River Ratz Tattoo

Dru did such an amazing job on my tattoo tonite! He brought my vision to life, and it’s exactly how I imagined it! Aside from doing amazing work, he is super chill, funny! Definitely will be coming back for any future tattoos i get. Thank you Dru!10/10 recommend

He is a very talented person and his prices are very affordable. Hes done many piercings on me and tattoos on me. Hes a great guy and he is very good at his work. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!

Great experience. I love my 3 piercings I got. The pain was minimal. Dru is a really great guy and did an amazing job. I will definitely be coming here again.

I am so in love with my tattoo!!!Going into the consultation I had a vague idea of what I wanted but couldn’t quite picture it fully yet. Dru was super helpful and talked through a bunch of different ideas with me.When I arrived on the day and saw his design it was exactly what I had always wanted! Saturn is based off of a pin given to me by my grandmother and Dru had no problem creating the exact shape I wanted.Atmosphere in the shop was awesome! Great music, super clean, I felt very comfortable. 100% recommend to anyone, especially first timers.

I’ve gotten 2 piercings and my first tattoo for Dru. Absolutely amazing work, made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Would recommend without a single doubt! Support local businesses, and please support Dru at River Ratz!!

I went in and explained I wanted my flat pierced. And that’s exactly what I got. Healing was fantastic. And, haven’t had any issues since! Will definitely be back to get more piercings. Very clean. Quiet shop. comfortable throughout the whole process.

Got a naval piercing here, Drew was so gentle and Did an awesome job! 10/10 recommend if you want to get pierced.

Got my first tattoo here and felt very informed and comfortable through the whole process. The line work was gorgeous and still beautiful several years later. I went for my second tattoo last year and had a little bit of a harder time sitting and Dru was very understanding and made sure I was ok before continuing. I recommend all my friends who are looking for an artist to check him out

Dru is such a great guy! Hell make you extremely comfortable and enjoy getting a tattoo or piercing from him. I love the work Dru has done for me 😁

Dru is absolutely amazing! He has done several tattoos for my husband and one for myself. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with when it came to what we wanted. He was professional in every way. My husband and I got matching tattoos after we got married and knew we wanted Dru to do our work! His shop was super clean and looked amazing. His price was beyond reasonable everytime. We moved to Indiana almost 6 years ago and my husband wants more work done. Its a 4 hour drive from Indiana to his shop but were definitely willing and happy to do it. If youre looking for a reliable and trustworthy tattoo artist look no farther, Dru is your man!!

Dru is the only guy Ill go to. Ive gotten my septum, industrial bar, tongue and nose pierced by him. he is precise and does an amazing job everything. I highly recommend him and River Ratz if you want something done right.

Dru is literally the best tattoo artist! He listens to what you want and makes sure that you will be 100% satisfied with the result. He’s very professional and so easy to talk to! I also love the fact the he doesn’t use any font from the internet, everything is handwritten which makes your tattoo even more special and unique. I definitely recommend this tattoo artist and I, for sure, will be back!!! Thanks again, Dru!

This is my first tattoo, So I was kinda nervous, But Dru walked me though his process answered all my questions, took his time and had to lay the stencil several times to make sure I would be happy with it, then he did what he does! Came out fantastic- will go back and would recommend him to others

I have had tattoos snd peircings done here bt Dru. First let me say his shop is hands down the cleanest ive ever been too. Second he has a lighthand when tatting. Third he is comfortable talking too and makes you feel easy. Hands down great experience.

I am obsessed with my new tattoo! Dru does amazing work and is beyond talented! I will definitely be back for more work! His shop is very clean and comfortable as well! Will definitely be recommending his work to everyone!

Highly recommend going to see Dru for piercings! Me and my son went in for dermals and out of all the piercings I have gotten this was the best experience I have ever had.

Dru is an amazing artist with fair prices, a super clean, friendly, and professional environment. He took his time and made sure I was comfortable and felt happy with the piece before hand. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family and plan on coming back for more work soon!!

