Been going here for a year and let me tell ya something; Im not going to stop going until nick moves or my body is completely covered. The man has talent and Im his walking billboard. Proud of it too. Dont be a ninny, come get some work did.

Ive been getting tattooed by Gerty for about a year now, and I love her so much! Her work is amazing, and Ive never had an artist who made me feel as comfortable as she does. Shes tattooing me again in a couple weeks actually! (These are all spooky, btw, because thats what goes on my left arm.)

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!

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 .

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.

Cream of the crop artists and people!! Great environment, professional, friendly, and full of creative juices!! Alexis and Anthony are wonderful!!

Alexis is the best tattoo artist. Its a very nice clean and friendly place. I will always get tattoos and piercings from them.

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. Ive 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. Ive been tattooed by Brandon as well and I love that piece. Ive 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 Ive ever been into.

I absolutely love this place. Been going here since I moved to Cincinnati for 2 1/2 years. The staff is super friendly and theyre 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.

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.

Staff is super nice and know their stuff. I 100% recommend Anthony to do your piercings!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

I had my nose pierced. Great experience.

My daughter and son go here they have never been let down..,,,!!!!

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!!

Some of the nicest folks I’ve met in tattooing. Very professional and kind! You’ll be happy you went 🥰

Gerty did a tattoo for me and it was amazing so I went to her 2 more times. I am already planning another with her. She is professional, patient and very talented! Highly recommend!

Always love this place! The people are super friendly and they genuinely care that you are comfortable. Would definitely recommend anyone to go here!

Quick l, clean, friendly, professional.

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. Dont trust these losers

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, its so clean! Definitely will be back.

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.

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

This shop is amazing. I moved to Fort Wayne, IN in the last few years and I still make the 3+ hours trip back here just to get tattooed by Brandon Durbin and pierced by Kirsten Potter Durbin. They make a very obvious effort in keeping everything clean and sterilized and the staff is very welcome and comforting for those who may be a little anxious about their body art. Pricing is great, the quality is great, and mostly the staff truly cares about the work they do. Thank you!

Gerty did a fantastic job on redoing an old tattoo that was faded and hard to see. I would recommend her to anyone.

Totally love it here! The artists are kind and fun to be around and do amazing work. Gerty is my favorite artist here.

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.

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 dont recommend letting Gerty do your ink.

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.

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!

I havent 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.Ive 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 Ill be going to get it done. Shout out to the guy I spoke to. You rep your company well.

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!

I highly recommend making Cincinnati Tattoo Studio the ONLY place to get a tattoo in the tri-state. Jeremy sets the bar on how a business should be ran. I had a tattoo done somewhere else and it was pretty messed up. He spent 3 hours fixing it and hardly charged anything at all. Absolute class act. A+++!!

Thanks Brandon great job...

Ive had the pleasure of working with multiple artists in this shop. Alexis Haskett and Brandon Durbin are phenomenal artists and the amount of dedication and heart they put into each piece all speak for themselves. Everyone at the shop has immense knowledge in their fields and are so friendly and personable. Kirsten and Anthony (who has been mentioned as rude by someone else on here but is the absolute sweetest) are piercing masters and care more about the finished product and their customers satisfaction than how much theyre getting from you.Couldnt recommend this shop enough!

If you want fine Art to show off to your pals or gals, I suggest checking out Brandon Durbin, Jeremy Robinson and all the artists here. Featured in many past and upcoming tattoo conventions, Cincinnati Tattoo and Piercing is the place to go when you want quality and true talent. Not feeling up to getting fresh ink. Checkout ya girl Kirsten for the hottest new piercings with the best quality and visual appeal in jewelry options.

Honestly if you cant be bothered to pick up the phone for a 2 secound call to make 500-1000$. How am I going to feel about the drive for quality work?Not professional and not a good way to make money.So far Ive spent 5,000$ at another shop.

Great place and price was great.

Never go back to these people again

They make it very difficult for teens! Even with me with them, they have to have ids.

Great place! Artists are extremely talented and professional. Gerty is the BEST!!

Great place to get a great tattoo design that you want.

Ya know... Ive 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.

