Had a great experience here with Darlene! It was my first time at this studio as well as my first tattoo that took more than an hour or so. She was extremely professional, accommodating, patient, and kind. I couldn’t have asked for more. The piece came out absolutely gorgeous, I am completely mesmerized and in love. 10/10. Will definitely be back for more.

Went with my best friend. Had matching tattoos. Brite did a great job. Overall great experience, very clean and really pleased with the tattoo. Going back Nov.10th with my daughter to get matching tattoos. Cant wait!!!

I just want to say WOW. One of the best shops I’ve ever been to. The staff is super friendly, the artwork on the walls is so mesmerizing, and they have the cutest little gift shop that you can browse while you’re waiting to get tatted! If you’re looking for a clean, professional tattoo shop with great staff, come here. I just want to thank Chad for being so amazing, thank you so much for the great conversation and just being so understanding about everything. Chad was able to compensate me and help me out with a beautiful little piece on my wrist for my father that just passed, and I absolutely love it. I plan to come here to get my thigh piece fixed, and many other pieces of ink. But seriously, Hartford County is one of the best shops in CT, and if you haven’t gotten something done here.. then you definitely need to. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Hartford County Tattoo is easily one of the best shops in CT. The aesthetic and atmosphere of the shop is very relaxing. The artists are all talented and Nic the manager recommended me an amazing artist after describing what I was looking for. She fit my style perfectly. Nic was also extremely helpful and patient while establishing good lines of communication in describing the fine details of the specifics. Absolute 5 stars!

Got my second tattoo ever from Ty at Hartford County Tattoo. Not only did he have the utmost level of professionalism; he was also kind, respectful, and one of the easiest people to get along with Ive ever met. We did a couple of adjustments prior to the stencil and he was extremely accommodating. It was such an easy process! He was very consultative and it was so exciting to see how much fun he had with this piece of art. There are some additions to be made in about a month and for the first time in a very long time, Im like a kid before Christmas.I would recommend this place, and Ty, a 1000%. This sets a golden standard of tattoo parlors and I trust whatever comes out of there.

All I can say is WOW! I had an old faded tattoo and my very talented tattoo artist, Arlene did her magic to cover it with her beautiful peony tattoo! You can’t even see the old one. :) I’m so happy!The place is so clean and all the staff are super friendly. Will ba back for sure!

This is me and my daughters 3rd trip here,we have made it an annual event,we come all the way from Cape Cod,Ma.to see our Tattoo Artist Rick. He does amazing work,and the overall vibe there is super chill and relaxing. It is such a great bonding experience for me and my daughter too,who also loves the overall experience. Nik at the front desk is wonderful too,always so welcoming and professional and has been very helpful to me and my daughter. Whether you are looking for your 1st tattoo or your 50th,I highly recommend Hartford County Tattoo!!

Tyler FergusonMy sister and I had an appointment with Tyler today. We wanted matching peony tattoos and knowing that Tyler specializes in flowers, we were thrilled to have him work with us. He efficiently worked on our tattoos, while still paying complete attention to the details. The flowers that he created are gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. He was personable & professional and made us feel more than comfortable. Great conversation and fun & funny attitude just added to this great experience. We highly recommend Tyler and can’t wait to book our next appointments with him. He went above and beyond our expectations.

I had my first tattoo done on Wednesday night I had Chad he was awsome my tattoo came out really good I would for sure be back there and recommend Chad to do another tattoo on me

The place was very clean and well-decorated. The receptionist was kind and good at her job. The parking lot was a bit small, but overall the studio was very nice.

I went in for my first tattoo in years and I was amazed by the updated facility. It was clean and inviting, the staff was all friendly. Tricia did 2 smaller tattoos for me and I was very pleased with not only how fast and easy it was but with how beautiful the final product is. I would definitely recommend Hartford county and Tricia and hope to have more work done there in the future.

Brite is an amazing artist!!! Completely professional and very easy to talk to. Definitely made me feel comfortable. Great experience!

