We stumbled upon Hard Case Tattoo while exploring the town and we are so glad we walked in! My partner and I got tattoos from Joe and Chase. They were an absolute joy to be tattooed by, really attentive, easy-going, and just incredibly talented artists. We are so happy with our tattoos, thanks so much!

I just got my most favorite tattoo here. Clean, great conversation, easy-going. My artist was amazing! He really nailed my vision and drew it up very quickly. It was a great experience, I'll definitely be going back and I'd recommend anyone looking to check out their art.

Willing to schedule out very far no issue. My artist was Joseph and I couldn't recommend him more. Very professional, clean, courteous, skilled, and the best D&D tattoo Dad in town (sorry other dad's).

Christy Fish has helped me with two projects thus far and I couldn’t be happier with them. We drive down from Seattle to get tattooed by her so that alone should tell you how much we enjoy her art. She is extremely professional and super easy to work with. She is always willing to change little details if needed and she does her best to make sure you’re getting a tattoo you’ll love for a lifetime. The other artists in her shop do great work and are very friendly. Stop by and check em out!

I'm a little late on the review, but I think about her and my tattoo often. This was my first tattoo and I was a little nervous about the whole process. She removed my nervousness, but obviously could not do anything about the pain (tattoos are painful, just a fact of life). Christy obviously has a ton of experience because I gave her my ideas, a rough sketch, and she created a beautiful piece of art work. She even convinced me to add color and I'm glad she did. I recommend her work to everyone I know. I will go back again for another tattoo one day.

First, Christy is such a good soul. Second, she is an amazing artist. The perfect combination for a tattoo artist, in my mind. I was looking to have a scar covered and adored her work...with a little explanation of what I was looking for, she created a beautiful custom piece, better than anything I had imagined. The best part? She gets that tattoos are very personal and would never repeat a custom piece. Sure, you can bring something to her as inspiration, but she will totally make your tattoo unique and of her own talent...now, if only all other tattoo artists had the same integrity. Her little studio is so intimate and relaxed, it made for the best tattooing experience I've ever had. Lastly, she isn't afraid to get real with you...talk isn't just superficial, it can get deep, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I haven't even finished my first piece with her and I already have another planned in my mind...Christy, you are stuck with me.

Christy is very much in-tune with not only her art but also with her tools. Her precision and skill, her ease and mechanics, all made me feel completely comfortable and super confident in her work. I would definitely recommend her. She's great with working on custom projects and her use of color is exceptional. if you want an artist that's as skilled as a surgeon -go to her.

My review is overdue, but Christy is AMAZING!! Her private studio is perfect, private, and allows for plenty of visual stimulation in the form of pictures, art, books, etc. to distract yourself while you get tattooed. She did an absolutely incredible job on a memorial piece for my dog. It is so lifelike, I cried multiple times during the process. I couldn't have asked for more. Her color work is impeccable and I know that she was the perfect person to make the piece come to life. She is the only one to make me cry during the tattoo process (I have many hours of work and have been tattooed by several awesome people) and it's only because the tattoo is so perfect and means so much to me. I will be back to see her again for more work, because she is an incredible human being and an incredible artist.

Kylie James did tattoos for my cousin and I and we absolutely love them. She worked with us to make sure we were getting exactly the design we had in mind and Kylie was fun to chat with while we were getting our tattoos, plus the studio has an awesome vibe. 100% would go back.

Let's face the bygone days of getting a drunken tattoo are not only a cliche, they are over. Tattoos have become a very intimate (read: into-me-see) process.
The point is you want someone that cares, knows what they are doing for you, your tattoo, and your safety.
Christy Fish is talented, compassionate, tender, and careful with the ink she lays out onto people.
She prides herself on details, and you really won't find a better cleaner more comfortable process.
Don't just get a tattoo--we are talking about something fairly well permanent on your skin--have an experience where you have explored the symbolism, you have discussed the methods being used to inject he ink into your skin. All while enjoying her delightful bubbly personality and surroundings.
