Abby has done all of my tattoos and she is absolutely amazing. everyone in the shop is always so friendly, cannot recommend a shop more

I got my septum pierced by butch just a little under an hour ago. he was so sweet, made sure i was comfortable, explained the healing process and answered all of my questions. my piercing was placed correctly, almost painless. i’m definitely returning for future piercings!

A friend and I came here for some piercings and Butch was awesome! They have real jewelry with a wide variety of prices. Butch explained the healing process to us and provided a cleaning kit. He autoclaves (cleans) the equipment in the room, so it was a nice confirmation that it was sterile. After piercing, he then went above and beyond by helping us with some of our other piercings. He helped us pick out better jewelry that was the right gauge and even changed the color of my nose ring to match my glasses! Then he helped us change out our difficult hoops for our new ones! He also wants us to come back for the first jewelry change to ensure it heals okay. He provided great service and the atmosphere was good! 10/10 Butch is awesome!

It was super clean and sanitary I love how he walked me through the whole process and was cool and calm I felt so at ease it hardly hurt I got a helix piercing and I don’t regret getting it here totally recommendation 5 stars for me 🦋

Everyone was extremely nice and friendly! Butch was amazingly and super patient with our daughters for their ear piercings; he did an amazing job!!!

Very professional, clean, friendly, and affordable! Butch pierced my nose and was everything listed above! I would definitely return for more services! He was also very gentle and made for the least painful experience possible!

Me and my mom had a fantastic experience!! Amanda was wonderful and matched the style we wanted to the T. Thank you so much for working with us! Such a friendly Environment.

Butch pierced my ten year oldss ears. He was so kind, patient, and informative!

Butch was amazing. Took my 7 year old daughter in yesterday. He was so amazing. He sterilized everything with us right in front of him. Explained everything he was using and what he was going to do in terms she understood. He talked to her on her level. He made it so easy she didnt cry or even blink. Actually, he was so gentle, she didnt even realize he had already pierced her ear! I highly recommend. He even had a treasure box for her to pick something from on the end. And the after piercing products are all safe and environmentally friendly with no harsh chemicals. Ill be sending all her friends his way for sure.

Had a great time my tattoo artist was Amanda. She did a cover-up and was super friendly, super nice and made me feel very comfortable will definitely be coming back and recommending to my friends.

Amazing experience every time! Amanda is a fantastic tattoo artist and always makes me feel comfortable and at home. The vibe of the shop is cozy, modern and professional. Plus the artists make sure sanitation procedures are followed well, and I felt very safe getting my tattoo as they staff followed all Covid guidelines. Cannot recommend enough for new and experienced tattoo lovers alike!

A coworker highly recommended this place to me. And I had a large price done a year ago, and Im now going back to get it mirrored on my body. James rocks, as does the other artists. You will need to book several monthes out, but it is worth it

I got my ears pierced and they are very professional and way better than gettkng them pierced at claires

Butch was amazing! I love my new nose piercing and was very comfortable throughout the whole process. I will definitely be back!

Everyone here is very nice, very professional, and very talented. I have been tattooed by James twice now, and I love the work hes done. I cannot wait to visit the shop again and get more ink done!

The studio was clean & comfortable. The piercing room was clean and cozy. My piercer was professional and gave me clear instructions. Ill definitely be going back!! 😊

Both my wife and i have gotten tattoos done here by Amanda and she has done superb work. The place is super clean and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They even have Netflix to watch while you’re being worked on. The Office is a good choice because it’s casual watching.They also have a water cooler, so bring your hydro flask!

Awesome! Amanda did a super job upgrading my 12 year old shoulder tat ! She worked with me and my ideas well....and even incorporated some of my artwork! Clean, friendly place! Comfortable atmosphere. Definately recommend!!

Howdy! I haven’t gone here, but I plan to! I was wondering what kind of ink you guys use for the tattoos? My friend has been a few times and recommends it HIGHLY. I would love to schedule an appointment, but I’d like to do research on the ink used as I’m vegetarian and want to avoid using ink with animal products in it. Thank you very much!! :)

Ive gotten work done by both Amanda and Dale thats amazing!

Took my 10 yo daughter to have her earlobes pierced. Had a great experience. Butch absolutely knew what he was doing and explained everything to us. Very clean place and would absolutely reccomend.