Rick was great. Spent time working back and forth until the tattoo was terrific.

If you are looking for a new tattoo, dont look any more!!! Hands down the best shop around. Hartford County Tattoo has THE BEST artists. Chad and Tricia are amazing. The place is spotless and incredibly well decorated with the works of all the artist that work there as well as others. PLEASE hit up Chad or Tricia if you are looking for a new piece or to continue a current one. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! Cannot say enough about Hartford County or its staff!

I went here for the first time, recently. Everyone was super friendly, from over the phone to the day of my tattoo. I booked with David and hes absolutely fantastic! Hes extremely talented and very affordable. He was very attentive to not only doing a great job, but making sure I was comfortable the entire session. I cant reccomend him and Hartford County Tattoo enough! Thanks so much for the beautiful work so far; I cant wait to see the finished product!

I went in scared for my first tattoo with Tyler and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He really cared about the outcome of the tattoo and new what would look good for the long term. I originally wanted a micro portrait of my dog but listened to his opinion on getting a larger tattoo for longevity of the tattoo’s detail and it came out better than I could’ve imagined. Tyler is great at what he does and i’m going back in 2 weeks. Money well spent!

Had the best experience today. The studio is clean AND cozy. Chad & Trish made me feel at home while getting work done. Professional, friendly, very knowledgeable, & talented folks at Hartford County Tatoo. Definitely making another visit.

Rick is awesome!! I emailed regarding a cover up and Nic emailed me back right away to get the ball rolling. The consultation was quick and painless and setting up an appointment was fairly quick. So far we’ve finished the first part and everyone has been wonderful from walking in the door seeing Nic at the desk to Chad popping in to say hello and of course Rick for his amazing work. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

I made an appointment for a tattoo and I got it done. I must say that I had a good experience with Darlene she was very professional and kind. Im very happy with the work she did I highly recommend her thank you Hartford County tattoo I will definitely go again in the future.

I came to Tyler for a very challenging cover up project.Over all my expectations were exceeded by far! He is very professional, Talented, continuously made sure I was comfortable, and is also very quick. A project I thought would need 6 hours only took 3. The quality of the tattoo is also amazing. Since the tattoo I wanted covered up was very big and dark, I was nervous about how a cover up would look, but you cant even tell there was ever anything besides beautiful flowers there (:Highly recommend working with Tyler

Diamond Dave - amazing personality, very detail-oriented. Does great work and is awesome to work with.

Chad was absolutely phenomenal for my first tattoo! His work is exceptional. The entire studio is clean and the staff is very professional. I look forward to returning for another tattoo in the near future!

Went to get a not so good tattoo (originally inked by another person) “repaired”. Chad, the owner, not only took on the task, but he transformed a mess into an amazing work of art. He freehanded exactly what the original piece was missing. Chad is truly a great person, the story of how he built his business is remarkable. He is one of the hardest working individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I’d recommend a visit to his beautiful shop, support local, it’s top notch. Thanks again Chad, keep up the great work. See you again soon.

Today was my first time ever visiting Hartford County tattoo and I can guarantee it will be the last. I had an appointment with 2 of my friends for noon. We wanted very simple and very small matching tattoos. The artist was almost an hour late to the appointment and each tattoo is COMPLETELY different from the next. How as an artist do you mess up a stencil that badly? Not to mention the ridiculous over price of the tattoos. Completely absurd. Never again will I return.

Tyler Ferguson is absolutely phenomenal! He did an excellent job with my half sleeve horror Icons tattoo.

Tina place was so great. Awesome tattoos and friendly people. I cant wait were going back again soon from Ny

I have used them before they were great theres always a artist for you taste or style

An awesome place! A great vibe/atmosphere and great people. The place is bright, clean, and inviting. We both had Cole as an artist and he is awesome! Strongly recommend going to Hartford County Tattoo for any body art needs. A truly awesome experience there!

