I recently visited cincinnati tattoo & piercing after receiving a recommendation from a friend. Not only was I highly satisfied with my vibrant New Tattoo, I was also very impressed with the professionalism and cleanliness. My artists name was Jeremy. He really made me feel as if my business was his top priority by creating a custom work of art, truly listening to what I wanted from the experience, and following through with great work. He even followed up.with me to ensure my healing process was coming along well! The rest of the staff at Cincinnati tattoo seemed very knowledgeable and eager to help the walk in customers. After hearing a different customer comment on the clean smell when they walked in the door I began to notice how well kept the surroundings were. Excellent job at Cincinnati tattoo, I wasn't as pleased with the surrounding shops and I am so glad I chose Cincinnati Tattoo & piercing for my tattoo.
Additional things noticed:
+ clean restroom for customers
+ a huge jewelry counter with a wide variety for all piercing types
+ plenty of seats in the waiting area as well as magazines and artwork to browse
+ private rooms for both piercings and tattoos
Tips: here are a few helpful bits of information I gathered from my time here...
~ come in with  at least an idea of what you want, the employees seem happy to help you along but in the end, you're the one who is getting the tattoo or piercing and they want you to be happy with it.
~ listen to artists suggestions. These professionals know what they are talking about here! Jeremy really helped me with the color choices on my tattoo and his suggestions were better than mine.
~ if you have any question at all don't hesitate to ask. I was worried some of my questions were dumb but boy was I glad I asked. Jeremy said answering my questions was his pleasure :) ...even if you have a question after you leave he will guide you through to an answer over the phone.
~ scabs are part of the healing process, it's normal and natural to scab but resist the urge to pick, you can do it!
~ eat and drink beforehand
***~ and most IMPORTANTLy.... Bring cash for a %20 gratuity.... They put fourth a lot of effort to strive for your satisfaction and deserve a tip to reflect it. Even though I wasn't charged for Jeremy putting aside the time to create my custom designed Tattoo, I paid him for his labor PLUS a tip for the Tattoo. I was disappointed by the number of customers who kept going on and on about how much they loved their new tattoo or piercing but then neglected to tip! If you truly love your New addition, show them by tipping and referring their business to a friend.
Overall: this is hands down my go to shop and I hope you leave as satisfied as me.
