American Tattoo Studios

I was vacationing in Cleveland from out of state, and I had initially chickened out of getting my first tattoo before I arrived after I’d been planning it for weeks. But, during the vacation, I changed my mind and was hopeful for a walk-in service nearby — the tattoo I wanted was a replica of a simple comic panel, so I figured it’d be easy enough to do in a walk-in.I arrived early in the day, and met Clay. They were all booked up for the moment, but Clay asked to check out my idea and placement, and offered to have me later in the afternoon. I came back at the time we talked about, and he got me in right away. I was thrilled.Overall, the shop is very clean and neat, and everyone inside is very kind. Clay did a great job at helping me relax and explaining the process, the rate of my walk-in was fair, and I am very pleased with the final product. Would definitely recommend.

Kevin and his team are top-notch. Ive been coming here for a few years now and I always have the best experience. Not only is Kevin INSANELY talented but incredibly kind and personable too! I went through nearly a dozen artists trying to find one I clicked with and Im so happy that search led me here! This is my ride or die tattoo shop and Ill be coming here for the rest of my life, even if that requires a flight. If youre looking for a team with grade A knowledge, talent, and personalities then look no further.

Kevin is an AMAZING artist and extremely kind. After originally going in for an appointment with Byrd. We sat waiting for her for an hour, only for her to show up and say that she doesnt have an appointment today. She put it in as two different appointment days and times. Kevin stepped up and got us our tattoos designed and done on us in 3 hours. Kevin is incredibly kind, easy. To talk to and does beautiful work. I HIGHLY recommend Kevin to anyone.

Clay is awesome. He gave me my first tattoo, so I wasnt sure what I was doing, but he sorted me out and helped me figure out exactly what I want. I love the tattoo and Ive gotten tons of compliments.

Cole was an excellent tattoo artist who helped my drawing come to life. My husband and I wanted to get matching tattoos when we got married, and Cole was able to take my drawing and recreate it onto us. He was fun and easy to work with. The studio was clean and professional. Would absolutely recommend Cole! It did take about 3 months to get booked, but worth the wait!

I love my tattoo sooo much. My artist, David, was extremely kind, patient, and flexible with me. It was my first big piece and he got it done very quickly. His art is absolutely beautiful and i couldnt have asked for anything better. The studio was very clean and the rest of the staff were very nice and professional. Will definitely come here again!

Not a safe place for women or neurodivergent people. They will pretend to be friendly but they only really care about taking your money. They overcharge for a shop that is going downhill.Also notice that this is one of the only reviews they dont respond to because they know that its true. That they are fake and are not willing to admit it.

I came in for a cover up done by Allie and the tattoo came out great. Couldn’t tell what it was before and she was nothing but professional and kind. Highly recommend and cool shop in general.

Absolutely blown away by the work I had done with Shawna yesterday! I showed up late due to traffic, yet she was kind, understanding, and got right to work when I showed up. The design is entirely hers, I just gave her vague concepts and she made them come to life! The tattoo wasnt finished by the time the shop closed, so she stayed an extra 30 minutes just to finish the design and wrap it up safely for me. Shes extremely professional and a phenomenal artist! Im coming back once this heals to add on to it, and I will most likely be back to this shop for my future tattoos! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a gorgeous (and affordable!!!) tattoo.

Edit: Steve took an idea I had from my sons toy and brought it to life! So many compliments thank you thank you!!!Edit: I was in Monday and once again was not disappointed. I came in with an idea to add to a previous tattoo ( also done here s/o to Britney). James brought it to life! Ive gotten nothing but complemints on the attention to detail and the super clean lines! Thanks!!I have had several tattoos done here all were spur of the moment. They turned out amazing. As I write this review Im contemplating going in for another spur of the moment one. 💙 love you guys. Hope to see you soon!!

Came here to get my first tattoo. It was a good experience. Mike was my artist and he was very cool. He was very helpful for a first experience. I called about 3pm wanting a tattoo the same day. In the afternoon and he was able to get me in about 6:30 for a simple tattoo. No consultation. And, I’m in love with it.