I have gotten 3 out of my 4 tattoos at Hartford County. 1 by Chad and 2 by Tyler. I love them all! The detail is amazing and they really are something I am proud to show off. I’m already picking my next one. Thank you guys for the amazing tattoos.

Loved this place. Would go again. I follow my artist Jay anywhere but hes in a great spot so thats two things I like. Receptionist was super friendly just how you would want service to be when you walk into a place. You dont get friendly smiles like that nowadays, but you can get it there. Jay does great art work, patient and personable.

I had a great first experience here tonight! Got tatted by Tyler, who Id follow to the ends of the Earth, and all the other artists are super friendly and so insanely talented. Environment was clean, fun, relaxed and every bit as awesome as Id hoped itd be. Ill DEFINITELY be back and recommend it to everyone!!

It took me over 30 years before I found an artist I completely trusted to finally stab me permanently and I found that artist in Tyler. This shop is immaculate! Pre-Covid/Post-Covid.. the owners clearly take health and cleanliness seriously while still creating an inviting friendly atmosphere. Though Ive only worked with Ty, all the artists are top line professional. Hard not to be when surrounded by amazing artwork on the walls too! I highly recommend this spot, especially for tattoo newbies.

The shop is very welcoming, all the artists here are super relaxed, chill & very professional. The shop itself is covered in artwork you can purchase to help support the artists. I am currently working on my sleeves with Rick Stanton. I cannot say enough good things about him. He has an upbeat vibe about him, and an attitude that makes you feel completly at ease. Every time I walk in I have a new idea & it’s an immediate connection on how we can add the new stuff!!! Doesn’t matter how far away I live, this is the shop I will keep coming back too!! 

Immaculate!!!!! Must see!! Cant wait to have some work done

Excellent artist Tyler was very professional. Overall a great place to get work done. Cant wait to go back and finish my tat.

I got my first tattoo by Jay Goods and he was absolutely amazing. The shop was very clean, I felt safe, and he made me feel extremely comfortable. He is an amazing artist and executed my ideas perfectly. I would definitely recommend!

Amazing tattoo shop. I recently got my second tattoo here and after looking through Johnny V’s portfolio I chose him! He is an incredible artist and took my basic idea and personalized it better than I had imagined. Johnny V was also funny and made the entire process of my first large tattoo even better! For sure going back to him for my next tattoo. Highly recommend.

Got a tattoo a few weeks ago from Red. It was my first time at Hartford county it was an excellent experience. The girl at the desk was very friendly and helpful. I was getting a tattoo of my dogs paw I love all my pets they are like my kids. I asked her for someone she felt was what I call an “animal person” and she recommended Red. Great artist he totally got what I was going for. the tattoo he did for me is awesome and he took to another level with his creativity. It was a great experience and the shop was very neat and clean. I will go back for another one and I highly recommend anyone to get a tattoo from Hartford county! Thanks RED!

The only place to get a tattoo. Super clean studio. Friendly, personable and professional staff. All 4 of my tattoos have been done at HC and Ill definitely be back.

Mediocre experience . Tattoo itself is ok, but charged a different amount than what was being told. I was charged $550+ for just two hours of line work. (which originally I was promised a $150/ hour rate, I also lost an additional $100 reserve fee since I wasn’t sure if the same thing would happen again and they don’t refund booking deposit ) Not even colored. Originally the planned design was a bigger piece that gets break into multiple sections and I got a four hour time booking, but then the artist last minute altered the first section design to a much smaller piece ( it was my first tattoo so I wasn’t sure about what to say). I thought since we would have time he would continue the design to the next section but he didn’t. I was offered a “discount” rate but somehow still had to pay $550+( the artist didn’t explain at all, he just say I’ll give you a discount and charged me $550, again first tattoo no experience and since it was during the weekend so no desk lady on site to explain just the artist himself ). Also, there were some commentaries during the session really just put me off and made me uncomfortable. I also tried to ask the artist how much it would be for the next session and he said he “don’t know” even though by then he should have a clear idea about the estimate, so I decided to cancel the next appointment since I am not sure if I would have the same thing happen to me again . (Thus losing the extra $100 deposit fee)🥲Originally called them and got a respond that they will try to make it right and I was being promised to be called by the manager to see if things can get resolved, but only received a call that got silenced due to phone settings and never being contacted again ( not even a voicemail). All and all disappointed.

