Our adorable matching butterfly tattoos
Amanda B.

Anthony & Amanda are fabulous business owners! They run a clean, fun & welcoming shop and will go out of their way to make sure your tattoo experience is everything you were hoping for. My sisters in law and I planned a day to all get a matching tattoo and they brought us in first thing as walk-ins and accommodated our preferences, worries and design idea without hesitation. Our tattoos turned out so cute and we had such a great time chatting and getting to know them both. I highly recommend patronizing this shop!

The black work is supposed to be covering the old crap work underneath.

Amanda, the owner took care of me when there was a major issue with a tattoo done at her shop. She behaved in an honest and professional manner and kept to her word. I was provided a full refund. It all took some time and stress but if not for her it probably would have not played out as well for me. I appreciate that. With the refund I can have my arm tattoo fixed and the sleeve cover up project continued elsewhere.

An absolutely phenomenal experience with them, this was my first tattoo in the being done in the U.S. and I have nothing but beautiful things to say about both the owner and her employee that was there. Their entire ambiance was more than welcoming and comforting and the customer service was absolutely impeccable. We laughed and talked and created an overall connection while I was getting it done, it was something completely different to experiences I've had prior I can say with full confidence please come in and get something done by them the communication they provide is also astounding.

hard 2 love isn't hard to love at all! after my gf's papa passed we were looking for a place to take 9 of us to get tattoos in his honor. amanda the shop owner was not only accommodating but super kind and hospitable. dylan did our clover and shamrock pieces and lauren did a little wave behind my ear and fixed the moon behind my other ear. the shop was really clean and all the artists were really careful with safety precautions on top of being great artists and careful about placement and everything. we can't wait to come back for more

Went to Hard To Love Tattoo and was really impressed with how clean and renovated the interior of this tattoo parlor was, in which I was immediately greeted by the friendly shop owner (Mandy). I highly recommend this place, as it is unbelievably welcoming when you walk in and see all the pictures of family, art, and tatt's on the walls. They treat customers like family, and you can tell they go the extra mile, when you see their case of take-home post-tattoo care kits. Cali was my artist and he specializes in Hawaiian tribal/ Polynesian, which was a perfect fit for what I was looking for to complete my lower sleeve. The whole experience was a awesome, from his artistic process, free hand sketching, and sharing his vision of the design. I can't wait to return for the second session and upper sleeve touch-up, I think it looks amazing so far!! Make sure to make your next consultation at this place, you won't regret it! Stay tuned for follow up pics.

My very 1st tattoo done by Anthony at Hard2Love Tattoo and Supplies

I want to start by saying...this is one great place not only to get a tattoo, but to be treated with kindness, understanding and with a lot of knowledge about tattoo's. I went in today just thinking about possibly looking at getting information about a tattoo. Well, and hour later I had my very 1st tattoo and feel like I have a place to come back, just in case I want another one or a piercing, and also send anyone who wants to get a tattoo. Amanda and Anthony really helped to calm me along with my 17 year old daughter holding my had the entire time. I had been talking about getting a tattoo for about 10 years but was so scared. I just want to say that Amanda and Anthony were so welcoming and put me at ease the minute I walked in the door. This was my first time there. I felt like I had known them before and the fun, laughter and professionalism did not stop. I highly recommend Hard 2 Love if you want to get your 1st tattoo or your next. I also love that they are located in the neighborhood.

Scarface "world is yours"

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.

Please don't let the limited reviews deter you from coming here. I went here on a whim to ask some questions about a tattoo and the staff were kind and helpful with that. The place inside was open and clean. Amanda was really nice to talk to and kept talking to me while Toxic did my tattoo so I felt comfortable. It's my first tattoo after like 5 years so I forgot how the experience was like. They were very accommodating and fun to talk to throughout the entire session, I appreciated their energy. Would definitely come back to them for another tattoo. Thank you again!

