Connect your Instagram, tell Hardy about your styles, prices and rules, and try it the way a client would. Soon it will answer your DMs, qualify each request and hand you a real brief. Free to join.
Free. No invite needed.
Hardy never creates tattoo designs or images. It works for you, not instead of you.
The work behind the work is the part nobody signed up for. Hardy takes it off your plate.
Everything Hardy needs is in your dashboard. It takes a few minutes, and you can update it anytime.



Your work, your rates, your rules. Hardy only says what you've told it, and never shares your work without your say.
Hardy is the assistant at the front of the shop, not a replacement for the artist. It sends people your way better prepared than any DM thread, and it's honest with them about what good work costs and what lasts. The craft stays yours. We're here to fill your books, not to get between you and the people who want your work.

Not yet. You can already preview its replies and teach it how you answer. Real DM replies will start once Instagram approves them.
No. Hardy never quotes on your behalf or guesses your calendar. Clients see a typical range, clearly labeled as an estimate, and you confirm the real price.
No. Every client confirms they're 18 or older before a request is sent.
Yes. You choose what's shown, and you can disconnect Instagram anytime.