Walked in and was happily taken care of with a fine line tattoos from Kevin. Shop was clean and service was great. If you are ever in Cleveland and looking to get a tattoo, I would steer you to American Tattoo Studios!

Byrd was very nice about the scheduling,forms,payment,and the actual tattooing process. She stayed well after close to finish this and was very enthusiastic the whole time. I’ve also been here for a tattoo from Kevin, which was my first one and I greatly appreciated his understanding,professionalism,and answering all the random questions I had about what he does for a living.I would recommend this shop to many people forever; very well worth it.

My best friend and I decided to celebrate our almost 40 year friendship with a tattoo of the flowers from our birth month. David was our artist and his line work is amazing. I am so happy with how delicate he made the piece look. He was really nice and laid back, gave us advice on what colors to use and he was spot on. I could not have asked for a more beautiful tattoo. We were also walk-ins and they were able to accommodate us right away. I will most definitely be coming back for another. This shop is perfect.

This place is amazing. The entire staff is so professional and friendly!! I had a consultation for a new tattoo in December with Bullyjey he was so knowledgeable and friendly. My appointment for my tattoo was cancelled due to the pandemic, but has been rescheduled. The studio was so professional and accommodating about getting me rescheduled.I also had the pleasure of receiving some ear piercings from Devon, let me tell you she is amazing!! She was so quick and painless, she really made the whole experience so relaxing!! I will definitely continue to see her for all my piercing needs!!

Cole is amazing! He did a great job with my tattoo!! Ive gotten lots of compliments already!

James was awesome! Very professional, friendly and definitely listened to good music. I felt at home, away from home. Im from Kentucky and took a trip to Ohio. Highly recommend. Best tattoo Ive ever got. Will stop in again when Im back in Ohio. Thanks man 😊😊😊

Kevin was the kindest tattoo artist Ive ever been to!!! Making sure I was doing OK the whole time and letting me take breaks. Not to mention he did an amazing job on my tattoo! Would absolutely recommend.

I had an appointment with Olivia for fine line work earlier this week. She was a quick with communication, and so friendly in person. She walked me through the whole process and was super gentle with tattooing. The shop itself was clean and professional! I can’t wait to come back and get more work done in the future. It was an overall fantastic experience, and would recommend this shop to everyone!

Went here in the spur of the moment with my sister. got a second nose piercing by Devon and my experience was AMAZING. i usually trust my usual piercer but since he’s no longer in the state i decided to find a new one and let me tell you, she’s GREAT. welcoming, friendly, clean and thorough with her process.

Cole crawford is an incredibly talented artist with impressive experience working with some of the best. he is well known in the industry and i am grateful for him. incredibly talented artist, easy to work with, clear communication, great conversation, an intelligent dude that i trust and feel good about recommending.

I just got a tattoo from Brittany @ American Tattoo and I couldnt be more happy. When I arrived she had several design options worked up for me to choose from. She was very open and accommodating to combining elements from different designs until we came up with one that I was happy with. Her application was so gentle that I barely felt it, virtually painless compared to tattoos Ive gotten in the past. Highly recommended!

I’ve had both tattoos and piercings done at this studio! I love it there! The staff is kind, helpful, knowledgeable and clearly cares about their clients. I keep coming back for a reason. The facility is clean, and they all handle themselves in a very professional manner.& If you have questions ask them!!! They will answer any and all you have. They want you to enjoy your experience, be comfortable with them and love your (body altering) piece of art!!

I went to The American Tattoo Company for my first tattoo. Beginning to end the entire experience was phenomenal. From the initial consultation, Bully was receptive to my ideas and was very helpful in suggesting ways to translate them into tattoo form. Day of the tattoo, he was very thorough and great to chat with without having to force conversation during the 2/2.5 hour session. The other artists work looked great and Bullys B&W art was similar to what I was looking for in mine. Clean shop, clean rooms, great staff. All in all a fantastic first tattoo experience from beginning to end. Would highly recommend!