Jay Goods is a dope artist, his tattoos are amazing. Great conversation and makes you feel so comfortable. 10/10

Great experience, had a good time getting my tattoo touched up by Dave. I would highly recommend getting tattoos from Hartford County. Touch ups are free which is absolutely amazing for someone like me. Definitely gonna get my next tattoo in the future there.

Got a memorial piece of my grandfather yesterday Dave did a dope job. Came out better than I imagined. Chill atmosphere and friendly staff!

*edit* Within an hour of posting this review I recieved a call from the owner, and he was wonderful to talk to and was very interested in remedying the experience for us. Both him and his wife were incredibly polite and understanding of our dissapointment. Not only did they process a refund but also offered to fix them if they didnt heal right. They completely changed my mindset about the whole experience and made me willing to come back again.------The atmosphere and the people who work there on a regular basis were all laid back and really cool. However...my two best friends and I got tattooed by an artist named katie, who is apparently a traveling artist. Not only did she walk in twenty minutes after our appointment time smelling of weed but she didnt have anything prepared and it wasnt until almost an hour after our scheduled time that she actually started tattooing, she also didnt manage to make the tattoos actually match. Overall she was rather rude to me. We got a small tattoo that shouldnt have cost anything over shop minimum and were charged 125 each. When I mentioned that i thought that was ridiculous pricing i was completely ignored.

Diamond Dave did am amazing job. The end results came out better then I imagined. Super talented artist, very clean environment, nice friendly staff.

Tyler is a great artist. I always have a positive experience in the shop. No complaints.

OMG...Where do I begin? I took my son, who is 16 years old, to get his first tattoo. This tattoo shop was absolutely beautiful and, by far, the most PROFESSIONAL business we have ever dealt with! First, Nic, the receptionist, was flawless in her customer service. Secondly, we chose the tattoo artist Johnny V. to do my sons tattoo. We were impressed with his profile info, which mentioned the fact that he strives to make every tattoo his best work. No words can describe how impressed we were with this tattoo artist. We were expecting to get a tattoo, but we got so, so much more!! Johnny V. made our experience the most incredible one weve ever had. That man is a genius! Not only that, but he was very patient, careful, impeccably clean, and produced the highest quality tattoo...Again, no words to describe this experience. My son loves his tattoo, and we will only see Johnny V. for future tattoos. On a scale of 1 to 10, Johnny was off the charts! We highly recommend Johnny V. and Hartford County Tattoo for all of your ink work! -Happy Customers from Massachusetts

Best experience. Artist Rick did a great job on my name tattoo. I’m definitely going back soon to do another. This place is a five star hands down. Very clean, friendly, and on time. I highly recommend this shop to anyone.

Wayyyyy over priced let me say again wayyyy over priced and working isn’t that good from my experience will not go back

