Matt is the best artist around. Highly recommend. Hes usually booked up cause hes popular so try during the week if possible. Always got music going good vibes. Gives the best prices around. Isn't out to shaft anyone like most people read more

I've been coming to hardline since I was 16, I got my nose pierced by Matt and was instantly hooked I'm 20 now. I've gotten one tattoo and 6 piercings all done beautifully here and watched many many friends get tattoos and piercings here as well. Matt does an amazing job with making his customers comfortable, I'm always anxious until I walk in the door and talk to him. 100% would recommend hardline to any person that asked me about piercings or tattoos. read more

I absolutely love coming in here!! They are always so nice and talkative. I've gotten 5 piercings here, (my ears, both sides of my nose, and my septum) and they've all healed perfectly, and I had no issues with them. I recently went in, about a month? ago. I walked in and asked for new jewelry for my nostril piercings. The lady wasn't very friendly or talkative, and she gave me the wrong jewelry. She gave me a hoop without telling me I was going to need pliars to open AND close it, and she gave me a stud that was for the opposite side I wanted it in. Then charged me $25 for the 2 pieces. She didn't offer to put them in for me, or even help. She grabbed them with her bare hands, put them in a tiny bag and charged me. Yea I can just switch the jewelry, but I got the stud in (after 10 minutes) and can no longer get it out without it being painful. Also I told her what sides I told her I wanted them in prior to me buying the jewelry. I will be back for more piercings, since it was just a 1 time thing, but I am definitely very upset about this. read more

Be prepared to wait a couple more hours than they tell you it'll take, because apparently this guy doesn't actually know how long his job takes to do. Nice enough guy but damn, give us accurate numbers because some people have other things they want to do with their day and don't appreciate having to give you 2 more hours out of their day than they were supposed to. read more

Matt was amazing with mine and my partner'a piercings. We came in as a walk in and he was able to squeeze us in. Piercing prices came with the jewelry and they were pretty affordable. Great choice of jewelry and the education portion was meaningful. Store atmosphere was great. Location and accessibility to the store were great with parking available throughout. Will definitely come back and look for further services at Hardline. read more

Called last minute. Got us in early. Made sure my daughter was well informed. Matt made the process fast and easy! She absolutely loves her new navel piercing! Could not be thankful enough. Place was very clean. Very professional. Will be returning in the future! read more

Great local tattoo shop in Monroe. Matt is a long time tattoo artist and a local of Monroe. He does clean sharp lines and is fast with his work.

Went to Matt Winter to get my art done after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl (see above photo). . . Matt has a great shop just on the outskirts of Monroe, Washington. Hardline is a fantastic balance of professional and clean as it is a fun parlor with many personalities with many stories to tell. As you can see from the work, very fine and it was pretty fast while carrying a great price. I will definitely be going back to hang out with the chaps at Hardline for any touchups and art in the future. . . read more

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I went in to look at earrings for my niece to get her ears pierced and also hoping it would help calm her nerves a bit before her upcoming appointment. I asked if they had time to do get me in for my 2nd helix piercing and they were able to squeeze me in right away. My piercer (will try to edit when I remember his name) was very nice and explained the whole process and also answered any and all questions the my niece had. When he originally marked my ear, I asked if he could the spot, as I want to eventually get a 3rd and have them as symmetrical as possible. He was so nice and patient and just really listened to any and all questions. Other places I have been tend to act like you are lucky that they are piercing/tattooing you-like they are doing you a favor. So, it's nice to not be rushed or feel like you are a burden to them. I think the best part of the whole experience is that my niece woke up early today and is wanting to go get her ears pierced today!! That in itself should speak volumes on how they friendly they are there. read more

I live in California, so Monroe, WA. Isn't exactly on my way home. However, when it came time to marry a dude I fell in love with, and ink our wedding bands on, Matty at Hardline in Monroe, was the obvious choice. Why? Because he does meticulous work, he's clean as a jellybean, and funnierenshyt! read more

Awesome service. Our 10 year old granddaughter REALLY wanted her ears pierced ON her birthday (today) - we just found out the morning of. We called a half dozen places but they could not help - but because it was her birthday Matt squeezed her in. Very professional and took the time to answer our (very nervous) granddaughter's questions. Granddaughter says "A GREAT birthday experience". read more

Matt has done a couple of tattoos for my family and I LOVE his work. I'm already planning my next one, two and three. His work is amazing!!! I get so many compliments from people about my latest tattoo, even from people that don't like tattoos. One of the many things I like about him is he will tell it to you straight. If he thinks what you want won't look good, you'll know. So if you can't handle uncensored honesty, you might want to find someone else. For me though, I'd rather get the straight truth rather than have something that is going to be permanent look bad. He is the expert, not me. Thanks Matt!! See you soon! read more