Super clean studio! Butch did ear piercings for my 6 year old daughter. He sterilized everything right in front of us and explained everything to her with a positive spin! Such a great experience!She loves the pink studs she picked out and the treasure box toy he gave her afterward! Would definitely recommend Studio 85 and Butch to anyone looking for a clean studio and great experience!

James was amazing. Thanks for all ur kindness and talent! :>

Very nice place. People are great!! Place is very clean. The work I got done there turned out amazing!

A great experience, everyone was nice and friendly and a clean environment and atmosphere.

I have been to many tattoo places in my day, and this one is at the top. It is clean, inviting and the staff is friendly. The artists are talented and listen to your ideas - then they execute a clean, sassy tattoo. Jessie recently started a Maleficent tattoo on my leg, and I gave her free reign to design what she thought would look good... the results are bad ass!! Love this place and its artists!

I have now been tattooed twice at Studio 85, once by Jessie and once by Abby, and I can’t recommend them MORE! The whole process is very professional - despite them being very busy both times, they were able to arrange a consult and then book a date for my tattoos. The shop is very clean and comfortable, and everyone there is friendly and professional the entire time. Both artists were very receptive to my ideas and created beautiful tattoos based on them. Jessie and Abby (and everyone there) are very talented as well as kind and welcoming - I highly recommend Studio 85!

Very cool people and great artists!

They are incredibly clean and professional. The piercer was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained aftercare very well. I will definitely be going back for my piercing and tattoo needs.

There are many places to get tattoos but Ive yet to see this shops equal. The shop itself has a clean, welcoming feel to it, closer to a coffee shop or art gallery than what youd typically expect from a tattoo place. All the artists are ARTISTS and theyre more than willing to work with you to create a piece of art thats going to be on your body. This isnt a place where some guys that think they can draw set up a tattoo shop and let you pick something thats within their meager ability from a book. Go here if you want a tattoo that is going to stand out from the crowd.

I’ve been to Abby twice - she’s wonderful! She does beautiful tattoos. The studio itself is very clean and cozy. I love it here.

Absolutely love the crew at Studio 85. Wont go anywhere else!

Amanda did an amazing job on piece and brought it to life exactly as I was imagining. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Absolutely would recommend Amanda and Studio 85 to anyone!

Butch pierced my daughters ears and he was fantastic! Super nice guy!! The place was clean and the equipment was sterilized right in front of us. Would definitely recommend!

I just got my triples and cartilage pierced, and I love it so much! They are so amazing, and Butch the piercer it absolutely great! I had my nose pierced here about a year ago and it turned out perfect. I highly recommend coming here for all body piercings. The staff are very nice and friendly, and the place is very clean and organized. Im very happy with everything and I highly recommend coming here, I always come to Studio 85, no where else!

They did a great job trimming our puppys nails (review for Barkers Barbershop for Dogs)

Love this place. Fast service and Butch was kind, polite and informative. Definitely going back for more piercings.

Butch the piercer was AMAZING!!! Shop is very clean, hes very knowledgeable about the piercings, and he has this expense cleaning machine so you know and see everything about to touch you is sterilized. Great prices 113% recommend

Amanda hadnt even tattooed me yet and was very receptive and kind in helping me plan for something going to be on my body permanently. Ill post the pictures when were done.

Studio 85 was extremely clean and observing all COVID precautions when I went in for my piercing yesterday. Butch was friendly, professional, and put me at ease right away. He even ran out to my car in the pouring rain to give me my water bottle that I forgot! Im thrilled with his work, and I would recommend this studio to anyone!

Awesome place. Great work by Dale. Great atmosphere. Everyone makes you feel welcome.

My bestie and I wanted matching tattoos. We gave James our ideas and he designed the most perfect pieces for us. PERFECT! They were different, yet the same and did I mention PERFECT!Clean, comfortable and welcoming shop.Thinking of inking? Definitely reach out to James at Studio 85!

My first time here, wont be the last! Butch did my Daith piercing, he cleaned and sterilized everything in front of me. We had good conversation which calmed my nerves, I want scared but my adrenaline was definitely high. He saw I liked Harry Potter and struck up a conversation with that.

Amazing place! Butch was fantastic with my daughter, she was so happy! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone!