Overall average/disappointing experience. I got two small tattoos done by Johnny V on 7/18/19, and I was expecting to get some great quality work. They were my first ever, so I spent a lot of time researching to find a good artist and all of his photos on Instagram and elsewhere looked amazing. This made it even more devastating when I was not happy with my pieces just days after and I am certainly not happy now.The first piece was a handwriting copy from a letter my dad wrote me years ago. At first, it looked great. However, after just 6 months, there are several weird bulges and a few lines that are way too heavy compared to the rest (although this is not a new development, they showed up months ago) but weirdly also a couple of lines (The center and bottom lines of the I) that are really faint and already have missing ink. I’ll be surprised if they last a year or two from now. The faint lines could of course be touched up, but the lack of consistency is frustrating.I also got a stalk of wheat. This one is really problematic. First of all, there are supposed to be thread-like fibers coming out of the sides, and they are completely missing from the design. I didn’t notice this until the day after getting it so it’s partially my fault, but I told Johnny NUMEROUS times that they were a critical element to the design. Second, it’s not as curved as it was supposed to be. Third, there’s a particular seed (see day-of photo, yellow arrow) that for some reason is sticking out on an extra stalk and is weirdly small? Again, something I should have caught, but I was understandably hyped up on adrenaline and didn’t notice. Also, I have never in my life seen a stalk of wheat with a seed sticking out like that, mostly because wheat does not grow like that!!! For all the time it took (HOURS) for him to create this very simple design, an error like that is kind of ridiculous. Also, this tattoo is a blurry mess that looks terrible for only being 6 months old. There are also multiple spots of ink loss, although I am mainly frustrated with the severe ink bleeding. People regularly misidentify what it is.In terms of the customer service, it was alright. I paid a little under $100 for the pair, which I consider to be a very fair price and is probably the reason my rating isn’t lower. Johnny V was a generally nice guy, but there were a few weird moments where he was really pushing me and especially my mom to talk about personal stuff relating to my dad’s death. One of the pieces was a memorial, so it was bound to come up, but he pushed really far and made it awkward at times.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place or at least not Johnny V specifically. Again, I do acknowledge that some things were my fault, but I think that most of the issues I encountered were due to poor application. I can’t claim to be a tattoo expert by any means, but based on what I see and the additional research I’ve done, the results that I have gotten seem to be mostly a result of how it was done rather than something I did.

I have been tattooed by multiple artists here and every single one of them is extremely talented, friendly, professional and clean. Everyone has their own unique style, collectively, making this a great place for someone who wants a tattoo to explore. Even if tattoos are not your thing, they have a sweet art collection and all natural skin care products. You cannot go wrong coming to this shop.

“One stop for any tattoo design. If youre going go get your first tattoo then I strongly suggest that Hartford County Tattoo is your only destination.The most important thing as per my understanding is capturing the expectation of the person who wants to get the tattoo and the design has to match those expectations. Tyler nailed it. I walked into the studio with an open mind and explained the design I am expecting. Tyler drew the entire tattoo by hand and the final design was amazing. Wonderful nature scenes with awesome shading and I am happy that I chose this place.

Excellent job done on my first tattoo!Clean,safe and friendly staff

Awesome Tattoo Shop, Very Clean and Professional, Very Friendly Staff! My New Tattoo Is Beautiful!

I got my first tattoo done today by Tyler. Hands down the absolute BEST service I could ask for!! The design he came up with was exactly how I visioned it, and he made me feel very comfortable and at ease about getting my first piece. Also, the place itself is beautifully decorated and all the staff are extremely friendly. Will definitely be coming back for my second tattoo!

I got my first tattoo done here and it was a few words in cursive and a small image ( an emoji Size) added and it was 180$. Also the E in my word wasnt even shaded in all the way! Meanwhile I have many other friends who have gotten tattoos from this place and smaller or larger ones and their pricing actually matched their design. I am disappointed at the fact I got scammed as a young teen here.

Went and got my first tattoo done by Dave. Came out awesome! The vibe in this place is very down to earth, everyone is super friendly. Highly recommend and definitely will be coming back

An amazing experience all around! My artist, Red, took my idea, drew it out, and took the time to make any changes I asked for! I love my tattoo and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments!!I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars! I absolutely will be back!!

The entire staff has been great to work with. I have been here for two tattoos. Both times have been flawless experiences from start to end. Daryl is an amazing artist and Nic does a fantastic job at the front office.

The staff working the desk was incredibly friendly and accommodating when I wanted to book an appointment with my friend. With everything with covid they kept me updated on what was happening, cancelations, and rescheduling my appointment. I got my tattoo from Tyler and hes amazing, wicked friendly, professional and talented. I went in and asked him to add to a previous piece he did and he freehanded a stunning piece (he basically read my mind)! I love it and booked two more appointments the same day to finish it.