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

My favorite place! Brandon does amazing artwork!!! I’ve visited four times for piercings and every time was easy and fun. Definitely plan on getting all my tattoos here from now on.

I just got my 8th tattoo tonight. And Brandon was amazing! Even though its my eighth one, I truly dont like needles. Brandon talked to me the entire time and made me feel very comfortable. Im super pleased with how it turned out. My sister also got the exact same tattoo. We got infinity tattoos with the word sister intertwined in it. This was her first one and again, Brandon made her feel super comfortable. She said it didnt even hurt.Id like to have 10 tattoos in total. You can be sure that I will come back and let Brandon do my last two. I dont even live on the west side, but the service was worth the drive.

Ive had the pleasure of being tattooed twice here. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality tattoo.

Brandon, gave me an awesome tattoo. The work was quick and extremely detailed. Truly professional shop!

Brandon (tattoo) and Anthony (ear piercing) did a fantastic job. Very good at what they do, and fantastic with customer service. Cost $95.00 for everything including $15.00 on tips. Highly recommended👍.

Tattoos by Gerty excellent artist

Super friendly staff. I lost my nose ring and needed a replacement before I forgot (Ive had to repierce my ears twice. Once jewelry falls out I kinda forget it exists.) they did it right away no problem for $15.Will definitely go back for new piercings!

I came here to get my nose pierced and a 3rd lobe piercing with my best friend today & it was GREAT! The staff was so friendly & easy to talk to & definitely made the experience less nerve-racking. I am so satisfied with my piercings. Kirsten was amazing. I will definitely come back to them for more!!

Great vibe. Excellent tattoo work.

I got 3 piercings today will be back for more! My Piercer was Anthony he was absolutely great. I hate needles and piercings in general but he made me feel super comfortable did an absolute amazing job. I am so picky that I had him redo my earlobe piercings I had gotten done at Claires. He had very good attention to detail making sure it was what I wanted. Super kind answered all my questions with educated answers. The shop was sanitary and clean. I will be back soon great experience!!!:)

So friendly and walk ins seem to always be welcome. Such great people that know what they are doing.

I told Jeremy what I wanted done he drew it up and it turned out perfect the only place I will get work done now is there

Great communication with the artists. Clean, professional facility. We had an excellent experience. As first timers, we were nervous, but Jared and Kirsten put us at ease. Extremely satisfied with the outcome. We would recommend Cincinnati Tattoo Studio to anyone.

I’ve been to this shop like 5 times and I’ve enjoyed every visit. Brandon has been doing my tattoos and I couldn’t be happier. Great detail and he takes pride in his work. Everyone is friendly and I will continue to go here for years to come.

Quick service. Knowledgeable. Felt very comfortable having my 16 year old get piercings here.

Was just visiting while a friend was getting work done. But. Very polite workers. And comfortable setting.prices seem decent to.

I just recently was pierced here. I was really nervous. The woman who pierced me was excellent!! I highly recommend this place for piercings. She was honest with me and explained in detail to me all the risks associated with the particular piercing I wanted. She did a fantastic job. Atmosphere was very inviting, staff attitude was professional and prices were reasonable. Only regret I have is that I wish I went here sooner. If youre questioning whether or not to get pierced here, I highly suggest at least calling them and asking them questions. They will be honest addressing your concerns and offer the best advice they can. Love this place.

Ive had some bad experiences with other tattoo and piercing places in the past. I went in to get a small tattoo on my wrist here today and everyone that I met was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. My tattoo came out great and I absolutely love it, would never go anywhere else.

I’ve only got piercings here, but the staff is educated in the trade. They are clean and trustworthy. I would recommend them for piercings for sure.

I went to Alexis and the experience was wonderful! Everyone was really nice and did everything in a professional and friendly manner. Highly recommend!

Kirsten has always been my piercer for everything I’ve gotten done. She’s more than just professional- she’s funny, personable and always 100% precise and quick! I love her and have/always will recommend everyone I know wanting a piercing to her.

I just got my Septum pierced by Kirsten. The shop was very clean and the staff was super nice. Kirsten was incredibly kind and answered every question I had. Ill definitely be back and reccomend the shop to anyone I know!

