Cincinnati Tattoo & Piercing Studio: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Everyone here cares about what they do and it shows in their enthusiasm and attention to detail. This is THE spot to go in Cincinnati for A+ work, no matter what you need. Jeremy has been working on several pieces for me and has absolutely delivered from every angle.
Fantastic experience: The people who work here are excellent at their jobs. They really care about what they do. My daughter just graduated High school and wanted to have her naval pierced. This is her first and hopefully only piercing other than her ears. I was very happy with their skill. I highly recommend checking this place out for your next tattoo or piercing.
Fantastic experience: Great shop. Nice a clean and well lit. Staff was super nice and easy to talk to.
Fantastic experience: I got pierced here about 4 times now by Megan! (Nostril, Septum, & My Angel fangs ❤️) Super nice and very professional & my piercings look suuuper nice. Love Megan, definitely recommend Will be coming back again in the future!!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience here very nice people. Definitely recommend max.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Max Scherra! He killed it. He took the time to figure out what I wanted and exceeded expectations. I will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: This is a shout out to Max Scherra. I just had the best experience with him. He pays very close attention to detail and told me every thing he was doing before he did it. He is going to be a phenomenal tattoo artist. I cannot wait to go back to him! Thank you for everything today! Everyone check him out!! Since I can’t do a second review, I wanted to add to this one! Went back to Max and man is he killing it!! He’s such a pleasure to work with!
Fantastic experience: I totally love Snow! She made my Tatoo beautiful and had very helpful suggestions! I will definitely be back to get more work done with her! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Let Max give me one of his first ever on skin tattoos (his first on an arm) and he did a great job. If you’re looking to support artist who is just starting his career, hit Max up.
Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo from a newer artist, Max and he did awesome! He was super attentive and thorough during the whole process and aftercare. He made it a super clean, professional and welcoming setting. This is my second tattoo at Cincinnati Tattoo and both experiences were extremely positive.
Fantastic experience: Got an amazing scythe tattoo by Cincis own Max Scherra, super satisfied with the work. Will be coming back for more.
Fantastic experience: Max was absolutely awesome. He communicated each piece and did an amazing job with everything I wanted. The line work and deep black used to fill was super solid. The shop itself is very clean and inviting. The entire staff is super friendly and accommodating. Will continue to use Max and other shop artists for future tattoos.
Fantastic experience: This place it amazing I got my first betterfly and Erica is one I ramamand her she is awesome artist ❤️
Thank you, Debbie!
Fantastic experience: I have been several tattoo artists at Cincinnati tattoo. Piercings as well. I am a forever customer. Currently working with Jeremy on a couple pieces. As well as another artist at the shop.
Fantastic experience: very friendly service #stabqueen is definitely worth a good tip at the end ! thanks so much
Fantastic experience: I had gotten my first tattoos here around 10 years ago from Jeremy and was stoked. I was even more stoked when I visited today and had Jeremy do some new tattoos for me. I love the work Jeremy does and his etiquette. He's a really cool dude, he runs an awesome place, and he's earned a lifetime customer.
Fantastic experience: The people that are here are amazing and helpful. I forgot who gave me a piercing, but she guided me through every step of the piercing process. 10/10 will come here again.
Fantastic experience: Took my wife to get her nose pierced. Then today we took our daughter to get her ears pierced. These people are awesome! Gave our toddler who is a big micheal myers fan his own tattoo. Made his day! Thanks for a great experience!
Fantastic experience: Got my nose pierced yesterday! The woman(IM HORRIBLE WITH NAMES) that did it was AMAZING! SHE WAS SUPER NICE! VERY CLEAN PLACE! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank you so much, Shelby. Our piercer's name is Azara and we are so happy to hear you had a good experience <3
Fantastic experience: Azara is amazing at what she does!! She pierced my triples and did amazing, very gentle and kind. My second lobe was super inflamed and hot, I went in to try one of their pieces of jewelry and she changed it for me, cleaned it up, and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. Couldn’t recommend more!!
