This is the hidden gem of tattoo shops in Cincinnati. Anyone who is looking to get work done needs to see Mark Bentley. There ain’t nothing this man can do. I’ve been getting tattooed for over 40 years and he brought a new and exciting way of the artwork all the way to colors and new techniques that I had not ever seen which makes it a truly different experience when it comes to his skill and talent. Go see Mark Bentley at Tattoo Makers and you will not regret it!!!!!
Caveat: Sean IV has been a close friend of mine for ~32 years. Be that as it may, the man is an artist. He runs a sqeaky clean shop. His tattoo work is guaranteed. The tattoos themselves are high quality, with intense color and fantastic linework. Hes been in practice for about 25 years, and it shows.He demonstrates integrity with artwork, as well as with clients. There will be no poaching, no reproductions, no underage clients, and no alt-right images created. He is friendly and flexible with hours. He is not cheap, but he is worth every penny he charges. He does original work, will discuss your ideas with you, and can do cover-ups. He is also friendly and full of stories. Go see Sean @ Tattoo Makers!
My friend and I both got a tattoo done by Sean and I can’t say enough how good of an experience it was! The whole shop is decorated nicely and you can tell a lot of love has been put into the building and creating a cool atmosphere. Not only that but I can’t stress enough how CLEAN this place was. The place was spotless. Sean was very upfront about the sterilization process of the equipment, was constantly changing gloves, and making sure there was no cross contamination between us when doing our tattoos. He made sure everything was as clean and safe as it could be. It was clear this was something he was passionate about which is amazing because why wouldn’t you want your tattoo artist to be clean lol. The tattoos were done with a lot of care and the quality was amazing. From printing the design and stencil, his line work, and even explaining the aftercare for the tattoo he took his time and was very thorough. He even took pictures of the finished tattoos for us afterwords, helped us pose and everything haha. He has a lot of experience and is very good at what he does! He also is really friendly and was very easy to talk to. Overall just a super cool guy and very talented, we definitely lucked out stumbling across Sean and his shop!
Mark and Sean are amazing tattoo artists! Im proud to say that Im a repeat customer. First and foremost, the atmosphere is laid-back, but still professional. Their shop is always clean and well maintained. Their art is amazing, and I feel a high level of trust knowing that my tattoo is going to come out looking great. They care a great deal about the health and healing process of their customers. I definitely recommend coming here if you want a tattoo artist that ensures youre satisfied with your tattoo.
Have two pieces from Sean that Im beyond ecstatic about. Highly recommend
I got two tattoos done at this shop years ago, both by Sean and he is amazing! I seriously get daily compliments on my sunflowers that he did and how the colors are still popping 6 years later. My sister even flew in from a different state and Sean got her in and did a colorful mandala on her. The shop is clean, professional and comfortable. I had a really great experience both times and definitely the only reason I will ever visit Ohio again is to come here to see Sean and get tattooed by him. All around a great atmosphere and awesome quality. I will forever recommend this shop to all friends!
Had a great experience! Tattoo shop is cool, clean and welcoming. The tattoo artist Mark who did my tattoo was fabulous! He is professional, has a soft touch, and is an all around great artist! I will go no where else but this shop for a tattoo. I highly recommend this shop!!
My friend and I were looking to get some work done on the account that it was a birthday type of gift for me. We called quite a few places yesterday looking to get some work done but unfortunately could not get in. (Most artists are still dealing with scheduling issues and getting those appointments rescheduled that were scheduled before the shut downs due to COVID in and done right now, and getting work done as a walk in during these times is tough, But understandable.) Mark was such a nice Dude! Quiet, but super nice! He was very fair with us on the prices of our tattoos and they looked great when he was finished. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience we had with Mark and the work he put on us at this shop and will most likely return for future pieces. 😊
These guys are great. They know how to fix mistakes, create and make the best art. They have done my thigh and my ass. No puns intended. Cool people, very chill, and they will not let you get a bad tattoo. If you need to simply ask a question just stop in and they will help you to the best of their abilities. This is coming from another business owner, they are very professional.
I wanted to mention that I went to Tattoo Makers for my new tattoo just on the ball & It was the one I have been wanting for a while. Well, he did a terrific job. It was my Music Note Heart Tattoo!! Ill throw in a Pic soon!! My hubby needs help from his broke foot!!
Have had my share of tattoo “artist“ in the Cincinnati area , Mark @ Tattoo Markers has made my top 10 !Very clean & professional! I have been getting compliments of my new art work since I left the building 😊! Thank you Mark , will be seeing you again really soon 🤍.
I had an appointment with Mark today he tattooed exactly what I wanted it turned out amazing and I highly recommend tattoo makers to anybody that wants a tattoo.They were very professional the shop was very clean and everybody there seem to be down to earth great people I would definitely come back again for some more amazing tattoo work
As soon as you enter this studio you get a comfortable, inviting vibe as the atmosphere is clean and professional with Joel and Sean at the ready to walk you through your design. Although the selection of flash for inspiration is awesome vintage fare dont sell yourself short by not asking Sean for a custom piece. I plan to get a lot more work done by him.
I walked into Seans shop with a three dimensional object in hand and walked out with a gorgeous back piece. If Im out and about in a shirt that shows off some or all of it, I invariably get compliments. Even my 85-year-old grandmother likes it. The shop is pristine, Sean and Joel are the perfect mix of professional and congenial, and the after-care instructions Sean gives are perfect. I do not intend to stay in Cincinnati for very long, but I do intend to return whenever Im itching for new ink; I cannot imagine getting work done by anybody but Sean.
At 50 plus I got a tatoo.... couldnt go with something small. Ended up taking 3 hours in the chair for a VW emblem with wings that reach shoulder to shoulder. Love the colors and attention to detail that was given
Mark definitely has a customer for life, his work is stellar and he’s very fair. Super down to earth dude and very nice. The shop is always clean and always looks very well prepared.
An extremely clean and comfortable shop. Ive spent tons of time in tattoo shops and this stands out as one of the best. My piece has drawn many compliments and i catch people looking at it while we are talking. Big thumbs up.
Mark was so awesome and did amazing with my tattoo.
Did an amazing job on my tattoo and the price was more than fair! It healed beautifully and will be returning for future work! Thank you so much!
I had my first one done here & it was such a nice experience for a first tattoo. I loved the shop & Sean was great!
Sean and Joel are awesome. I love going to them when Im home for more tattoos and recommend them to anyone in the area. Thanks guys!
