HARD LIFE INK

Five-Star Experience at HAR’D LIFE INK!I recently visited this shop on a spur of the moment decision on a Saturday night, and I couldnt be more pleased with my experience! They were incredibly flexible and managed to take us both in without any hassle.The artists did an excellent job at sizing and aligning our tattoos to match our vision perfectly. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with joy and humor, which made the entire experience feel special and enjoyable.As someone who is cautious about hygiene, I was impressed with their disinfecting practices and the cleanliness of the needles. And let’s talk about the line work! Wow! It was impeccable, and I am 100% satisfied with how everything turned out.Overall, I will definitely be returning for my next tattoo! Highly recommend this place!

Soey took his time to explain how a dermal process is done and how to care for it in full details. He let me ease up before beginning the process. Awesome placement, Ive been getting lots of compliments. Its been two weeks and Ive had no issues with it healing! It looks amazing. He really knows what hes doing.

Amazing experience. Everything was well explained and fast . Fidel was amazing he guided me thru the whole process and was quick and efficient while performing the piercings . He made the environment very welcoming and I would definitely be coming back . This is an excellent place for your first tattoo or piercing .

First time but will definitely return for my next tattoo. I shared the idea I had and they were able to do the tattoo I wanted. Chano did an awesome job. The price was also good. Highly recommend them!

Great place if you are looking for a cool vibe and great professionals. Got a helix piercing done by Soey, and he knew his stuff. Initially, I wanted a mid helix, but he recommended a low helix so that it would line up with my tragus piercing, and it looks dopeeee!!!!!!

Hard life ink is amazing, has been providing me a great experience for years!! always come here for the piercing and never had a bad experience love the vibes and atmosphere.

Great location to commute to- right off the J train. Soey answered all my questions and made me feel super comfortable for my piercing, he was super helpful and gentle. Clean environment and welcoming staff. Definitely would be back for all my piercing and tattoo needs 5/5 across the board!!!

Amazing service and very friendly staff! i went in for my frog eyes and the placement was perfect, he went above and beyond to make sure i was happy with everything. he did so good with me, that my boyfriend ended up getting his nose pierced without planning it! recommend 100%

Got my ears pierced like a week ago by Soey. He took his time making sure where the piercing would look it’s best.I started to get compliments at my job so I trusted the processGood looks bro!

OMG GUYS I HAD THE BEST PIERCING EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH SOEY , he definitely did his with my daughter belly piercing, he was clean fast and very respectful, my daughter enjoyed her experience for her 16 birthday until next time

I came in with my best friend to get my helix and second lobe piercings done. The shop was clean and so I felt comfortable stepping in. Soey was very patient, answered all our questions, and explained the process. We will definitely be returning!

I’ve been coming here for almost a decade. Love the ambiance and atmosphere here, everyone is so welcoming and kind, you can tell they truly love their job.

Just got my tattoo done by Chico, best shop ever.Great vibe and customer service. I will be coming back with more tattoos. I rate 5 starts hands down for best service and design.

My experience was lovely Soey made sure I was comfortable the whole time . He talked to me through the whole experience and made sure I knew what exactly what was going on. The piercing got done very swiftly and I was in and out !! This is my second time going to this shop for a nose piercing and I’m pretty sure he did my piercing last time😂 10/10 would recommend

Jupiter was amazing. He dealt with my aunt with so much patience and love. He made jokes to make everyone feel better. Will be back to see him

Omggg everyone in the shop is so chill and respectful honestly everything was a vibe from the shop to the people who work there!! I got a new piercing and jewelry switch on one of my old ones by SOEY he did everything quick and effortlessly I didn’t feel a thing :))))

As a woman, I often dont feel comfortable being in spaces where a lot of men are at. But I felt so comfortable at the tat shop! There were laughs and the tattoos I got are so sharp and beautiful. I would recommend Chico anytime anyday. I am excited to continue working on some pieces together

I went to get my lip re-pierced, and Soey was so friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I would most definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

I was attended by Celeste. She was really pleasant and welcoming, will definitely come back.