Negative experience: I've gone here several times for both tattoo work and piercing related things, explicitly for jack and hayley. They no longer work there, so I won't be coming back lol you probably shouldn't either! The owner does not respect their staff.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We love hearing that!
Fantastic experience: Great tattoo artist! They take great care on helping you realize your vision
Fantastic experience: If you're seeking the best tattoo experience in Cincinnati, look no further than Jeremy Robinson at Cincinnati Tattoo. He’s been my go-to artist for years, and I can confidently say there’s no one better in the city. Jeremy combines incredible artistic talent with a personal touch, taking the time to understand your vision and elevate it into stunning artwork. The atmosphere in his studio is both welcoming and professional, ensuring a comfortable experience. I've had several tattoos done by him, each showcasing breathtaking detail and craftsmanship. His ability to blend styles makes every piece a unique reflection of my personality. For anyone considering a tattoo in Cincinnati, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeremy Robinson. His talent and genuine care for clients truly set him apart!
Fantastic experience: Jack and Hayley are stupendous people and very talented at that. Jack is very careful and comfortable with their clients when piercing and Hayley is an incredibly talented artist. 100/10 will be coming back.
Fantastic experience: This studio is super cute! Jack recently did my eyebrow piercing and helped me find new jewelry for my medusa piercing. Everyone was very friendly and professional.
Fantastic experience: Jack is an amazing and very informative piercer! He gave me a Labret and an Ashley. They look beautiful after a week, can't wait to get more jewelry! Also, Hayley is one of my amazing tattoo artists. She was at another shop when she did mine and my bfs but they are fiyaaaa!! True artists that won't let you down, they will be honest if it's not their style.
Fantastic experience: Recently paid my third visit to Cincinnati tattoo. My tattoo artist is Erika and she is so fantastic. I have been getting tattoos for more a decade and when my long time artist retired, I needed a new one. I feel so lucky to have found her! This shop is always clean, the artists professional and the people are cool. My only complaint is parking, it is very limited. If you're bringing more than one person, please car pool.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great prices, I've gotten tattoos there and my 7 year old daughter actually just got her ears pierced there. They worked excellent with her. Nothing scary
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here as well as my septum and both were amazing experiences! Erika did such a great job on my tattoo and I'm very excited to get it finished at the end of April! She's super understanding and caring about you and your experience. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: couldn't be happier with the tattoo I received from Jeremy. Their attention to detail and skillful execution exceeded my expectations, and I'm already planning my next visit for another piece.
Fantastic experience: Layla is the best . The tattoos she has done on me so far they have came out so amazing and every time i show her what i want and how i want it some how she comes out with a way better version then what i picture . I’ll always go to her !
Fantastic experience: Erika tattooed me in a nsfw spot and was VERY respectful and professional about the whole thing. Told me every time she was going to touch or move something around. It was a private and safe space. Was able to take me same day and was kind every time I asked her to change something about the design! This apprentice is going places!!
Fantastic experience: Great shop. Clean & professional. I look forward to returning.
Fantastic experience: They've been around for quite some time now! The place where I got my first tattoo and piercing & personally the only place in the tri-state that I will take my kids.
Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere, and great customer service.
Fantastic experience: I have gone to Hayley for 90% of my tattoos, and now go to both Hayley and Erika. Both of these artists are absolutely phenomenal. Their work speaks for itself really. They both have extreme talent that is hard to find around here plus their personalities are amazing as well. They truly k ow and understand their craft to the best of their ability and it shows. They are extremely clean, honest and hard working. I also go to Jack for all of my piercings as well he is extremely accurate and top tier cleanly as well as extremely informative. He makes sure that anyone who comes in for a piercing not only leaves satisfied but also informed. 30/10 stars for this shop, and those that work there you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Best experience ever. Great vibes and a building full of talent. 10/10
Fantastic experience: John was amazing! I got a piercing and he was great. Clean studio too!
