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 .

Drove 2.5 hours up to Mt Vernon to get a piece done by Tony as I heard (and saw) his work was amazing. Had a memorial portrait of my dog done and it could not have turned out better. Captured every detail. Definitely the best piece I have, and I won't go anywhere else again. Great staff, great talent and they put their heart in the work they do.

Gave them 5 stars before but I guess I'll revisit this and add to it. The crew down at Hard Knox are really chill, which was great when I was anxious to go in for my first tattoo there years ago. Every time I've taken an idea for a tattoo to them they always manage to make the sickest additions to what I bring for them to work with, and the quality of their work always leaves me happy. Definitely suggest my friends to go to Hard Knox if they're able to

Justin hooked me up wit a huge ship on my ribs. Would never be tattooed on my ribs for 6-7 hours by anyone else! Line work is great, shading is great, and the color is outta this world! It was well worth the pain. Thank you justin! I would definitely recommend ANY of the artists in HKT. They all bring something unique to the table. Not to mention it's a very clean, well maintained environment, run by great people. Thanks hard Knox!

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
