talented artists.

Jeremy did my piercings. He was great about talking me through the process and making sure I was fine. Highly recommend

100% reccomend for all peircings and tattoos this is the only place I will ever go

Just went in there to have my nose piercing looked at that I had gotten done at High Priestess in August. I was hoping to get a ring today, but after Jeremy looked at it he said it was pierced at a weird angle/placement and the only ring that would fit would be huge. I looked ridiculous! I’m so mad that I didn’t go to Jeremy in the first place! Super knowledgeable and friendly unlike High Priestess! I ended up taking it out and I’ll have Jeremy re-pierce it once it’s healed so I can finally get the ring I’ve been wanting. Thank you Jeremy and Diehard!!

I can’t recommend Diehard enough, I don’t usually even write reviews but we had such a great experience with them. We are in Salem and I was even willing to drive up to Portland for my daughter to pick a new pair of earrings since her ears have been pretty sensitive. All the shops I called either wouldn’t allow her in or had a charge for looking at her ears or even to just look at the jewelry.When I called Diehard the lady who answered was SO nice, she gave me really great advice and told me to bring my daughter in to pick her earrings. I didn’t expect it at all but when we got there the piercer actually came out and took a look at my daughters ears to make sure they looked okay and helped us pick earrings which was so very appreciated.This is a great place and we will absolutely make the trip from Salem for any future needs this is hands down the best service I have ever gotten from a piercing studio and I’ve called probably 6/7 over the last few days.

Absolutely amazing! I had most of my jewelry removed for the last 3-4 years and he was able to put it all back! Only required one to be re done! Will be returning!

Die hard has did an amazing job as always! They have great covid precautions in place so dont let whats happening in the world stop you from getting the piercing youve always wanted!

Jeremy is amazing. Very personable & a great atmosphere when piercing!

I came for a septum piercing redo. Jeremy Mclain was polite, respectful, and genuinely knows his stuff. I got a helpful pamphlet, some cool stickers, and the best piercing experience a gal could ask for.

Clean, friendly and knowledgeable. Top notch shop right here in our small town.

Albanys Best INK & Piercings.Great place. Great Owner, Great artists, ink, body piercings. Clean, comfy, good ambiance, great downtown location. Some of the best ink artists in the valley. Find them on Facebook. Reliable appointments.Highly Recommend! Over 18.

Jeremy was very professional made me feel very comfortable and was quick and over all wonderful

Awesome ppl

Great experience. Walked in and the tattoo artist was able to fit me right in before heading out for a vacation. Equality work also, will return in the future.

Great staff and super friendly. And great pricing.

I wouldnt go anywhere else for my piercings...ever!! Jeremy is amazing!! I go through Evie for my ink. She is incredible!! She did a cover up for me and it looks amazing!!Cant wait to get more done from her. All the artists are amazing. I was wanting a girl to put down some ink for me as Id never had one do any of my tattoos! You will not be disappointed no matter who you choose there!!

Always had excellent service when I go here, the staff are very well knowledge in what they are doing and it is always clean, they also always sanitize everything

The staff were great to work with! The place was very sanitary and had a great atmosphere. The guy who did my nose piercing was very calming and relaxed, and the whole piercing procedure went without a hitch! Their treatment supplies are great, too. Definitely would recommend going here if youre considering getting any sort of piercing!

Very nice staff, very clean and sanitary, great prices on all services

Awesome place

My brother and I got nose piercings. The piercer was the owner. He was very kind and funny. He was sterile and did a good job explaining the process. I would definitely go there if I get another piercing or a tattoo. 100% recommended. They are also affordable and not stuck up about prices.

Excellent service. Great job spacing with Covid restrictions. Will be back again

Wow! Got 2 industrials and my nose pierced. Was so fast! Now I have the piercings Ive always wanted.Thank you DieHard!

Wonderful place! Friendly people who do fantastic work! Theyre my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to get tattoos or piercings. Fair prices all around. Jeremy is who does the piercings. Hes funny, easy-going, and very knowledgeable. Makes the process a breeze, every time. And Evie is who I usually go to. Shes an incredible artist and easy to talk to. Shes the one who did my cupcake (2-3 years ago?) and it still looks great. People ask me about it a lot and Im always quick to tell them who did it for me. Love the work, love the prices. A great shop!

Absolutely always a great experience! Thanks again Rob Robinson!