Fantastic experience: Great service, clean surroundings, friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great artist here.
Fantastic experience: This studio is awesome, very clean with great artists. Highly recommend Keith!
Fantastic experience: Kirsten was so sweet and professional! She explained everything so throughly. I would recommend her 100%. So easy to get ahold of and schedule. If I get another piercing in the future it will be with her, can’t recommend her enough!
Fantastic experience: This was my second trip from the Chicago area to Cincinnati Tattoo Studio to get a tattoo from Alexis, and I have already scheduled another visit! My first tattoo from Alexis is two years old and remains vibrant and beautiful, so I know the new one pictured below will hold up wonderfully! I can’t wait to come back for more! Alexis is very talented and always a pleasure to spend time with ❤️
Fantastic experience: Brandon is awesome! I have gotten several tattoos from him including a half sleeve and they all look great. I get compliments all the time.
Fantastic experience: Kirsten was very good. She pierced my daith and was very quick. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Got a tattoo from Layla. It turned out perfect
Fantastic experience: 10/10 would recommend. I am scared of needles. That said, the minute my best friend and I stepped into Kirsten’s studio, I felt comfortable. She creates such a welcoming environment, walks you through every step of the way, and answers all of your questions. I got a double helix and it looks great! My friend got a helix and Kirsten made sure it was level with her previous helix. Everyone in the studio was friendly and really cares about their clients and it shows!
Fantastic experience: Great place and amazing session with Alexis. I can't wait to book again.
Fantastic experience: Amazing work,talented artists,awesome vibes. Will definitely return and recommend every time
Fantastic experience: Got my bridge pierced by Anthony and had a wonderful experience. The shop was very clean and comfortable. Anthony was very comforting and great at walking you through the process. He was also very careful in making sure that the piercing was straight and in the correct spot, more so than other piercers I've been to. Will be back for more piercings fs
Fantastic experience: Extremely nice staff, clean and fantastic interior covered in cool stuff. Anthony was a really kind piercer to work with. Queer friendly.
Negative experience: Gerty did mine. The line work could be better, but the service was great. Edit: the tattoo healed horribly and it is, without a doubt, the worst piece on my body. I don't recommend letting Gerty do your ink.
Fantastic experience: Our family just left after getting 2 septum and 1 nostril piercing. Anthony was wonderful! He was nice, clean, and professional. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Anthony did a wonderful septum piercing! Definitely recommend Anthony
Fantastic experience: Clean, everyone masked, felt safe, reputable artists
Fantastic experience: I got my bridge pierced and it was done by Anthony, who did a fantastic job! Definitely going back for another piercing!!
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience with Kristen (Stab Queen) Don't let the little house on the outside fool you! It's a spacious, clean, and very friendly spot. Very little pain during and I'm very pleased! Kristen ROCKS - she made sure my ear could accommodate the piercings and put aftercare and healing thoughts into the design of my piercings. Felt very comfortable and welcomed! She is so nice!!My ear is healing beautifully and I'll be back for sure.
Fantastic experience: I would 10/10 recommend. I got my ear lobes pierced by Anthony and he was so nice and friendly
Fantastic experience: Kristin did my piercing a few weeks ago and she was excellent. Very compassionate and professional.
Fantastic experience: Had a piercing done at a different shop that needed correcting. Kirsten was so incredibly helpful and kind. Will definitely be coming back here for any future piercings.
Fantastic experience: Went to see Alexis, who was not only warm and inviting, and did a fantastic job, but she went above and beyond, playing some of the game I was getting mt piece from to help her understand it and do the best job. Not to mention, still looks about as fresh and clean as the day I got it.
Fantastic experience: My wife’s tattoo was extremely detailed and beautifully done.