Had an appointment with Anthony to cover a tattoo on my back. He did an amazing job! I was very nervous, it' been a while since my last tattoo. He was very nice and patient calmed my nervousness. I love how clean, bright and open the shop was. The staff was very nice. I can't wait to set up my next appointment. I will definitely be back!

I love the tattoo shop too, the vibe is cool with music bumping and you can tell the artists genuinely want to be there. Everything is squeaky clean and organized. I can't wait for my next tattoo from Mely!

We all know getting a tattoo can be a fun way to express yourself, but sometimes people regret…read moretheir choices later. It's not uncommon for someone to want a cover-up tattoo because they weren't happy with their first one. All tattoo artists know that a cover-up often comes with a story behind it lol . My husband got a crazy tattoo when he was just 14 or 15. As he grew older, he realized he couldn't stand looking at that tattoo anymore. Lol and he has nice arms but he'll always keep them covered because of that damn tat. So, he decided it was time to get a cover-up. When you get a bad tat you realize how important it is to choose the right artist for the job. A good artist can turn a mistake into something beautiful. I started looking for tattoo shops for his cover-up While researching, I found Elk Grove Tattoos. Edger, the artist there, really impressed me right away with his work, I can admit lol I stalked his page for about a week watching all his dope work. I finally reached out to him and explained my husband janky tat. Edger mentioned he liked our last name so he threw some ideas out about peacocks. What he didn't know was ... he already gained my trust because I've seen his work so I set the date and he did his thang. The tattoo came out amazing it had a lot of detail my husband absolutely loves it, and the best part is that you would never guess it was a cover-up. Not every tattoo artist is comfortable doing cover-ups or working over someone else's designs, but Edger handled it perfectly, and I'm really glad I chose him for this project. Now that I've shared the backstory about the tattoo, I want to talk about something else that is very important to me--which is cleanliness of the shop. I use to be a first responder so this is deff a stickler for me, their space is very clean and well-organized, which makes me feel comfortable right away. The vibe of the shop is very family-oriented, and everyone is friendly and welcoming. The artists act professionally, and their positive energy creates a great atmosphere. I also took some time to check out other artists in the shop work on IG because I follow their Instagram page, and I was very impressed by their work as well. Each artist has a unique style, and honestly, you can't go wrong with anyone you choose. I like that , that's important to Edger to not just have artists but to have great artist. They all have amazing skills and a passion for what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. I truly believe that you will be happy with any artist at this shop; it's a place where quality and care come together beautifully. Recently, my husband just doubled back to get a touch-up on a tattoo he got from a different artist. As always Edgar, did his thang. Once my husband removed the plastic and it properly heals, I'll share an updated picture. His plan is to eventually create a full sleeve tattoo, so we wanted to start with the touch-ups first before adding more designs. It's exciting to see how everything will come together in the end!

This tattoo also helped me cover an old scar on my arm with something I could finally admire. Stephan was professional, focused, and friendly. His attention to detail is impressive, and he made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. His work area was clean, well-organized, and properly sanitized, which gave me peace of mind. Not only is Stephan a talented tattoo artist, but he also draws and paints--his personal artwork is displayed throughout the shop, and you can feel the creativity in every corner. It's clear he's passionate about all forms of art. The shop, located off Hood Franklin Road, has a relaxed and creative vibe. Inside, there's a pool table, foosball, a mini t-shirt shop, and even karaoke! It felt more like a cool, welcoming space than a typical tattoo studio. Highly recommend--can't wait to go back and finish the full design.

John is a professional who is truly passionate about his work and it shows. After receiving my first two tattoos from John -- I left town and continued getting tattoos from other artists. Til this day -- the tattoos that John completed are the ones that are complemented the most! I get it! His work is amazing and it still looks great til this day. The reason for my post is that I am looking into a full back piece soon. The first guy that came to mind to complete this project is John. I looked him up and found that he opened his own (this) shop. I was stoked for him! Take my word folks -- let him tattoo you and you won't regret it. He did amazing work on me in 2016 and he has only gotten better. John -- I'm coming your way soon!