Kevin at American Tattoo was amazing. He was so kind and engaging, as it seems all the employees are. My tattoo was so special to me and he made it perfect. I’m so lucky I found this place.Also if you’re worried about post-quarantine cleanliness, this is the place to go. They are very thorough- taking temperatures, everyone wearing masks and gloves, sanitizer everywhere. This company really is going above and beyond. Thanks again, Kevin.-Julia

David was a great tattoo artist. Not only on time, but went over all of the options before starting with me, and advised me seeing I hadn’t ate in 5 hours to grab some stuff from the corner store while he prepped. Got right to it and was very professional and careful the whole time. Not once asked for a break through out the whole 5.5 hours of tattooing, however I DEFINITELY needed a break and those times would be the only time he’d get up and stretch his legs. Very, very pleased with the finished product and will be returning again.

Great place! Top notch artists, James Patterson did an unbelievable job on my tattoo!

I got my first tattoo here recently with Olivia. She was PERFECT for a nervous first timer, she explained all the steps and was very patient with me. The tattoo is incredibly well done, it is very delicate and unique, done in the fine line style. I would recommend this tattoo shop and artist for anyone & everyone!

What a fantastic experience! I walked in asking for a full bicep armband and Brittany and her team more than delivered. Their shop is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. This studio has set the bar for my expectations. Great job !

I was a walk in client and the experience was amazing. James was very patient and kind helping me figure out my tatoo (which I love ) and Brittany pierced me and my friend, she was very nice and understanding. Overall, everyone that worked there was awesome and I am very glad we found this place. Would recommend to anyone.

If you are looking for some fine line work, go see Olivia! She was very easy to communicate with and create a design with. She was very professional, walking me through every step of the process, as well as super gentle. I can not recommend her enough! The shop itself was very clean, and all of the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back!

Best place to get pierced! I have had eight of my piercings done here by Devon and have never been disappointed. She is organized, clean and so nice and funny! I won’t ever go to another person to pierce me, Devon is seriously THE BEST!

!!!!! Devon!!!!!! I met her right before quarantine and got my nose pierced! Super friendly, funny, and cool af. We became instant friends;) Fast forward to today, I got 4 more piercings with Devon!! I love her energy I’d recommend her definitely, don’t wait go see my girl!!!!! You won’t regret it 🤩

Despite living 400+ miles away, Ive had the pleasure to be tattooed at this shop on two separate occasions and would without a doubt come back again. The artists that Ive worked with (James & Kevin) were very professional, and the overall atmosphere of the shop was great.

Got a walk-in nose piercing with Devon. Soreness and redness completely disappeared after 3 days. She was also really funny and super accommodating to my needs. I faint really easily so she kept an eye on me and let me lay down for a while after the piercing. We also changed the position of the piercing a couple of times with no problems (I ended up going with her initial instinct). Overall, would recommend and come back for any future piercing.

Devon did an amazing job with my piercing, super professional, made me feel comfortable would definitely go to her again! James also does amazing tattoo work went here for my first tattoo and he was super patient with me, even though I was not very good at sitting still.

Devon did fantastic work on my piercing. She’s both personable and professional with an excellent eye for placement and truly skilled execution. On top of that, it’s a clean, organized and well managed shop. It’s a great choice.

This place is amazing. I had a custom tattoo drawn up by Steve (in an impressive amount of time) and came back the next day to get it done. I felt dizzy part way through, and was brought water, peanuts, gummy bears, and a wet paper towel by the staff there. Steve is super friendly and was talkative with me and my dad and it helped distract me. The tattoo looks AMAZING, better than I couldve expected, and the healing process took no time at all. It didnt even hurt just a few hours later. Plus, the prices are very reasonable! Im definitely coming back here for more tattoos.

I have been tattooed here multiple times by Erin and Kevin and all experiences have been wonderful! A clean, welcoming, safe environment that cares about your comfort from the moment you walk through the door.

I came in as a walk in on the weekend with a good idea of what I wanted. Wayne was happy to help and offered some good suggestions. He drew up a more refined version and we got to work. He was quick, cool, and very good. The tattoo healed really fast and wasnt even red the day after which is surprising. I would highly recommend and will probably go back for another one sometime soon.