Fantastic experience: This has been my go to shop since 2014, when I made the leap to start covering myself in tattoos. Alexis has done most of my work, but I have also been tattooed by Brandon and Kassidy as well. I have well over 30 tattoos, and all but my first few are from this shop. That’s because no other shop has made me feel as comfortable and welcomed. I’ve also had close to 20 piercings all done here by Kirsten and Anthony both. They both are excellent at walking you through the process, and easing any anxieties you may have. The shop also has artists that work in various art styles, so you’re able to meet with an artist who can produce the piece you want, and for piercings, Kirsten and Anthony offer a wide variety of jewelry at numerous price points. The shop is welcoming, and inclusive, and I’m so thankful for everyone I’ve met here!
Fantastic experience: Cream of the crop artists and people!! Great environment, professional, friendly, and full of creative juices!! Alexis and Anthony are wonderful!!
Negative experience: I live in Cincinnati and I wanna be proud of this shop but I just can’t! We have given them chance after chance to make us proud but the place is just mediocre.
Fantastic experience: Been going here for a year and let me tell ya something; I'm not going to stop going until nick moves or my body is completely covered. The man has talent and I'm his walking billboard. Proud of it too. Don't be a ninny, come get some work did.
Fantastic experience: I have gotten a few tattoos here from Brandon Durbin and he is amazing. Super fun guy to work with and an amazing artist. All of the staff I have met here are super kind and fun too.
Fantastic experience: Alexis is the best tattoo artist. It's a very nice clean and friendly place. I will always get tattoos and piercings from them.
Fantastic experience: I had my nose pierced. Great experience.
Fantastic experience: The piercer, Kirsten (@stabqueen on that Finsta), was super nice and, much like Pop Tarts, made things "crazy good." 10/10 would get stabbed again.
Fantastic experience: Staff is super nice and know their stuff. I 100% recommend Anthony to do your piercings!
Positive experience: The pierciest that did my snakebites was absolutely amazing! It was super fast and they made me as comfortable as possible will definitely be returning for future piercings!
Fantastic experience: My daughter and son go here they have never been let down..,,,!!!!
Fantastic experience: Alexis does my tattoos and my fiances . And ofcourse she is the best and fabulous and always cool to hang out with . The employees are always friendly as well , highly recommend this place .
Fantastic experience: Got my nose and ears pierced by Anthony, amazing customer service and great dude. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great place! Artists are extremely talented and professional. Gerty is the BEST!!
Fantastic experience: Gotten tattooed and pierced here and both have been wonderful experiences, all the safe is so friendly and welcoming and its such a clean little studio
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. Been going here since I moved to Cincinnati for 2 1/2 years. The staff is super friendly and they're such understanding people. I have gotten services from Anthony, Kirsten, and Brandon and they are all just wonderful people. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Fantastic experience: Gerty was absolutely amazing. She was cool to talk to, and made me feel very comfortable the entire time. Her work is phenomenal and I will definitely be going back to her for the rest of my work!
Fantastic experience: Figured it was about time to leave a review. Gerty has done 9 individual tattoos for me so far. I love all of them, she makes suggestions on my ideas and art but never pressures me to change once I have made a decision. She is friendly, and very careful to keep everything clean and safe. Now that we are living in a covid world everyone at the shop is wonderful about keeping masks on and making sure their clients health is looked after. I have another appointment this weekend to get my 10th piece from Gerty and I am excited as always!
Fantastic experience: Gerty did a fantastic job on redoing an old tattoo that was faded and hard to see. I would recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I've been getting tattooed by Gerty for about a year now, and I love her so much! Her work is amazing, and I've never had an artist who made me feel as comfortable as she does. She's tattooing me again in a couple weeks actually! (These are all spooky, btw, because that's what goes on my left arm.)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been tattooed by both Nick and Gerty and they both did amazing jobs! Love the environment and all my tattoos have healed great!!
Fantastic experience: The majority of my tattoos are from Gerty and I love every single one of them. She makes me feel comfortable throughout the entire process and the quality of her work is phenomenal. I've been getting tattooed by her since she started apprenticing and I was really excited when she came to Cincinnati tattoo studio because all of the tattoo artists and piercers are fantastic. I've been tattooed by Brandon as well and I love that piece. I've also had my lip pierced by Kirsten. I will continue to get body art done here because the quality is amazing and I feel more comfortable and welcomed in this shop than any other shop I've ever been into.
