It's clean and professional in here. The artists are friendly and talented. I couldn't be more happy with my tattoo. They also have a dedicated cosmologist for microblading and the like. Somebody just got done with that while we were there and it was stunning. It's busy and walkins take priority over on the phone commitments so just go in and hang out and talk about your body modification ideals and they will take care of you. Read Less

This place is incredible. i have now gotten the privelage of having Randy design 2 half sleeves and a cover up for me. His skills are so unique he's made my skin a beautiful canvas for artwork. The level of professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched . I decided to get a color portrait of my best friend that's passed away. It took my breath when I saw her exact image on my skin , what a gift, and to express how much it means is impossible. I've referred several friends and even my 19 yr old son for his first one! They all would say the same thing. Hard Life Tattoos is not your ordinary tattoo shop, each design is created just for you, and the prices are affordable . A place with an artist willing to share his talent with you. I feel so lucky to say Randy is my tattoo artist. I won't go anywhere else Read Less

Randy is hands down the best artist in town, I'd been looking for months for someone to do some cover up work and not make it look like shit, half I encountered didn't want to touch it, the others thought it would be to difficult to phase out the whole thing. Randy took on the challenge like a champ, not just one cover up either, and I have to say, I'm blown away with the sickest realism tattooing you ever seen. A true artist! Thanks again bub! Read Less