I'm just going to start by saying that Matt and Damian are characters that require a strong personality. They have always been welcoming and very helpful with questions and ideas. They are a father/son dynamic duo, and are great at what they do. I've had all my 20+ piercings done here. None of them have gotten infected, and the process is usually pretty quick and mostly painless. The prices are standard, with jewelry included. Matt does amazing work, and although he hasn't done a piece on me yet I've seen him work on many other people and I am always amazed by how it looks afterwards. This shop is rated R for rad. If you want quality work, with great people and awesome prices, go here. I honestly can't see myself going to another shop, and I really don't think I ever will. read more

I came here for a vertical labret, it was crooked, he re did it right after and it was still crooked. He did my love piercings several years ago, crooked. Then he saw them, talked shit about the piercer who did them (while I'm internally thinking "that was you") and then he pierced them crooked again. So I'm not going back and wouldn't recommend others too either. Neither worker had masks on, the other customer also didn't have a mask on. Just no. No no no no no. read more

I came in looking for a J-curve belly ring - a not so common style, but can help push out the lower ball if a normal curved belly ring doesn't work. Matt is very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do when he looked at how a normal belly ring sat in my navel. He bent a standard bar into a J-curve, and even rechecked it's fitment to make sure it sat well! The staff here care about their customers and will go the extra mile! read more

AMAZING love this place the environment and equipment were clean,very professional good energy an vibes from this guy haha he is a smart ass which makes it better his art work is the best I highly recommend this artist he did my first tattoo on my hand for my birthday and I'm in love with it read more

Never been here but plan to. I want to get a simple tattoo across each finger just the letters 5150 that's it. It's related to my past and a reminder not to do it again lol.shouldn't cost a ton. read more

I work down the street from this place so I walked over, when I got there all the signs were off so I called to confirm they were open. As soon as I walked in the door it was a hot mess. The entire space is a mess, there's junk everywhere. I told the guy what I was looking for & he immediately starting mocking me about what I wanted & how I spoke. I looked past that & sat down. He was going over my options with me, he started talking about politics which made me very uncomfortable. He has horrible perio breath & his nails were caked in dirt. Stay away from this place unless you want to catch some sort of disease and/or want to be made fun of. read more

Very rude horrible customer service. Walked in and they just looked at me. Not welcoming... was going to get a tattoo here. But now I will take my money else where. read more

Matt has done tattoos for myself and one of my daughters, pierced my other daughters belly button, and done a couple piercings for me. My tattoo gets so many compliments and it is so beautifully done. My youngest can't wait for her first tattoo from Matt. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my girls. He is creative and honest, and don't let his looks fool you, he's the kindest, caring and most patient person ever! read more

On top of the terrible service and rude piercer, the shop isn't very nice it looks dirty and very unorganized. All of their rings were all piled up on top of each other very messy. I do not recommend you go here, very unwelcoming and on top of that the piercing might be infected. read more

I just want to say that Percy did an amazing job on my tattoo and was personable. While most shops don't like kids in there shop Percy was joking and answered all there millions of questions they had for him! I would go back to him in a heart beat! Thank you Percy!! read more

Matt is a very talented tattoo artist. He is also is very kind (I was a huge wimp and probably asked him a thousand questions because I was so scared) and really knows what he is doing. He isn't a jerk about things, and he does a really good job of taking what tattoo you want, and perfecting it to you. I have gotten three tattoos and one piercing from him, and I will continue going back. His shop has a personality of it's own, and it's really fun and comfortable inside. For being one of the best tattoo artists, his pricing is beyond spectacular. Thank you so much Matt! read more

I would not recommend this place for piercing, they are very dirty and there jewelry is all over the place. They didn't clean or sanitize anything. I will never walk in this shop again and I hope no one else will. read more

Have had two piercing and a tattoo done here and have been really pleased with the work. Had a nose pierce done last year and sadly had to have it removed a week later for a MRI, Mat was great he took it out replaced it with a plastice stud, told me to come back in after the MRI and he would place it back it in. Going in this week for two more tattoos. read more

Went to get a tattoo to find this place closed down. Not sure if they've moved or what has happened, kinda disappointed as this was also where my son got his tattoo and he came over from the UK to get another one done. read more

This guy is the BEST. The compliments come in daily on the work he has done for our family. I don't think you can find a better artist. Seriously. read more

This shop is awesome. I had a pretty large intricate tattoo that I wanted completely re-done, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to come here. I called to make my appointment with Matt and somehow it didn't get written down, so when I showed up Matt didn't know about it. Which hey, it happens. But he was still great about it and got me right in. Considering this was a very time-consuming tattoo, I thought it was pretty cool of him to be so nice about it and still get it done since I had come all that way. I would have understood if he had to postpone it considering he had no idea he was signed up to do it that day. The work turned out AMAZING. There are so many colors in this tattoo, and I had pretty much lost faith in it ever looking great as it wasn't done very well the first time (different artist, different shop). He went over every single line and brought a whole new life to it! He gave me a pretty awesome deal on it, and made sure that I knew to come back if it needed any touch-ups but surprisingly it hasn't. I have other friends that have had tattoos done by him, and they are all just as happy. He is also very honest about telling you what will and won't work well when it comes to placement, colors, etc. while still respecting your ideas and desired result. You can tell he has his customers' best interest in mind. Highly recommend this place! read more
