Best Tattoo Shops In Elk Grove

“Stefan has been doing all of our family tattoos for a while. He is super friendly and does amazing work“

“Sandy did my eyebrows (microblading). She is amazing! Her facility is clean and welcoming. I was nervous at first, but Sandy made me feel very comfortable and she took the time to make sure I was completely numb, so I didn’t feel anything. She is very meticulous and will make sure your eyebrows are perfect. I highly recommended!“

“This might have been the best tattoo experience in my life. Mandee, "Inkneerd", delivered! My tattoo of an ancient coin with an Athena Owl is like a sticker. The texture she achieved through shading and highlighting makes the tattoo look like you could run your finger over it and feel the bumps on the owl's chest. It's truly amazing. She tattooed 3 of us with 3 different designs of the Athena owls and we are all super stoked to have them forever on our arms. Mandee's vibe was so chill mixed with strong confidence. The shop was so clean and together. Black Wolf Art gallery is now our only place we will be getting inked!“

“Almost gave up on getting a piece on my inner forearm after failing to find an artist that could give me honest price not just the same response from multiple shops after looking at me and saying minimum $1,500 probably more because the size of your arm. When I asked how much for a piece on my inner forearm not one of them asked to see what I wanted done and instead just said "that's a big arm, it'll be a full day minimum $1,500 +"... gave up and happened to drive by Hard 2 Love, decided to try 1 more time, met Amanda and asked pricing. Before quoting a price she was the first to ask what the piece was, introduced me to Buddha he not only gave me the best quote but also said he could make my vision much better which is what I wanted as im no artist and wanted something unique. They won me over after so many failed attempts i told them I was not only wanting a quote but also wanted to find someone to tattoo my younger sister that wanted her first piece. I trusted Buddha and Amanda to give my younger sister her first tattoo that same day and they killed it. She was nervous at first but Buddha kept a positive vibe for her and she couldn't be happier. Following week Buddha tattooed my vision but sooo much better than I wanted. Whether you got ink or it's your first I recommend Hard 2 Love to everyone. Not just Elk Grove's best shop, but all of northern Cali.“

“I went in early this year (January) to get my lobes repierced. I had gotten them initially done years prior and had a terrible heal, so lots of scarring. Let me preface this too by saying I am a massive scaredy-cat when it comes to needles. I pass out, get the shakes, the whole nine yards. I went in to see Nyx and they were such an angel. I felt safe and comfortable. Their before, during, and after care was top teir. They were honest about what the heal would realistically look like (because of prior scarring) and I am so pleased with the results. I can not recommend them enough.“
