Hands down the best place to get Ink. Jose Garcia is one of the most humble and nicest people I have ever met in my life. This place has talented artists that are ready for walk ins as well as artists that you can book an appointment with if you are looking for a bigger piece like a sleeve or something on a larger scale. I have been to other places and no where else is as down to earth and as laid back and chill as Hard Ink, but still get the job done with precision and professionalism. I’ll be honest, the other places I have been to were well known and had decent artists, but I have had all of their work covered up by Jose Garcia and he amazed me on every tattoo so far and we have plenty of more time and skin to do some more works of art!! Thanks for being humble and thanks for being reasonable when it comes down to cash. You and your crew are truly good people.

Took my son here for his first tattoo. The tattoo was super special to my son because it was in memory of his late older brother. His artists name is James, really nice guy, and did a really great job my son was elated. Ill be going back to get some more ink done on myself, and thanks James you made my sons birthday pretty special.

The man who does the piercings, Rick, is EXTREMELY unprofessional!! I booked my appointment and paid (well in advance). An hour before my 1 o’clock appointment, he asked me to come at 2 because he was running late. Okay fine. Minor inconvenience. Then I see him post on IG a picture of him out to breakfast. Kind of rude to schedule people and then make other plans, but again, okay. So I show up ON-TIME at the time he REQUESTED I show up, and I text him. No response. I call him, no answer. 15 minutes later he texts me saying he will be another 30 minutes after ALREADY delaying my appointment for an hour. I kindly requested my money back. He obliged and said that he would do my piercing free of charge for the inconvenience, and to just text him to schedule for the upcoming week. Needless to say, he has been giving me the run around and ignoring my texts. (He has read receipts on) will never give this place my business. Absolutely ridiculous.

Had a tattoo done by Brenda. She was very professional and passionate about her work. Very easy to communicate with to set up an appointment. She welcomed me with a smile. Very pleased with her work. I will go back to her for more work, but she’s about to blow up so I know she will be booked for months! Highly recommend!!!

Brenda did two of my tattoos and they are both outstanding, shes an amazing artist that is very passionate about her work and is really easy to communicate with to make an appointment. It is a very professional place with great prices. The artists are very polite and talented. Hard ink is the best place to get a tattoo!!!!

Got my forearm tatted very professional and clean salon. James was my tattoo artist, he was very patient and detailed with my piece and took his time to do a great job and walked me through the process since it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten a tattoo. Would recommend this place to anyone, they have great prices, a very nice environment, and you won’t be disappointed with your tattoo.

I went in for a consultation for a large coverup. I was recommended the artist Pucho. He stated that he would be able to cover up my tattoo with an elephant. He seemed legit, so I paid a $100 deposit. While I was waiting for another artist to finish up with my daughters tattoo, I overheard the shop owner state thats not gonna come out how you think and that he recommended I get a flower cover up instead. I went back to the counter so that if there were any discrepancies I could be informed as well (since its my body and such a large piece). Pucho assured me that it was no problem and that he would sketch something and text it to me for my approval. I never received a text. I had to find him on Instagram. I requested the sketch. After a week or so with no response, and my tattoo appointment being only 2 days away, I disputed the transaction with my bank. To the rest who are contemplating a tattoo from here, good luck. But I dont gamble with my skin.

They do excellent work, the only thing that is frusterating is when you sit there for 20 to 30 mins waiting for someone to come help you and they are sitting around talking, very frusterating.

Review №51

Ive gotten my nipples pierced twice from there and going for a third time. (Had to take them out for procedures I had to get done, not because of infection or anything like that). Each time I went, it was a spur of the moment piercing. The first time they were about to close and stayed so I can come and the second time they were just as professional and kind. I am big on being scared of infections and the shop appears clean inside and out.
