884 Lincoln Way #25, Auburn“Cailin is incredible! I have had several tattoos, and most of them have been with good artists, but I never felt comfortable, making sure that it was exactly what I wanted. From the start, Cailin's main goal was to make sure I was going to be happy. This was a cover-up, so it was very tricky. She spent a lot of time before hand going over what I liked and didn't like, and making something that I would love. I have never felt so at ease or supported with an artist before. I will definitely be back and can't recommend her enough! No gimmicks, no pressure, no pushing products in her shop, it's Cailin and her art, and her art is magnificent!“

“I’ve been coming to this tattoo shop quite a few times over the last year, and each time I’ve been welcomed by the warm and friendly artists who are extremely passionate about their work. I’ve mostly been coming to get some flash work done by ✨Rain and Ashlie✨, or to just hang out while my girlfriend gets her done and I always have a good time with them! I recently brought an idea for a tattoo that I’ve been wanting for awhile to Ashlie and she absolutely went above and beyond for me. The tattoo came out even better than I had ever hoped for, and the time and effort she put in to make sure each line was perfect was amazing. She always made sure I was comfortable and was doing okay since it was a longer session (6+ hrs of actual tattooing).
Ashlie is definitely a gem at Hard Times, and even though her main niche is anime style tattoos, she’s a versatile and talented artist that can bring your idea to life.
Rain is an amazing artist as well! They have an amazing eye for detail and have work that ranges from storybook characters to tarot cards.
I definitely recommend Hard Times for your next tattoo ?.“
