So... I started going to Hardcore with my mother after the tattoo place that I went to went out of business (Penatration Ink on Bailey) and she got her tatts there but I wasn't convinced of their artwork. When I went to Penetration I heard that they were affiliated with Hardcore so that's why I wanted to try them and other then the uneccessary gatherings at Penetration my tatts were awesome and I had no problem with my two piercings. However, when I got my first tatt at Hardcore I wasn't satisfied. I got two simple fish on my lower back that looked horrible after it healed. The detail was garbage but that same day my brother got his first tatt there and he loved it! Also I got two piercings there and they are the only two body piercings that I kept. With that being said would I recommend Hardcore? If you know exactly what you want and don't keep changing your idea they aare good for tatts but look at portfolios of the artists there. I was dumb enough to go on with my tatt even after seeing the artist ugly hand drawing of a woman. That was my mistake. I should have went to someone with better skills because all he had to do was trace the pic on my back and he didn't do it right. There isn't really anything wrong with hardcore that wouldn't be wrong at some other place it's just that them being more well known that they get so many people talking about them. Anyway my mom and I will be going back soon and I want another piercing and possibly a tattbut not from thae same artist as before. ...read more