One of the best tattoo shops Ive ever been to. It looks clean, pleasant, and fun. Its staff of artists are very impressive, both as artists and people. Its always a pleasure not just to get work done here, but also to chat with them and catch up with what seems like old friends. Their piercer is also very professional, and has a pretty insane selection of high quality jewelry.

Best artists in this area.

I had an amazing experience here. The shop has a very welcoming atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and informative. The consultation went very well and Jessie made an incredible design for me out of the pictures and description I gave her. I was honestly surprised how well my idea translated to her (especially since this was my first tattoo) and Im in love with my new tattoo. Also all information about my appointment, prices, and procedures were given very clearly and understandable. I cant wait to go back and add on to what I have now!

I came here to get my doubles pierced, left extremely satisfied. The place was exceptionally clean and everyone was super nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Ive been coming here since October and all of the staff here are extremely professional and helpful with any and all inquiries Ive had!!! Theyve gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable with the healing process and are always respectful. I highly recommend!!

Got a tattoo by Dale and it turned out perfect. The environment is very clean and nicely decorated and Dale was super easy to talk to and work with. Highly recommend!

Nice shop. Nice employees. Seems clean. Beautiful tattoos. They do piercing too.

Great experience. Will definitely be back!

I havent even got any work done yet and Im already very impressed! I called, before they even opened, to leave a message that I was interested in getting a piercing. I was surprised to get a live person, and it turned out to be the owner, Jessie. She was very gracious and professional and answered my questions. I decided to stop by later that day to talk further and to see the studio. The beautiful Jess was there. She, again, was courteous and professional and answered my questions to the best of her ability. I was impressed enough with Jess and the studio that I inquired about adding and enhancing some previous ink work on my back. Jess was very helpful, open minded, and encouraging. Needless to say, I am looking forward to working with Jess and Studio 85!

Im not one who leaves reviews for things but this definitely deserves one! Lindsay did an amazing job with my tattoo I got yesterday. She was very detailed, did a fantastic job with the design and took her time to make sure it looked awesome and clean. The tattoo is amazing as well as my experience. The shop itself is very nice, clean and well designed. I will definitely be coming back for future tattoos!

Friendly knowledgeable staff great for quick dainty piercings the wife loves her upper ear piercing. Industry normal prices. Would recommend

I went in to get a double helix piercing and was taken back right away. Butch was super nice and was very helpful in explaining the materials of each earring. once I had it pierced he went over every detail of what to do and not to do to keep it clean. he did an amazing job and I will definitely be going there again. it was only $80 for to be done and no appointment was needed.

I got my very first tattoo here, and I was nervous at first but the enviorment is so chill it helped a ton, also very clean. The artwork displayed throughout is phenomenal also. Dale was my artist and Ive every intention of going back to him -- he is really nice and easy to talk to. 10/10 recommend

Friendly, clean and professional. My family has had several piercings done by Butch and we will return for more.

Went here to get my first tattoo and Im very pleased with the service. Ive been in a few tattoo/piercing shops and didnt feel welcome. Studio 85 greets you as soon as you walk in, and all the artists were very polite. Dale and Lindsay did our tattoos and were super professional. The shop is super clean. I liked that they werent doing the tattoos right out front for other customers to watch. They have two separate rooms (that I saw) from the waiting room, where they tattoo. Our artists triple checked on the placement and alignment before they finally began. If youre getting your first tattoo, check them out! I cant wait to get another one!

I went in for a piercing and he was very friendly, very patient, and very professional. I was very nervous and he did a very good job at calming me down. Im very happy with the piercing and the price. I would definitely recommend!Update 3 years later: I came back again for another piercing and once again he was great! Friendly, calm, patient, and clean!

Professional, talented, willing to explain/ educate. Passionate about their work. Props to Butch. Thank you for a great experience for my teenagers piercing. I always appreciate you sharing your time and expertise!

I highly recommend Studio85! The staff and owner are always professional, caring, and patient. Im never worried about how my tattoo will turn out or if Ill get an infection. They are top notch and I cant wait to go back!

Jessie and her crew are ALL amazing. Extremely professional, clean, talented and friendly.You can not go wrong getting a tattoo here. They custom design everything to the unique individual!5 stars, 5 stars!!! I wish we could give them 100 stars, because they deserve it!!!