Five stars is not enough. I dont write reviews Im not a plant. This studio is professional clean safe and accommodating. From my initial contact with Devon to the great work Kevin did for me I was referred here and would absolutely send anyone to have work done. Great job to you all

We discovered this shop last year when someone on our facebook posted the in-progress work of a piece they were having done there. My boyfriend and I both really loved the style and the quality of work, and thought it suited the next pieces we had in mind. This was absolutely the right choice for us. Bully, who has now done collectively 4-5 pieces on us since then is a true professional and an amazing artist. He is totally dedicated to his craft and takes his work seriously as evidenced in the quality of his tattoos, the tidy condition of his shop, and the caliber of his employees. All of our tattoos have been done with care and enthusiasm. I have had only positive experiences there and I love all the work Ive had done. If you are looking for a shop with outstanding artists, comfortable conditions and none of the tattoo elitism Ive come to expect from a lot of other shops in the Cleveland area then I cannot recommend this place enough.

Brittany is awesome. No ink, but she pierced my hood, nips and did an inverse belly button piercing for me. Very professional and personable. An absolute sweetheart, will definitely be going back to her. The whole staff is awesome!

Can’t enough good things about this place and Olivia!!! Wonderful work in a delicate style that looks too good to believe. She’s so light handed and laid back I was actually relaxed getting a tattoo! Very fair rates and friendly staff. I mentioned getting a second tattoo and was schedule with another artist who already had ideas for the piece. Go here!!! You won’t be disappointed!

My son and I had our first tattoo experience and it couldnt have been better! Friendly , professional, clean, knowledgeable, informative - after doing research and hearing from other customers, glad I went with The American Tattoo Company for our first tattoos - Artists were very creative and made my tattoo better than the picture I wanted! Will be going back for my 2nd soon! :) 5 STARS!!!!

Very clean shop with a welcoming atmosphere. Priced fair and competitive. Ive only used one artist, James, so I can only speak for his art. He did a large cover up on my shoulder. He actually made the original piece look like part of the gray shading of the new piece so its hardly noticable. As a matter of fact, unless I tell people that its a cover up, its not noticable at all! His lines were incredibly straight and it looks like it is drawn on my shoulder with a sharpie marker. Im extremely happy with his work and so is my wife (she uses James at American Tattoo also). Ive seen large and small tattoos come out of the other booths (done by other artists) and some really nice work comes out of that shop. Ill never go anywhere else again! Ive included the before and after pictures. Im very pleased and proud of the finished product! I highly recommend American Tattoo and am looking forward to seeing them again!

I was reffered here by a friend, being a tattoo virgin I was a little unsure about how the experience would go. I wanted to do a tasteful tribute to my Dad who had just passed earlier in the month. I had his signature and Brittney added the Date of his death for me. I was very pleased and will definitely be returning for my next.Also I was treated to a very colorful and entertaining conversation from the staff while I was waiting my turn.... a+++. Keep it up. Thanks for making my Dads memory stay alive!!! ✌️

I called this place for a second opinion on a piercing I just got. For a backstory I used to come to this place to get piercings before when I lived in Cleveland so I trust them which is why i called for the second opinion. Im in Georgia right now so I think it was GREAT customer service that even though Im not there Devon went above and beyond to help me with a piercing that I just got. She was very nice. And since I couldnt come there physically she suggested that I send her pics of my piercing via Instagram so she could better help. Which I am grateful for. Even though this may seem small it was very big to me. As she answered all of my questions and even suggested products I should use for my conch piercing. Once again I am thankful. Thanks Devon!!! Your awesome 😁

Ive gone to both Devon and Brittany here.Brittany did a nose peircing for me then a nipple for my roommate. Honestly, she is so much fun and calms you down as you get the piercing.Devon is so funny! I got another peircing from her. Super professional, clean and fun to be around!Recently, I got a tattoo from Brittany - AMAZING. Absolutely stunning work. She listening to me ramble and talk about my life for 2.5 hours, which is no easy feat (hahah)! She keeps the process entertaining and reasonably priced. You can feel her passion as she tattoos - the idea was mine, the art is hers. She takes pride in what she does as well as making sure the client is satisfied. She communicates her ideas well. More over, this was actually a fun experience! Would go back just to hang out.

