I’ve never personally gotten a tattoo from here , but when I was asking for a possible price range I got some very rude responses from someone I spoke to over the phone . I will never get a tattoo from here & I will never recommend anyone too them . Great way to push away customers ! Also , I was basically told if I were to go to anywhere else in the surrounding areas that I would receive a tattoo I’d be embarrassed of for the rest of my life or I’d have to spend tons of money to get it fixed .

Tony and his team at Hard Knox Tattoo are the epitome of professionalism. I have been tattooed here by Tony and Justin, both of who I would recommend getting work done by. My first piece was drawn by Justin, but inked by Tony, the result was something beautifully unique with a very personal touch that I know could not have been done anywhere else. The second, Justin nailed it big time with my CBJ tat...I get compliments on it almost daily. Both pieces are very special to me,... not just because of their meaning, but because they were done by true artists who care about giving their customers what they want, at a fair price. They have made a customer of me for life, but more than that, I also consider these guys to be great friends. Stop in and check them out, you won't be sorry! See More Read Less