Jeremy is so great! He’s a pleasure to be around and he got us in and out quickly. I would give this place a solid five stars, but the lady at the front counter was actually pretty rude. My name is Alyssa and I was waiting and I heard my name get called. So, I got up and went to the counter. Jeremy started explaining to me what we were going to do, and I was like “No, I actually wanted this...” and she pulled out the clipboard and goes “I called ME-Lissa. You answered to the wrong name” and waved me off. Then when I got up for my turn she goes “NOW it’s your turn.” I totally could’ve done without the snarky remarks for an honest mistake on my part.

Always a great experience here. Jeremy is super friendly and knows what hes doing. He always takes the time to answer questions and make sure you understand aftercare.

I gave two stars due to the unusual experience I had. I called to get an appointment for piercing, the girl on the phone asked for a $90 deposit to hold the appointment!!! She was anxious for my card number. The experience left me feeling uneasy.

Jeremy did my nipple piercing about 5 years ago and I came back just to see him for my tongue piercing cause I love his work! Hes great, fun, very calming and knowledgeable. I appreciate him and def recommend him for piercings!

Awesome place. Friendly staff and great artists

Amazing staff! My daughter just had her nose pierced by Jeremy and he was great. He was very professional and made my daughter feel comfortable.

Very professional. Walked me through each step. Even though it was just my ear lobes, Jeremy treated my experience with the upmost care.

My daughter and I went in today for piercings. Jeremy knows what hes doing. Well definitely come back

This is a very clean, professional, and welcoming shop. I sat for a solid black forearm tattoo with Rob and it was a great experience. The artwork and technique was impeccable. Its been two weeks since and it looks awesome. It healed better than my last four smaller and simpler tattoos from different shops. I am definitely going back for the large back piece Ive wanted to get for awhile.

I ended-up having to forfeit my $100 deposit because I refused to get a tattoo from someone who continued to disagree and argue with me about what I actually wanted tattooed on my arm. When I told Evie I did not like what she had drawn up - she wanted to spend her time disagreeing with me about semantics of the design and placement on MY arm. This is not the friendliest place I have ever been to (considering I have been to several other places to get work done while living in other states). Please be careful before paying a non-refundable deposit on something without knowing exactly what you are going to get. There are plenty of other friendlier and talented artists to check out in the area.

Highly recommend for piercings. He takes his time and makes sure you are genuinely happy with the results. Plus awesome music and super friendly and helpful staff. I only go here for my piercings now ❤

Went with a friend to get her nose pierced. The reception area was set up nicely. They have a decent portfolio set up for each artist there. The piercing process was positive for my friend and the piercer was friendly and welcoming. Piercing prices were decent and many options to choose from.I would recommend people check out their shop. In fact, if I choose to get any more piercings I will be going there.

Went in to replace some earrings. Had a custom set of 4 made. I love them and they look awesome!

Would give 5 stars because Jeremy is so awesome but the woman at the front counter almost made me leave the moment she began talking. She was so incredibly rude. She was so interested in telling stories with other customers that she seemed to get angry when we needed her assistance.

Jeremy is always professional and great at advice. Id recommend him anytime to anyone for a reputable piercer. Besides, hes funny. 😊

I’ve been a DieHard fan for about a year now and refuse to go anywhere else.The shop is clean and comfortable. The artists are courteous and professional. It can get busy there because their reputation precedes them. They do try to accommodate walk-ins, but if you fail to make an appointment you may have a bit of a wait. Suggestion? Pop over to Loafers for a spell and have yourself a sandwich.Evie is my go to ink therapist, I highly recommend her if you’re looking for beautiful bold floral, skulls, or mandala type pieces.

Diehard is the place were I got my 1st piercing. They were incredibly nice and understanding and the piercer there is super outgoing and easy to get along with. Thank you for doing my eyebrow! Ill be back for more!

Came in with a nipple that had been pierced 2 times by High Priestess and was rejected from poor placement. I couldnt believe the difference in professionalism and experience they had. Didnt even feel the piercing or the barbell inserting. I will never ever go to another shop again. Im a Die-hard fan for life. 🤘🏻

I came in today to get hip piercings, the peircer (I forgot his name, cause i suck like that) was very pleasant to be around, knowledgeable, and good at his job. It took barely any time at all, and he made sure to tell me what to be careful of. The pricing is also very reasonable in my opinion especially for the quality.

Jeremy is so friendly and does a great job piercing and explanning whats going on. Great atmosphere up front.