I’ve been getting tattooed here since I was 18, and every single time they have knocked it out of the park and then some. I’ve mainly worked with James and BullyJey but I’ve worked with everyone in the shop and each and every one of them do phenomenal work and provide an extremely enjoyable environment. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. They are absolutely the best.

Im from Texas and was visiting friends. Decided that Id like to add to my collection with one from Cleveland. I walked in and provided the design and they were able to fit me in. They were very professional and clean, and were able to fit me in immediately.Im very pleased with my tattoo and would recommend them to anyone looking for a very well done tattoo from some very professional artists.

Brittany did my tattoo and my husbands. She was very nice to us (my tattoo was 2 hours long so she had to put up with us haha). The tattoos we got we phenomenal. Definitely will be going back to her. 10 out of 10!

I payed for my nephew to have a tattoo AMAZING! They did 7 more tattoos! no such thing as a touch up on any of them. My nephew was very very picky and could not believe NOT one touch up! I believe he had 3 different artists doing them! The prices are very fair! They are VERY professional! They are strictly about doing the tattoos and feeling very comfortable. We live 1/4 of a mile from here . We walked in off the streets blind sided they even have profolios of all the artists work right there! So he was able to pick which artist by being able to see their work! If you live in the area take a walk or drive up there! they have SEVERAL books of their work! You will be IMPRESSED! again SEVEN tattoos ZERO touch ups!

Got my nose pierced with Devin and it was such a great experience! Shes mad cool and funny and really helped me to feel comfortable with my first piercing as an adult (ears done during infancy). She also makes herself available to ask any questions you may have well after youre pierced. Highly recommend her as a piercer! Check out her instagram @theganggetspierced to see her work!

I have been going to Jay for years and have always been happy with his work. I just had Dave do a peace on me today and it turned out great. This place dose amazing work and has great prices. Hands down best shop in the area. Stop up and check it out you wont regret it. Great laid back place with chill dudes.

Charged $190 for a literal three minute tattoo they told me could not be smaller, it was the size of a half dollar and a few simple lines. my friend got another for $260 for a literal 4 minute tattoo. Did not have any change other, so had to tip more. Did not tell price or minimum until afterwards. charged $250 for someone who was there for 4.5 hours.

Exceptional work done by truly skilled artists. My half-sleeve done by Jey is complimented on nearly a daily basis by total strangers. The friendly, relaxed demeanor makes the experience a blast for repeat customers and a great place for new clients (or those new to tattooing in general) to enjoy themselves while the work is done at prices that cant be beaten. Ive already recommended the shop to numerous friends in real life, and cant wait for my next visit.

So my family members and I called this shop and asked to get some simple tattoos and piercings and were told to come in as walk ins, that there was no need for an appointment. We walked in today and not only did they not have availability, they were extremely rude, barely speaking to us. It was like pulling teeth to get one of the artists to even look at the piece we wanted done. I get we weren’t asking for sleeves, but money is money. This dude left 3 tattoos, 3 piercings, and a hell of a lot of tip money on the table (we make sure to take great care of our artists). I would suggest avoiding this shop, it has a bad vibe and atrocious customer service.

I have been going here for years! Love the staff and the owner Bully is an awesome guy and an amazing tattoo artist. Everyone there is friendly and super talented, they make you feel relaxed and right at home. You will not be disappointed!

Walked in for nostril piercings with my sister and a friend a few days ago- Devon was great, super professional, personable, and efficient. Also got a Friday the 13th flash piece from Steve a few months back which was just as good of an experience. Will definately be back and always recommend to friends

A close friend of mine has been coming here for all of her piercings and tattoos. So I had mentioned to her that I wanted my industrial done and after being told by another place I was unable to due to having too small of ears. We went in to get her a piercing and mentioned it to Devon and Devon informed time that I could actually. I got it done and she’s been amazing. I can contact her thru instagram with whatever questions I have about my industrial or any other piercings questions I have. I also recently just went back to get a cover up done. I went somewhere else and absolutely hated my tattoo. But now I absolutely love my tattoo that Billy Jey did. I will defiantly be back.

I got my first piercing this past weekend by Brittney. She and entire staff are very kind.They sense my nerves but we’re patient with me and my friends. They are kind of expensive but I believe you get what you pay for and my friends and I haven’t been experiencing any problems with our tattoos or piercings so I most likely will be returning.