Love the atmosphere! Rick does amazing work no matter what you ask of him. I wouldnt reccomend any other place other than HTC

Absolutely love this place. The staff are incredibly friendly and the shop is beautiful and clean. Ive now gotten two tattoos from Johnny and am ecstatic with both. His passion and skill are clearly evident in his work and hes all around just a really great guy. His attention to detail is phenomenal and I fully trust his opinions/ideas regarding design. The suggestions he provides are sound and I love that he is more than happy to explain technical things to me and share his knowledge of the art in general. Hes gained a loyal human canvas; I already have two more appointments booked. Thank you!

RICK RICK RICK!!!!! Rick Stanton has an upbeat vibe about him, and an attitude that automatically makes you comfortable. He does amazing, traditional work and has no problem spending the little extra time and effort to make your ideas come to life as artwork on your body. It is very nice to go to someone knowledgeable, trusting, and just as stoked to give you a tattoo as you are to receive it. And even more so, it is extremely awesome to get a finished tattoo that is clean cut, professional, and flawless. Definitely book your appointment with Rick next time you go! You will not be disappointed in him or his overall piece.

This place was amazing! I got my first tattoo here. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. She asked me what I wanted to get, what my price range was, the color scheme of the tattoo, and gave me a photo albums of past artworks by the artist there. Joe was my tattoo artist and his price was very reasonable for the size of the tattoo I got. One thing I want to point out is that ALL THE ARTIST HAS THEIR OWN PRICE RANGE. So I would recommend doing your research and look around to see which artists artworks and techniques youd prefer. Overall my tattoo turned out exactly how I wanted. I was very satisfied with the work and I would definitely go back for a second, third, and fourth time. I would recommend this place, but the biggest deciding factor is the viewer themselves. One thing I like may be the worst piece of art to someone else. So it all depends on you.

I dont know that I can say enough about how much I enjoy coming here. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile and no matter how busy it is Ive seen everyone greeted and been notified that they will be helped as soon as possible.I see Daryl and I am so happy with his work that when we move I will be holding off getting any work done until I can get back here from him to do it. The things he can design are more amazing than I could ever dream of. He takes my very basic ideas and makes them come to life in his designs. He then translates that beautifully onto my skin. I would 1000% recommend him or any of the artists at Hartford County!

My mom, at age 71, got a beautiful tattoo here. She only got her 1st tattoo at 63 and this last one is her 3rd. It is an extremely sentimental piece of art. Her daughter...my sister....got sick with a terminal illness. She passed at age 50 which was 6 years ago next month. She had a love for ladybugs. My mom got a ladybug with an angel (cherub) lying on top of the ladybug. Absolutely gorgeous work!!!

First of all, the atmosphere here is welcoming. Every time I call or walk in theyre so nice and really listen to me. I am currently working on my sleeve with Johnny. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is very talented and works with me to make sure my tattoo is exactly the way I want it. He spends extra time making sure everything is perfect. Johnny is so friendly and makes you feel welcome. I love coming to this shop. Keep being awesome guys!

My daughter and I got mother/daughter tattoos. I gave Johnny Chops an outline of what we wanted and a few basic ideas for color and he did an absolutely amazing job! This was my daughters first tattoo so she was nervous but he made her feel so much at ease with the combination of professionalism and humor. We have had So Many compliments on the work and we are both extremely happy. I would recommend Johnny and Hartford County to anyone looking to get ink done.

There is no other place like this. Everyone is so friendly and all are amazing artists. Without a doubt the best tattoo shop in the state.

This is hands down the best tattoo studio around. Extremely clean, great atmosphere, awesome display of local artists artwork. The work that comes out of the shop is top notch. Been going there for years and wont go to another studio

Amazing. Worked with Rick S. Super super super excited to work with him. Opened his portfolio didn’t even need to turn the page. I knew it right there he’s doing my work. Thank you everyone. The chevy engine table, friggin sick. Sent a picture to my bud and he’s making one now.

