Hardy has a tattoo of roots that starts on his head, behind his ear, and finishes at his hand. He also has a few other signature designed tattoos, one of which, a dragon, he hid from his father at a young age. It was also the first tattoo he got in 1998. He later got tattoos of the Chinese symbols for "Peace" and "Health", as well as tattoos of fire and a wave. On March 13, 2020, after a match with King Corbin, Hardy revealed a new tattoo on his back. Hardy regards his tattoos as his "artistic impulses". Hardy is very good friends with Shannon Moore, whom he has known since around 1987. He is also good friends with Marty Garner, Jason Arhndt, and John Morrison as well as Gregory Helms, having known him since the early 1990s. He regards Vanilla Ice as a big influence on him, and he was even nicknamed "Ice" by Scott Hall.