The experience here was amazing. I got a tattoo from here and I’m in love. This was a cover up n I can’t tell. This is fireeeeeee.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I highly recommend Hardlife_ink

Amazing service! My girlfriend got her septum here and the piercer was very clean, precise and overall seemed like he knew what he was doing.

I got my industrial and reopen my lobe piercings done here. Soey was the one who did for me, he’s was very sweet and funny, I’m definitely coming back :)

My experience was amazing. Soey was very patient with me and explained everything he was doing. I would definitely return again.

I promised my 13 year old Daughter I would take her to get her 2nd earlobe piercing. I didn’t have a specific shop in mind, and decided to go somewhere close to where we live. Soey was the piercer. He was very welcoming and professional. I signed paperwork and we were good to go. Soey made sure my Daughter was comfortable, then he suggested placement on her ears. He included her in the decision making along with a mirror to help us decide. He made her feel comfortable, and he was very gentle and precise with his technique. My Daughter was so happy.. 1 because it didn’t hurt that bad as she said, and 2 because she finally got another piercing. I got my 4th earlobe piercing next. Soey was the same way with me… the process was quick. I was very pleased with his work and also with the ambiance of the shop. I Will definitely go back for future piercings. Thank you again! 👌🏽

Fernando is amazing, just got my nose piercing with him and his hands are great!EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME HERE 🫶🏼🤍

My new favorite piercing place Soey is very professional and is great at doing piercings!

I really went there with my adult daughter, and it is not my scene. I figure if she there it must be OK. She had nose rings, and a tattoo done so far seems ok.

I recently had a piercing done at Har’d Life Ink and was extremely impressed with the experience. The studio was impeccably clean and followed all safety protocols, which put me at ease. The staff were incredibly professional and friendly.

Thank you guys for doing the piercing for my son! He was a little nervous and the piercer let him choose a song to play which made him a little more comfortable. The piercing was done quick, efficiently, and the shop was clean. Vibe was amazing. 10/10 will recommend and I’ll be back for my next tat!!

I initially got pierced on June 11th, today I came in today earlier and met with Ivan, he helped my ear piercing that sunk in and they were very kind! He took the old piercing out, cleaned and installed the new one that I brought in and they even offered me to come back next week to see how the healing is going. 10/10 service, amazing guys and skilled at what they do.

The fellas in this spot are really patient and super friendly! Soey did my nose piercing which came out so nice! I did chicken out at 1st but he was so patient with me. The process was super quick and really did not hurt. My daughter got her 1st tat done by Chano and she absolutely loves it!! She had ZERO pain and is looking to go back in a couple of months for her 2nd tattoo. I highly recommend this place and they are very clean!

Went here today to get a piercing done. The piercer was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The store is very clean and the piercer made sure cleanliness was a priority. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing.

Jupiter did a great job. Guys make sure to look out for him

After 2+ years of my daughter harassing me over a nose piercing, I finally gave in. I walked into this shop and was greeted by our piercer, Soe. He was very welcoming and pleasantly answered all my pesky questions. The piercing was perfectly placed and we were given aftercare instructions that were clear cut yet not missing any vital information (who knew pork should not be consumed a week post piercing). My daughter is elated with her new piercing and I am glad she’s safely off my back. :)

I got a forearm coverup by this place but they didn’t even fully coverup the tat still could see parts of the tattoo underneath it & I paid over 600 hard earn money on the tattoo I don’t even know if guy was tired or what but I walked in to good environment expecting something great smh by the way this happen in 2023 but this was my experience not to say this place is horrible place but damn…

I came here for my MEDUSA piercing the owner was very Friendly the Art inside is very unique they have a Variety of options of jewelry to choose from I don’t really go to places in Brooklyn but I definitely would come back again

Absolutely amazing experience. Me and my best friend went in for piercing. We called before to make sure we could however walk ins are very easy to do. They only accept cash no cards however they can also do zelle so it was super easy. Definitely going there again for more piercings. The crew was mad cool playing good music and made us feel so welcome. I definitely recommend this place.