This place has to be the best tattoo shop in the northeast Ohio area! Everyone is amazing, the employees are fun and easy to talk to and their always willing to answer questions even the crazy questions. This place will always be my go-to place for piercings and tattoos. Keep up the great work guys!

Great work my wife and I got done. Would be 5 stars but at the end we were left a sour taste in our mouth. We were quoted at $200 each tattoo for about 2 hours of work. My wife’s tattoo took 1 1/2 hours and mine took 2 1/2 hours, there fore you would say $200 for wife’s and $250 for mine, yet I guess a half hour is bumped up to a full hour as mine was charged $300. We were going to leave fat tips for both if we weren’t finagled at the end. Still was great work and will return but hopefully it’s not the norm for them to take advantage of first time customers by up charging. Regardless, Thanks guys!Update: decided to up it to 5 stars because regardless, the work was damn good and artists were friendly.

David did such an amazing tattoo for me! Its been almost 6 years since I had work done and I will definitely go back to American Tattoo Studios for my next piece! Great people and amazing talent! Thanks again David!!

Had my tattoo with David today and omg how impressed I am!!!! I am so in love with my tattoo and already booked another apt with him he is amazing cant wait to see how many more ideas we can come up with together!!!! Deff take a sec check out the shop and the people and know your making a good choice in shops in the area!!!! See you next week David thank you again.

I loved this place so much. Walked in on a Saturday morning with a friend and each got a tattoo and I got a dermal redone. The guys were both so nice and down to earth. We both felt so comfortable there and will definitely be going back! Highly recommend this place and oh ya the tattoos look amazing/perfect.

Devon is by far the best piercer ever ! She made the experience and environment comfortable for me to get my piercing in and just loved her attitude! Surely will be coming back for more 🙂

You can get good tattoos or you can get cheap...never both. Bully as well as the other artists in his shop are top of the line. You will never leave unhappy or disappointed in your chosen piece. I have had several done here and could never imagine anyone else doing the work Bully did.

I scheduled with Olivia and had an amazing experience. She was quick with communication, super helpful, talented and did a beautiful job. The shop did an impressive job with covid precautions as well!!

After going to three other shops looking for a challenging cover up, I stumbled across this place. It was very clean, professional, and an awesome space. Bully does AMAZING work and is hilarious. He put together a sweet cover and Ill definitely be back.

AMAZING!!!! DAVID VODICKA did an amazing job on our tattoos. Using his own talents and eye for color and depth, he created 2 fantastic tattoos for my daughter and I. Thank you David. We couldnt Bee happier 🤗

Had a small semi colon in white on my left wrist. The tattoo never healed correctly, hurt for a few weeks, continues to be red around the edges, and was a waste of $60 especially when I had friends get tattoos much larger for the same price. Its an embarrassing blob to have on my wrist so... 4 months later, Getting it removed. I didnt enjoy my experience at American Tattoo. Went elsewhere for a different tattoo and was extremely happy with the experience.

Absolutely amazing space, artists, and most of all phenomenal work!!! Jeremiah aka Bully was Outstanding when it came to what I wanted, and gave me even better result!!! Im so pleased, excited, amazed, and touched by his work, I recommend him and this place to anyone whos looking for unbelievable work!!!! I will be back!!!

This place is clean as can be and all so friendly!! Devon pierced my nostril and I love it so much and it was the best pierce Ive had since the other two closed so quick. I will def be coming back for more! I highly recommend them

Came here with my friend as walk-ins so I understand that the experience took a bit longer however the issue was that we wanted very small tattoos and when we showed pictures to the artist she said that the shop minimum was $100, so we agreed and later on when my friend was done with hers and checking out the artist said the total was actually $215 for a tattoo that is three words across her wrist that took maybe 5 minutes…

Everyone here at this shop is so amazing and nice. the shop is very clean as well. i’ve had 2 tattoos done by Brittney and just got pierced by Devon. i won’t be going anywhere else for piercings or tattoos. i fully trust this shop!