Chad (the owner) runs an amazing shop and has such talented artists working for him. From the mini art gallery lining the lobby and down the halls by each artists rooms, to the homemade products by his wife with soaps, bath bombs, moisturizers and chapsticks, its just a phenomenal place to be. Cheryl is my personal go to but each aritist is unique in their own right. 1000x over would always recommend. Youre missing out if you dont pop in for your personalized piece.

By far my favorite tattooing experience to date. The receptionists were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The shop itself is beautiful, very spacious and incredibly clean. There is an art gallery throughout and you are encourage to look around. Johnny did my tattoo and he was phenomenal. I truly cant say enough good things about him. We talked a lot about randomness and he taught me a lot about the tattooing process, the machines used, etc. He paid incredibly close attention to detail, my tattoo came out so perfect you would think it was a slap on. I will be going back to him in the fall to revisit an old tattoo. I was able to show it to him and get some feedback on what my options are and I am incredibly excited for whats to come as well!

Had an awesome experience here. I got a tattoo and since then I referred 3 people who got tattoos and are extremely happy with them. Highly recommend this place for all your tattoo needs. Each artist is great and has their own specialty so I suggest you review their portfolio on the website before you pick one that is right for your tattoo.

I have to say this was the Best tattoo shop I have ever been too. I absolutely love my tattoo done by Cheryl! I emailed her 30 minutes before my appointment with a different idea and she had no problem sketching it. The shop was spotless, and I have to say it was very nice to see she had her own private room to tattoo in, along with a door. Especially, when your exposing yourself! Everyone was so friendly it was amazing, totally different experience from other shops I have been too. This is the Only shop I will be using from now on. I will see you again Cheryl!!! Thank you and Happy Holidays!! Diane

Hartford Country Tattoos had a reputation that precedes itself. Consider yourself in-the-know if you are lucky enough to get shared for an appointment in less than three months. That is how long the waiting list is. They are that good! Check it out. You wont be disappointed.

David was extremely professional. The place was absolutely cool! Looking forward to getting my work done.

Great place with an awesome environment. Very friendly staff and clean facility. Got my Daith piercing with Alexis. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I liked that he talked me through the process so that I was aware of what he was doing and in the middle he would hold a regular conversation so that there wasn’t an awkward silence. Thank you Alexis for a great experience will definitely come back to pierce my other ear.

I got a tattoo here almost two years ago. They were extremely nice and very accommodating, it is very professional and clean inside. I wanted a simple black tattoo (a heart and semi colon combo). It was done quickly and looked pretty awful once healed. It had many spots that it was not filled in all the ways, the lines were sloppy, and it was not proportional. I was very surprised because the shop appears to be very nice and very professional. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the artist. I ended up getting the tattoo covered up and that artist was shocked at how bad it looked when I explained it to him. Luckily it looks much, much better now that it’s covered but I was extremely unhappy with how it turned out.

Awesome place

The facility is clean. The staff are very nice, respectful, and can strike up a conversation easily. The artists are professionals that know exactly what theyre doing. They take their time to get the piece perfect for you. The shop location is between a little mini Mart and a pizza restaurant so you can grab food during your long tattoo sessions. This is the only shop I will go to for my future tattoos

Hartford county is hands down one of the best tattoo shops in ct, not only for their work but also for their staff. Thank you HCT for being the best:)

I was a walk-in looking to speak with an artist about how best to touch up a tattoo I had gotten almost 20 years ago. I met with Cheryl, who was very professional and easy to talk to. And because one of her appointments fell through, she was able to take me in right that day, which was awesome! The entire shop is emmaculate, with an inviting vibe, and Cheryl was very, very cool and made my tattoo look better than new. All around great experience. Highly recommended.

