The best place to get a tattoo! Not only was all the staff friendly, but Nick was the best while getting it done! I’m not the best with tattoos, often get faint, etc. but Nick was so sweet and helpful. He did an amazing job and made going there so fun! Thank you, Nick!

I recently moved to Cincinnati(about a year ago) and I’ve been looking for a new shop! I have a lot of work and I am very picky about what shops I go to. But I think I found my new shop in Cincinnati!

Please don’t make the mistake I did and go anywhere other than this place. I’m now stuck with a messed up Patrick star for the rest of my existence and $100 poorer. They were nice and tried to fix it but im so pissed

My friends and I came today to get piercings. They were quick and all of the staff were professional and kind. Izzy is a great piercer! He was honest, courteous, and respectful. I would definitely come back and I would definitely recommend them to others!