Look no further, you won’t find a better shop with so many female powerhouses in one place . I went to Devon to get my nipples pierced and she more than exceeded my expectations . The shop is clean and well kept and the people are fantastic you won’t be sorry I promise thanks for the experience customer for life right here.

Went to see Bully for a cover up on my back below my neck. Told him some themes I wanted and he said to give him a week to come up w some renderings. Bully hit what I was looking for on the head and did a crazy amazing job w the tat. Cannot wait to com back to American tattoo company. Amazing people that do amazing work. See bully, you will not be disappointed!!!

Bully is a wonderful artist. He did both mine and my wifes memorial pieces and absolutely nailed them. Great work, we will keep our business with The American Tattoo Company!

Absolutely the best tattoo shop in the Cleveland area! The shop is clean and the staff are pleasant. If you want your tattoo (s) and piercings done right the first time then dont hesitate to go to The American Tattoo Company.

Im so happy and so inspired by the beauty of their work, the price and the experience as a whole, I will definitely be returning!! After a year of brainstorming ideas of a tattoo, I just stopped in the other day and its like they were just there waiting on me to show up. I had been toying with ideas of touching up and adding a small addition to a 12 year old tattoo. I finally had what I considered a brilliant idea. It was simply the closest tattoo shop to me, Ive driven by it 100 times, so I just walked in and met their artist James Patterson. He and I talked about my idea at length, he was in no hurry, he took this very seriously. He got on the computer and I showed him some of the images and information that were inspiring my ideas. He gave his professional opinion, thoroughly explained what would be physically possibly. and discussed the artistic and conceptual aspects of breaking out what I wanted to incorporate into my old tattoo and making it a separate, larger tattoo above my old one. He also offered ideas of connecting the two tats through shapes, position, size, and by touching up the old one--which now looks brand new--and incorporating the same color pallet into both images. Im a know-it-all and a perfectionist and I was hesitant to take suggestions, but I just had a good feeling this guy got it. I have learned from this experience you must trust these people. These are truly professional artists. I want to write a book about what this tattoo means to me. Considering the symbolism and concept, which James totally got into, I probably could! And believe me, 5 stars does not mean expensive. This isnt just an amazing brand new tattoo and a complete rework of my old tattoo, it is the most affordable tattoo Ive gotten in 30 years. If youre thinking of getting a new tattoo,, or a touch-up or a cover up of an old tattoo (in my case all three in one) just please stop in and talk to them. You will not regret it.

Unbelievably fortunate to have found Bully and his shop. What started in my head as an idea Bully has transformed into a ridiculously awesome sleeve in just a few months. Every part of the process from consult to application is a fantastic experience. You need to go see these folks if you are in the market for a custom piece.

Stopped in first thing this morning(December 16, 2016), and was immediately greeted by a wonderful staff who were happy to assist me. Place was beyond professional and clean in every sense of the word. Great prices. Better tattoos. Will make sure next time Im in Cleveland to stop back in.

Buyer beware! Makesure you have at least half a day to spend and are fine with a new artist ripping your body open to the point of scarring. Enough said....****UPDATE****I was contacted by the owner of American Tattoo Studio (Bully Jey) with great concern about the experience I had. He asked me to send a few photos to see if things could be fixed. He made himself available to do the need work on the house. The reworked artwork came out amazing and I as well as my wife will be going back to American Tattoo Studio for more artwork. Thank you!

Not sure about quality of tatts but I seem to recall more affordable pricing on small colored ones and for one piercing. I have been to Body Revolution though as well for piercing so I could be mistaken on pricing. $20 got me a good belly ring, jewelry included and a daith(4 migraine)...both extremely sanitary, done carefully and quickly 👍 I want to return for a repeirce.

I just got my tattoo at this place and everything was stellar. From the setting, to the reception and the artist I felt great throughout. I got mine with David who did a great job, both with the lineart and the shading!

Went to Kaitlin today for a little forearm piece and I had an awesome experience. Kaitlin was so sweet and did an amazing job on my tattoo! I love it and I will definitely be back to get more work done by her

My first time here and definitely will not be my last. Bully was an amazing artist. Talented, funny, comforting and just a real down to earth guy. I will not go anywhere else. Great environment and very clean. BRING YOUR BUISNESS HERE!!!!!!