Calvin Von Crush performed the piercings that I currently have just about 6 years ago. When I was shopping for a piercing artist, I visited more than 20 shops in the course of 3 months. No one seemed to care about what I -exactly- wanted. Calvin spent the time necessary to understand the crucial angles, in 3-dimensions, that I wanted. From there, he took the time to set me up with the correct sizes to ensure the jewelry I wanted. At the end of the project, everything came out perfect. i still get compliments from both amateurs and pros alike about how well it came out.The shop is clean, and Calvin is very rehearsed on regulations and laws (Even for areas that he doesnt practice in). The shop is conscientious of the entire environment - and are always considering and catching things that normal people wouldnt catch in terms of contamination, cleanliness and organization. Calvin is truly a world-class artist who loves his art, and his love of the craft is immediately apparent.

Besides amazing art and tattoo quality, the staff at HCT are the most professional and clean artist I’ve ever had the pleasure of being tattooed by. A+ ratings for everything. I’ve had work done by JohnnyV and Cheryl S. Ive also known the owner Chad for many many years. Great people at HCT.

I got my first tattoo here and had a wonderful experience! Cheryl is so talented and really helped turn my multi-year long awaited idea into a piece of art I will cherish forever. The tattoo shop is extremely clean and everyone who works there is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Hartford County Tattoo for all your tattoo needs. 5 stars!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Hartford County Tattoo. I called without an appointment on a Saturday and asked if they take walk-ins. One of the artists made sure to ask every single person if they could fit me in and promised me someone would give me a call if they could. He took down my information and Johnny chops gave me a call just a few hours later. Everyone was so so so kind and extremely helpful. Johnny did a very special tattoo for me and I cant say enough how much I am in love with his work. He explained everything he was doing to me and answered all questions I had as well as being very easy to talk to during the process. I highly recommend both Johnny and Hartford County Tattoo and I will not get a tattoo anywhere else after my experience today.

Cheryl was awesome. This was my first tattoo and she made me feel right at ease. It was exactly the design I created. I love it. Thank you Cheryl. Recommend highly.

This place is awesome! Cheryl worked with me to create an incredible piece that completely exceeded my expectations. I brought in a handful of pictures I found on Pinterest, and she was able to sketch up the perfect design for me! Emma, who works at the front desk, was also super friendly and helpful when scheduling my appointments. I would highly recommend Hartford County Tattoo to anyone that is looking to get a fantastic tattoo!

Ive had all of my tattoos done at Hartford County and every experience has been great. My artists have been very engaging and professional and the rooms and equipment are very clean. The recent expansion and renovation makes the place look great, too! I would highly recommend.

Always an awesome experience. Everyone makes you feel really comfortable. I highly recommend 😁🤘.

I got a tattoo of St. Michael and I am extremely pleased with how it came out. Dave is an incredible artist who had the challenge of working with an outline that someone else had drawn up. I couldnt have asked for a better experience. The studio is very clean and very comfortable, and the private rooms make it all the better. I will be recommending this place to anyone who is looking for a place to get a quality tattoo. I will definitely be coming back.

My artist was very professional and all of the staff were nice and helpful. The shop has an amazing vibe with a lot of amazing artwork for sale and also some really nice-smelling soaps and lotions. This is going to be my go-to shop from now on!

I had Rick do a piece of lettering on my inner bicep. Not only was his work fantastic, and I couldnt be happier with the way it looks and turned out, but all of his font is custom so no one else will have anything the same. He was great to work with and is an all around awesome guy! I highly recommend going in to see Rick!

Rick is an awesome artist and we def give him 6 out outta 5 stars!!! 👍👏

Best artist in CT hands down. I am constantly complemented on the work they have done for me.

Staff is friendly and warm. Im having jess Flanagan touching up my 4 year old tattoo and so far its looking like a new piece

I had called in regards to setting up an appointment with Cheryl, not only was cheryl awesome with responding to my first email, the woman i spoke with over the phone was so great and helpful. Especially the first time i called she answered every question i had and explained the whole process to me. Very pleased and cannot wait until my appointment in August to have my first tattoo done !