Fantastic experience: Some of the nicest folks I’ve met in tattooing. Very professional and kind! You’ll be happy you went
Negative experience: Went to get a price for a hand tattoo that I already have something on and instead of telling me she didn’t feel comfortable doing my tattoo she let me make a deposit and appointment then cancelled after telling me to send her the picture I wanted. Lulabelle Gertrude. I WOULD not recommend her ANYWHERE!!! If it was anything less then a star she would definitely get it.
Fantastic experience: Always love this place! The people are super friendly and they genuinely care that you are comfortable. Would definitely recommend anyone to go here!
Negative experience: Honestly if you can't be bothered to pick up the phone for a 2 secound call to make 500-1000$. How am I going to feel about the drive for quality work? Not professional and not a good way to make money. So far I've spent 5,000$ at another shop.
Fantastic experience: The staff was really nice and made me feel comfortable. Gerty was my tattoo artist and I absolutely loved her! She was really nice and did a great job on my tattoo. I will definitely be coming back.
Fantastic experience: Totally love it here! The artists are kind and fun to be around and do amazing work. Gerty is my favorite artist here.
Negative experience: Followed guidelines listed on door to call given # to be allowed entrance. Rang 20 times and nobody answered. Wasted my time. Advise find a more reputable location. Don't trust these losers
we are closed on new years day we have people working on cleaning the shop sorry we couldent help you today
Fantastic experience: Great place to get a great tattoo design that you want.
Fantastic experience: I haven't actually been to this location yet but I called to ask questions about nose piercings. Well unfortunately, because of the job I do I am ineligible because of Covid restrictions to get it done. I've never felt so respected getting turned down for something. Lol. The guy was very apologetic, cordial and appreciated my understanding about the situation. I was told that after a proper incubation period away from my job that met the guidelines, I would be able to but they must keep their customers safe. Who could be mad at that? Best believe this is where I'll be going to get it done. Shout out to the guy I spoke to. You rep your company well.
Fantastic experience: Anthony is amazing. I came in with a botched nose and helix piercing on two separate occasions. He was able to tell me what went wrong, how to fix it and how to care for my piercings. Incredibly nice and welcoming. You can tell everything was nicely organized, everything is in individual packaging that they open right there in front of you, it's so clean! Definitely will be back.
Fantastic experience: This is not only the place I get tattoos but also one of my top three favorite business in Cincinnati. Everyone that works here is excited to help paint or poke you in the most professional manner. Alexis has spent close to 48 hours working on me, she is a g.o.a.t. I would look at all the artist portfolios to see which would be the best fit for your project. Also; if you are mean to any of them I will stand out side your house with a boom box playing music at the wrong rpm.
Fantastic experience: Jeremy is awesome!!! He does great work and is very professional. I have an ideal and he brings it to life. My last one he did an add-on and everyone love it.
Positive experience: A great studio with friendly and caring staff! Got my first tattoo with Keith, and he was so supportive, flexible, and helpful throughout the process. Would highly recommend this studio in the Cincinnati/NKY area!
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of being tattooed twice here. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality tattoo.
Fantastic experience: Kirsten is such an amazing piercer. I trust her 100% and ALWAYS recommend my friends go to her. She’s so sweet and creates a calming environment for something that could otherwise be stressful! She is truly an artist who cares about her clients!
Negative experience: Ya know... I've been here a couple times and have had great service. But this time I went and wasted 3 hours for the artist to draw up a tattoo and then take someone else while I was waiting outside. Very rude and a waste of my time.
Fantastic experience: Very polite informed staff that are very friendly and eager to help you with any questions or concerns you might have with your new tattoo, piercing or anything else body modding.i got my piercings done there and had a very pleasant time every time I have been there and I will continue to go back for any other piercings I may want to get down the road