Had a great experience here! Kaitlin do s an amazing job, and was super friendly. Britany was fantastic too. Super friendly super patient. I really enjoyed my experience and will be going here from now on.

Best tattoo shop in Cleveland hands down. Every artist there does amazing work along with the shop being extremely clean and well managed. You wont regret any work you get done here and they are well worth the price!

Amazing experience! Devon did a great job on my nose piercing and make me feel right at home. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo!! Thank you!!

Ive gotten 4/5 of my tattoos here, I love this place and all the artists are amazing and do such an amazing job. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

The folks at American Tatoo are definitely in the groove. They are professional, courteous, and very creative. Thanks for making my first tattoo a most excellent experience.

Do not recommend going to see ERIC SCOTT!! Has 0/10 customer service does not care about customers at all. I wanted a 1 session tattoo to be done in 1 day, i go in he takes his time and procrastinated on purpose while leaving the time running. He ends the session early after 4 hours after we scheduled for 6 so i HAVE to come back to finish. In the end he gave me a specific date and time to come in so when the day comes 10/28/19 @ 5pm. He asks me what im doing there and someone else shows up for ERIC SCOTT! He checks the schedule and makes me fill out paper work and tells the other guy he has to wait till im done. So he brings me to the back and makes me wait like 5-10 minutes to come back and tell me he scheduled me for the next weekend when i know he just rescheduled in person. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! so i come back the next weekend and has a horrible attitude im telling u things could of went bad in there. We only had a 1hr session left and he takes his time on purpose so i would have to pay. ERIC SCOTT!! You are unprofessional u made the experience horrible but i forgive u bro god bless you and hope you are happy with yourself. Everyone else in the store treated me well ERIC SCOTT!! Gives the place bad rep.

Excellent place. Worked with James for my first tattoo. He was super professional and had solid input. Definitely planning on going back at some point.

Best shop in cleveland hands down! Some girl complained of a white ink semi colon, but these guys dont do semicolons for $60, they are $40 period, and they know better than to do them in white!! So maybe shes confused about the shop she went to. Thanks American tattoo company for being awesome!

I got a few piercings the other day and as painful as they were it was quick and less painful than the first time they were done!! I couldn’t be happier with my new piercings and I look forward to talking with an artist about a tattoo!

Some of the most detailed line work that Ive ever had. I came in on a business trip and decided to get some work done. Steve was kind and efficient. The process was reasonably priced and fast! I for sure will be back.

My son is a tattoo artist here by the name of Andre Burton he was named one of the top twenty on Instagram to get a tattoo from. Check him out, you wont be disappointed I promise!

Awesome shop. They checked like 20 times to make sure I actually wanted to ink dudes name on me. I most definitely did it despite their warnings. Cant wait to go back for the cover up everyone knew was coming. Hahaaa. Really tho.They are legit.

Kaitlin is the bomb! I am so beyond happy with the way my tattoo is coming out. I get compliments everywhere I go. Good vibes in the shop.

Never disappointed by the final product here. All the artists are phenomenal!****UPDATEEspecially James and Eric, they are both awesome at bringing ideas to life. Looking forward to more business with them!

Wonderful experience! Comfortable environment and everyone was so nice. Brittney showed enthusiasm about doing my tattoo and she nailed it, it’s exactly what I wanted!

Was able to walk in and get a pretty detailed chat that same day, I was pumped about that.Friendly staff.From what I’ve seen and heard and experienced myself, good artist.I will definitely be back.

My artist was James, and his line work is out of this world, the nicest tattoo I have, will most definitely be back for more, everyone was friendly, and helpful, 10 out of 10 for cleanliness, attentive, gentle, just awesome!

James did a wonderful job completing my tattoo, he was very professional, made great conversation, and did exceptional work especially with color! I would recommend this shop to anyone!

Had my forward helix pierced by devon and it is the best healing piercing Ive ever received. It didnt hurt and I am so happy with it!

Everyone in this shop is so talented!! I’ve been tattooed by Kevin and Tessa, both amazing artists! Highly recommend!