Abby did a beautiful job on my tribute tattoo.

Butch pierced my nose and it was totally quick and easy! He gave me tons of options and was very thorough on how to take care of it! I will definitely go back for any follow up instruction or to change my stud into a hoop. The prices are hard to beat and no appointment was needed for a piercing (:

Butch did a great job piercing my forward helix! He has over 16 years of experience piercing and was through enough and very patient with finding the best angle for my tiny ears! He did an absolute amazing job! I recommend this place to anyone and I’ve had lots of piercings done all around Cincinnati!

This place is awesome! I had Jessie do my tattoo and it came out better than I could have imagined! And the way piercer was great with my 5 year old daughter! It will be the place I go to for any future work!

We had our daughters ears pierced! He was extremely patient and explained the entire process before he started. The entire process was just about as perfect and painless as one could hope for!

Dale did my first tattoo and he far exceeded my expectations. I gave him some ideas of what I was looking for and he came up with something that was even better than what I imagined. Studio 85 is the best around.---New update. After being a a customer for over a year, I still cannot say enough good things about Studio 85. Dale has done a fantastic job on a half sleeve and we recently started a full sleeve. The tattoos have all healed great. Amanda did a great job on a script piece for me. Dale has done two amazing jobs on my wife. Butch has done two piercings for my daughter and has done a great job. Studio 85 is the hands down the best place for tattoos and piercings.

Friendly staff that performs great work

Ive had several pieces done by Amanda, including a cover up and my head. Shes very talented! I come from Indiana, a 2 and a half hour round trip, just for her! Shes worth every mile!

Studio 85 has done all of my tattoos and all of my piercings (minus lobes) and as long as I live in Lebanon always will. I love the studio space and people, always very helpful! Great jewelry selection and artists.

I would give this place way more than 5 stars. Its beautiful, the artists are super friendly and accommodating. I love it. I will not go anywhere else. I would recommend this place to everyone. Im so glad this place exists.

Took our girls here to get their ears pierced. They were awesome.

Great environment and staff! Abby did a great job on my first tattoo and she was very personable! 😊

Hands down amazing place. Both my wife and I got our tattoo here and the staff was very professional and great at what they do. Everything including the equipment is very clean and prefessionaly set up. There are several drawings from each tattoo artist you can look at or bring your own. They provide water if you need it and the bathroom is very clean.

I heard great things about an artist at studio 85 and have been trying to get a tattoo from Dale for over a month. I called and scheduled an appointment, at least they told me I did, but then told me to submit my request online. A day or so later they responded with a different date and time a a couple of weeks later. When I called, they didnt have any record of the initial agreed upon date and time. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let it go. I had a major scheduling conflict come up and had to rescheduled almost two weeks in advance, again, on the phone. Before the rescheduled appointment I paid a $100 deposit online. Then they email me back saying that they didnt have any record of an upcoming appointment.Im a veteran trying to get a branch related tattoo. They knew this. Did 11 years active service. They dont seem to care about vets as far as I can tell. They did reimburse my money but Ill be taking my business elsewhere. They may have great artists, but the business side of things is very poorly run. I feel bad for the artists. Sorry Dale, if you ever go to a different shop, Ill happily go there.

Amanda did an amazing job on a large knee tattoo on me! Very clean, professional staff, extremely talented artists, nice quiet location. Highly recommend!

My mom and I got matching tattoos for my birthday!! I highly recommend Dale! His work is amazing!!

Clean shop, professional artist, incredible work. Highly recommend if you are looking to get a tattoo

My mom and I are so happy with our tattoos and experience! Could not ask for a better shop. Clean, inviting, super-friendly staff, and so accommodating. Cant wait for my next appt with Jessie!

I have gotten almost all my piercings here by Butch and he is the absolute best! Definitely would recommend him!

Amazing shop and amazing talented artists ♡ Ernest has always done a kickass job on all my piercings! Love it. Also have a wonderful variety of jewelry to choose from. :)

Great atmosphere! James did a fabulous job walking me through my first tattoo! He deserves a definete tip!!

Abby did a wonderful job on Ambers tattoo! I would highly recommend Studio 85 for your next tattoo. Very talented artists.

Abby was great and she did a great job with my tattoo! Im very happy with it!

One of the best tattoo shops in Ohio.