I love this shop. Theyre so friendly. Its a great atmosphere . Theyre work is very precise & careful. Always recommend Diehard.

Looked like a nice place and Ive heard a lot of good things about it. But, when I went in to schedule an appointment, there was nothing available with the artist there for months out. The other two artists there, didnt have their appointment books with them (so why are you there unprepared?).

Evie Alexandra is by far, one of my favorite artists. Her work is stunning and she is so easy to get along with!! I will always come back.

Super great shop with cool artists who are great at their jobs! Always clean and professional. Love Diehard and I’ll never go anywhere else!

Every piercing I have had has been a horrible expierence even from places with really good reviews. BUT!! I gave this place a try and got my septum done and it was the most pleasant experience ever. The piercer (I believe he is also the owner) was so chill and laid back. I was so nervous but he handled the whole situation so calmly which made me feel so much more comfortable. It hurt (every piercing will) but it was the least painful out of all of my piercings including my earlobes and it looks amazing!

My daughter says Jeremy is a cool guy !! Best piercer around

This place is top notch!! Anyone that knows me knows I joke ALOT but I’ll take a moment of seriousness to say that Rob Robinson is DAMN good at what he does!! I was in last week getting a piece that took longer than we both anticipated and Rob handled it with complete professionalism in the sense that I didn’t feel like an inconvenience whatsoever even though I was keeping him 2 hrs past closing on Valentine’s Day✊🏽 It’s nice to have confidence in who is doing my work when it comes to tattoos and Robs gives me just that! 10/10 would recommend!!

The staff was friendly and the shop was very clean. The tattoo artists here know their stuff and though it might take some time to get a booking, its well worth the wait!

My daughter and I drove from Portland and waited about 2 and a half hours, it was so worth the drive and wait!

Very good experience with Jeremy here! Very happy with my piercings!

Love Jeremy!!!! Diffaintly makes experiences simple and fun for first timers... My daughter was scared a few years ago on her first time, however shes constantly getting new things and constantly talking about whats next!!! 😆😆😆😆

The shop was super clean and well run, and Rob Robinson did an incredible job with my tattoo! He was so great about the design, and his professional advice on my design made it look so much nicer. I would definitely recommend coming to him for your tattoos!

Jeremy did my upper ear. I was really nervous cause Id never gotten my cartilage pierced before, but he was really professional and made it a fun experience. I would recommend him to anyone.

My daughter got her upper ears pierced and it was quick and easy! Very clean place and very friendly.

Jeremy is awesome. He pierced mine and my boyfriends tongues, he was extremely nice and the whole process was super quick. We will be back and anyone looking for a piercing should definitely go see him.

My mom got her lip pierced shes super happy and the owner was very nice and informative. Thank you we will be return customers

My first tattoo. Robert was great made it a great experience for me. I will be back.

Jeremy made the experience for my daughter fantastic. Really great job, always recommend him.

Great shop with friendly staff. No rockstar attitudes there. Expanded waiting area is nice. Evie does phenomenal tattoos and Jeremy lives to stab folks!

Love love love Diehard will continue to go Jeremy is awesome. He lets you know everything he is doing and is very polite. Will continue to go

My girls love the place for piercings. The staff has always been great with them.

Ive gone a few different places to get pierced but none have felt as clean and professional but comfortable at the same time! Ill never go anywhere else again!

I have never been tattooed by any of their current artists. That being said, the shop is always very clean and Jeremy (shop manager and piercer) is THE MAN! This man is the person you should be taking your young daughters to get their ears pierced as well as the best man around for the more complicated and creative projects (just checkout the awards hes won)! He has great bedside manner is excellent and he really does know his stuff.I have had him help me with multiple stretches with my lobes as well as getting my nostril ring done multiple times. I even had to go back for a follow up on my nose once after a jewelry malfunction and he was happy to take care of me free of charge, I of course tipped anyways!

I got my first tattoo today from Chris. The experience was amazing on all fronts. All of the staff was very friendly, and this has to be the nicest and cleanest tattoo and piercing studio that I have ever been in. Chris did a fantastic job and made the entire process fun and gave me an awesome and detailed tattoo. His lines are sharp and the shading has great depth. My fiancé and I plan to go back to Chris and DieHard for all of our tattoo needs from now on.

I went in for 2 cartlidge piercings yesterday. Yes, it was very busy so there was about a 3 hour wait. I was offered a call once my turn was up, i went ran my errands and came back just in time. Very happy with my piercings and clean shop :)
