Best Tattoo Shops In Dayton

“From the jump, I received nothing but support from aisle 9. They have been very understanding about the fact that I was in the middle of a move from North Dakota to Dayton. I think I had researched over 10 different shops in the Ohio area before landing on this one. Inside is very clean and welcoming. Normally shops feel dark and heavy but this one had the opposite effect.

When I got paired with Luen. I wasn’t sure about it at first but after meeting him he was extremely confident, reassuring, and skilled. I knew after our consultation that he was going to absolutely knock it out of the park and I was absolutely beyond excited. Not only did he do my arm but he finished my leg piece as well. I was super grateful because I know it can be kind of a hit or miss when another artist does half of it, so when he offered to finish it I had no other answer but yes and he knocked that one out of the park too.

The time after the consultation and tattoo day was built on great communication. The actual tattoo day was super calm, we took many breaks and he paid attention and is very detail oriented. He was very understanding and empathetic about how I felt and there was always great conversation. Just over all made sure I was taken care of.

Communication went on even weeks after to make sure I was healing well. I had zero hesitation with any question I had since I was on holiday. Did what I could to take care of myself and my new tattoos but I still had questions about healing and was more than comfortable with shooting him a text and asking. Talks of touch ups are in the works. ?

10/10 recommend. Seriously, do it. You won’t regret it.“

“Loved the atmosphere. Everything was clean and organized. I recommend 100000% . They have excellent prices / promos and wonderful artist. I will be coming back. Imagine i went for 1 tatoo and came out with a sleeve tattoo then I had to take my family because they love tatoos. Again recommend Uppity tatoo.“

“Britton is by far and away the best tattoo artist I’ve ever met. Kind, caring and passionate about his work. Had several pieces done by him and all have held up and aged well. Pricing is where it should be, and the entire shop has a very fun atmosphere.“

“Nick did an awesome job, I am so happy with my tattoo! Studio was very clean and everyone was very professional. I will definitely be back!!“

“Chris F was fantastic! Set a realistic expectation for my cover-up and really came through. I really enjoyed the entire time setting, 4 hrs. He made the time go by and really knows his craft. Will be going back!“

“I did a trade of art with apprentice Lydia Bach and got this super lovely bunny!! She was very attentive and communicated through the process. I am very happy with my new piece!“

“I got my first Tattoo done by Hailey! My bestfriend also got hers done by Hailey! Hailey is amazing, she is so cool and amazing at what she does. My Tattoo looks amazing and only took 45 minutes. Would definitely recommend Hailey for your first tattoo ? Such a cool and laid back shop to get a tattoo!!“

“Got my ears re-pierced here. Very professional, very clean, used gloves and new instruments. Didn't have to pay for the regular earrings, they are included in the price of the piercing. But the piercing is priced individually.“

“Josh thank you for perfecting my cover up. Truly amazing! Highly recommend Rebel Rebel Tattoo. Excellent service, clean environment, friendly environment, reasonable prices, outstanding shop decor!“

“I’ve been going to Glenn for close to a decade and his work is amazing, prices are great and he’s such a good person and artist.“

“Mike was very nice done a great job I would recommend him to every body. I will be getting my next tattoos with him“

“Chuck does an exceptional job!!! Professional, talented and truly does his best to ensure happy clients! I’ll continue coming back for all new artwork.“

“Clean and professional, Harley knocked it out of the park, Thank You, most definitely will be back“

“Stopped by in for a quick tattoo consult since I was only in town for 2 weeks. Jamie made time on his schedule to take get me in. Appointment went great. Loved the cool relaxed vibe of the shop and definitely felt taken care of. Would definitely get another tattoo if I stop back by in Dayton.“

“Got my tattoo done today, Bryan did an amazing job, he did exactly what I asked for and it's beautiful! I'll be going back again when I'm ready for my next tattoo. Thanks Bryan“

“Tay is the guy to get with, he's been tattooing me for a couple of years now and I have never been disappointed and he has taken my ideas and made them 100x better then I had imagined.
Talented and professional“

“All the guys there are awesome. All of them have variety of style and are great at what they do.
Brian did a phenomenal jobjob for n two of my tattoos, ollie did a crazy good job on one of mine as well. Malachi does phenomenal work and I’m excited to get one from him here in the near future.

Absolutely recommend, Sundays are great for walk-ins. The pricing is very fair and you really get what you pay for.

Really cannot find a better vibe and better artist

Edit: After being very comfortable with the artist, I decided to go in on a larger piece. Out of all the pictures you will see it, it is the dagger that took some inspiration from Sailor Jerry’s designs, and transferred to a crazy unique style.
Every prior tattoo on me was done by different shops, and now I’m a one shop guy if that says anything about the quality and service.“

“Chad does great work. My first tattoo was done by him and it healed amazingly. Very professional and knows what he’s talking about and doing. His years of experience truly shows in all the work he does. He truly cares about bringing his best self to each tattoo he does. Couldn’t recommend more. Currently in the process of getting a full arm sleeve done by him and it’s all turned out great.“

“Went to this shop with my husband almost a week ago and can't say enough nice things about Chad and his shop. My husband I are are very pleased with our tattoos. He listened to everything we wanted and my husband scheduled with him again to get another piece done. Would highly recommend him. Also check out his daughter she is super talented as well.“

“Great customer service, very friendly artist. Very reasonably priced. Went in knowing what i wanted as a walk-in and he got right to it. Will definitely return for more in the future!“

“This is a great tattoo parlor! I had the opportunity to get a tattoo here on 7/19/25, and I was impressed with the experience. This was my 6th tattoo. Every tattoo I have on my body, I have gotten at a different shop, and every shop always provides a different experience, whether it’s good or bad. True Love Tattoo Parlor provided the BEST experience I’ve ever had. I was immediately greeted by my tattoo artist upon entering the shop. My first impressions of the shop were that they felt welcoming, that the facility was clean, and that I felt safe and comfortable. I loved how the front of the parlor had plants and was bright with natural light. This parlor doesn’t fulfill any kind of negative stereotypes, in my opinion. Throughout my entire tattoo process, I again felt safe, comfortable to express myself if I wanted/needed to in terms of wanting to change my tattoo’s design (but I barely did this as my artist, Niki, was amazing at understanding exactly what I wanted!), and I always, always felt comfortable about the shop that the tools being used on me were clean and sanitized. Something else I really liked was how all the artists that were there just really jived with each other. You can see how the artists who work at True Love Tattoo Parlor really connect as coworkers and friends, which was important to me. It really shows that this is a shop that cares, not only about its customers feeling good, but also cares about its workers. My tattoo came out EXACTLY as I wanted, and my artist was accommodating, kind, and communicative throughout the entire tattooing experience. I highly recommend checking out this shop!“