My friend had a cover up tattoo done here in the last 8 weeks. Her previous tattoo artist had died and she felt badly about the allergic reaction she had to some red ink he had used. This studio was able to cover up the original with a design that made her happy and placed it so well that you can never tell there was anything else there. Im going to get some script on my chest there soon because she was so incredibly happy with the work done and it meant so much to her to have the original one corrected. Thank you, Studio 85 Tattoo for making Jennys week!

Just had my daith pirced there. This is a clean environment would recommend it to others Butch did a amazing job.!

Never been here. Was looking into getting a tattoo. Looked it up. Saw great reviews. But I absolutely was appalled at the response from the To ONE negative review. Instead if letting it go, or being polite, the owner RIPS into it, into a long winded speech, then follows up by a summary of what he just said. It was overboard. If the owner chose to respond, he could have done so in a much much much MUCH more professional manner.

Always friendly, amazing artists, and always clean/comfortable environment! I have one piece done by Dale and already have an appointment for another one!

Clean shop, very professional, artist Dale did an amazing job with my tattoo. Im beyond pleased with my experience at studio 85 and would highly recommend.

Abby was very kind and helpful when choosing size and color of my tattoo. Very friendly atmosphere.

Amanda was so welcoming and did such a great job! She was super attentive to what I wanted and I loved the overall feeling of this place . Will definitely be returning!

LOVE the folks at Studio 85! Great vibe.... beautiful work. Im super happy with my fine lined ring Tattoo!

James is a great Tattoo Artist.....💙

This place is clean and they did my nose piercing well. They were also informative on how to care for it.

The artist here are professional and amazing. Dale is crazy good, hella clean lines.

Great artwork, amazing artist. I live in Cinci metro and make the 45 minute drive. Highly, highly recommend.

Clean shop from what I could see in the waiting area. Customer service is good. But overall poor communication between customer and artist. I say this because I made the appointment three months out and didnt hear anything from the artist til the day prior. So because I had not seen anything yet, I felt that my idea was most likely not translated correctly because it wasnt drawed up till three days prior. Which leads me to believe that the pictures I gave to them were just layed on top of one another. So most likely no creativity. The deposit is extremely high for any shop Ive been too. They require a $150.00 deposit compared to most places that only require $50.00 at most. If you feel this place is right for you then go for it. But my advice to anyone else looking to get work done, go look at other places first and compare deposit fees and the wait time.Obviously the owner does not know what the word combative means. I have merely stated an opinion about my experience with this studio. But now Im going to into the whole experience what little there was since the review I gave got met with finger pointing.So the first time I showed up to studio 85 after seeing work and it coming highly recommend was good. Again, Ill state clean shop and nice staff. I was told I need a consultation in order to get tattooed. No worries, I was asked if I had a preference, I said no. So I was given an artist and came a couple of weeks later to for the meet and greet.Heres now where the problem begins. The so called consultation was just me saying I want a tattoo and when was the best time for the artist to squeeze me in. Asked about my idea and after I gave it to him, he didnt look to confident and said he would try. All this took about 10 minutes. Not much of a consultation. And if he wasnt feeling to excited about he could have down more during it with his computer and got an overall picture of what I wanted, but he didnt.So, then I had to go home email the shop my idea, not the artist, so he knew what exactly what I was looking at getting. Now after three months and only 48hrs before the appointment I had no communication with the shop or the artist. Even tho I asked the email to the artist to contact me when it was done so we could go over it and make any changes if needed. That never happened.Now the day prior I decide cancelled because of this issue because it was going to be such a large piece. The artist was sick the day off so they were willing to reschedule. No mention of getting together with the artist to due any changes or just to see if I would like his design.After, rescheduling and then thinking about I just figured it was going to go the same way as before. So I just cancelled all future points. Tho I was advised I would lose the money, I was okay with it even tho thats just BS since nothing was lost or gained. Even as the shop bagged me to keep the appointments.Just as a customer beware of this place because of the booking issues and the amount of time it takes to get it. If anything changes and you do decide to cancel theyre going to take your money and not give any options of getting a new artist. They point fingers at you and not at their poor communication and lack of managing the clients better for the artist.My rating will stay the same. Nothing against the shop other than poor communication and most likely a lack of creativity in the work.
