Mothers Tattoo

I only had one other tattoo (a tiny flower on my wrist) when I decided that I had to get a huge tree on my back for my 25th birthday. I went to Mother's because it was within walking distance of my apartment at the time. The staff at Mother's was incredibly helpful as I navigated the process of getting a large piece of body art. I came in with a drawing and they talked to me about where I wanted it and how I wanted it to look. Then they matched me up with an artist who fit the style of my drawing.  Sanders was great too, he worked with me so the free fit the curve of my back and elongated the trunk. He was also super patient as I made noises and cursed at him throughout the 4 hour process. Mother's was totally cool with my friends coming with me and then they let my friends eat in the shop as I got my work done. I am not going to lie, getting a tattoo can be expensive and Mother's is no exception but I am of the mindset that if you are looking to put some ink on your body forever that looking for the cheapest place isn't the best idea. Taking the time to find the artist you want to work with is a really good plan.

On a recent midwest road trip to see some different baseball stadiums, I ventured through Kentucky awaiting a Reds game to start.  After being referred to the Covington side of the river by an old friend of mine, I went straight to Yelp to find a good tattoo shop to complete my "baseball logo" collection.  The Reds "C" was what I was after, and thankfully when I walked in only an hour before the game, they had time.  

Brian, had booked himself a little extra time for some previous work that apparently hadn't taken as long as he thought.  Instead of just using that time for a break, he gladly accommodated my request for the tiny tattoo that would soon adorn my neck area (I'm really covered and don't have much "fill-in space left").  The technicality of this tattoo isn't that special, but the placement was huge and the spacing meant a lot.  Fortunately, Brian knew just what he was doing and had no problem resizing the tattoo to fit just perfectly in the small free space I had.  

If I ever found myself back in the Cincinnati/Covington area, I'd head straight into this tattoo shop and get inked again (assuming I had any space left).  Thanks again for the effort Brian, I hope this review reaches you at some point.

This place is awesome. I've had my entire leg done at the Covington location. These guys are professional, reasonably priced and have some amazing artists that are willing to work with your idea.

Ask for Brian.