Received a nose piercing from Anthony and it was awesome. Great work and personality.

Great and talented artist. A friendly atmosphere and amazing work.

Very friendly service#stabqueen is definitely worth a good tip at the end !thanks so much

My cousin and I both and got piercings today. I got my belly button & she got her nose. This was my first piercing & they did one of the best jobs I couldve imagined! My Mom was impressed and they were really cool down to earth people. Next piercing/tattoo I ever get I am going here! Cincinnati Tattoo is my go to place now! :)

Went to get my wifes ears pierced, saw they only took cash. So I walked the 475 feet to the ATM and by the time I got back she was done! Well be back...

This place is great for piercings! The staff is courteous, and you dont have to wait to be helped. Me and my friend both got piercings, and Kiersten did awesome.

I just got my very 1st tattoo. Thank you so much Jeremy! He did an amazing job and i was comfortable the entire time and i couldnt have had a better 1st experience.

Brandon did an amazing job on my tattoos, was super chill and gave me exactly what I asked for. The whole atmosphere in general is relaxed and everyone is so nice.

Got a cover up done on my side and I’d say it turned out great! Very pleased with the service and happy about the Christmas deals that were going on. Great place!

Amazing shop! Alexis Haskett and Brandon Durbin do amazing work!

They were so nice and they give great tattoos

Got a walk in appt for a tongue piercing. My piercer was James, and he was very polite, respectful, and helpful with answering all my questions and concerns and giving me the run down on what to expect before and during the piercing. He fully explained the care to me, and walked through the whole process as he did it so I wouldnt be nervous. Hurt maybe a 2/10 definitely ask for him!

Get u a painless piercing

Best tattoo shop around by far. Everyone is amazing and so nice. The work done was perfect and Ive never had any issues after.

Got my ear done yesterday and it was quick. Then got a tattoo done today which was also quick and they both look great. I spent less than $100 here including tips. I would recommend this place to anyone. I talked to the employees the entire time I was there. Very friendly, very clean and very professional.

Awesome place!! Lavel is my go to and a gifted artist. Will be getting my septum done here soon.

Wonderful service. Kassidy was amazing and totally understanding and calmed my nerves as it was my first tattoo. Frequently asked me if I needed breaks. Great experience and Ill definitely be back!

Awesome place, I lost a end cap to a barbell and they helped replace it.Super friendly staff and very professional.I will go back Again.

Awesome place! Great vibes. Very quick but thorough. They make everyone feel welcomed.

By far the best shop Ive been too. The tattoos I have had done there are beyond amazing and I would recommend them any day. Their pricing is very fair for tattoos and piercings. The staff is very nice and friendly, they make you feel welcomed. I will definitely keep coming back.

It’s okay. Got a simple cartilage piercing which looks fine but healed at a steep downward angle which made changing the piercing for the first time both frustrating and painful. Would not recommend this shop for piercings.

This shop is amazing! All of the staff are super friendly and more than willing to work with you on what you want. I got a tattoo by Jared and he is an amazing artist!

I love this place, everyone there is super cool and they do AMAZING work. This is my favorite tattoo shop. Always clean, the artists are really helpful and try their best to make sure your ink turns out exactly how you want. I get all my piercings done here too.

Got my nose pierced here yesterday, Anthony was nice and helpful and put me at ease! Nice shop, nice people and I love my piercing!

Amazing job! Gotten 3 tattoos done from there (so far) and now getting my 4th done the 3rd by Jared. Amazing artists and such a positive vibe from the shop, highly recommend going there!

The people are great, Im extremely happy with the work Brandon done🤩😍💯 Ill be back for more For Sure!

I would appreciate it if your clients didnt pick my tulips.Thanks!Your next door neighbor.Youve been a great neighbor.

I went there for the first time and it was great! It was a fast process! One of the ladys did my nose for me and she did great! She talked me threw it and before I knew it I was done!! If I ever get another piercing, I most definitely will be going there!! Thank you!

Joe was the artist that did my tattoo and he was absolutely amazing. I will never go to anyone else. Pricing is fair, tattoos are beautiful, and I recommend it to evereyone.