Dru has done a few piercings for me, one that my body rejected and he offered to let it heal and try again, to which I never did. He’s also helped me work on my sleeve for my late grandmother and I’m absolutely in love with it. I wanted something hand drawn and something nobody else had that was a refection of her. He made it even better then I could’ve ever imagined. He’s honest and he will work with you if needed. He takes his time to be sure he gets it right the first time. Thanks Dru, I’ll see you again soon!

He was so nice with my family. Made us feel better cause it was all our first time doing it a septum piercing. My family will come back here for more. 10/10 recommended going to him when your in Kentucky.

Dru is beyond amazing he did my very first tattoo when he worked for another person. He’s also done an amazing job with a Harley Quinn I asked I brought him a design an he made it his. His shop is beyond clean an sanitary. He lets you watch him open everything communicates so well doesn’t make it weird. He’s fairly priced honestly one of the more affordable artists out there for just amazing works

Dru is honestly an overall great person to work with. He tattooed my mom and I in the same day, and also was able to get us in rather quickly. He took the time to sketch my mom’s tattoo, and even edit the size and make sure she was 100% happy about it (considering it was her second tattoo and going on her wrist). My mom and I are both very happy with our tattoos, and Dru does not hesitate to give advise about why or why not something about a tattoo isn’t a good idea, which I HIGHLY respect. Also, he pierced my tongue in the same day I messaged him. Shop is very clean, and also love the painting on the wall.

If I could give this place a 10 star I would. I have a good amount of tattoos and the shop is definitely hands down the best shop I have been to. It is very very clean and just a great atmosphere. Dru is an amazing artist and such a nice person. If you dont like something he is more than happy to do whatever it is to make you happy. Me and my 2 best friends went there to get matching tattoos and and it couldnt of went any better. He is also the owner of the shop and cares about his customers. I am so glad I came here to get our tattoos I will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you so much for all your hard work Dru and for giving me a tattoo that I will cherish forever and an amazing memory as well.

Dru has done my only two tattoos and 4 of my piercings. Hes always done a great job and Ill never go to another artist. Dru is awesome and hes thorough with everything he does. Im about to come back for a few more piercings! Thanks so much Dru! Youll be hearing from me soon.

I had the good fortune to find Dru at River Ratz Tattoo. After a quick consultation made an appointment to have a tattoo done. He runs a top notch “one man show” in Ludlow KY. The shop is clean, pleasant and inviting. His gear is excellent!! He’s very laid back and a PRACTICED PROFESSIONAL. 100% chance of return business!!

This is a stand up guy, he really is good at what he does and you see it in his attitude throughout your whole session with him. When I got serviced you can really tell the passion and love he has for what he does. When he pierced me, I didn’t even feel it. Very professional and talented guy.

Dru is a professional through and through. He didn’t just tattoo me, and pierce my nose, but made sure anatomically it made sense. I don’t know many artists that will take so much extra time to make sure it looks perfect on you.Now let’s talk about his actual tattoo work, it’s incredible. I’ll be getting all future work with dru. Dru is a solid human, and cares more about the finished product, compared to just making money.In short, Dru’s dope.

Dru did an outstanding job on my tattoo. He took the time to improve the design & it turned out even better than I had hoped! His shop is clean and he is super chill. I would definitely recommend this shop to a friend.

Dru is very kind and knowledgeable! I got my ears repierced and he made them even (they were uneven and has bothered me for a long time). His shop is very clean and I love the atmosphere. My sister went with me and we were very impressed. Thank you for a great experience!

Dru is simply amazing he has always been my first and only choice for all my tattoos I go to him with an idea in mind and he always comes threw with an fantastic design and his prices are responsible also, and even if i want a tattoo spare the moment he always makes time to fit me in! If your looking for a fabulous tattoo that looks good he’s your guy!! Dru thank you again

Dru isnt just a great artist and shop owner, hes becoming a pillar to the community.When my mother passed away I had reached out asking if he would be willing to sell me a gift card with a slight discount so we could auction it off at my mothers benefit. Without hesitation he told me to stop down at the shop and wed figure something out.Upon my arrival Dru already had a $100 gift card ready and told me it was free of charge. Immediately after seeing my gratitude and appreciation he instantly wrote me another and wished me and my family well.Anyone whos ever built their business from scratch knows how vital every dollar is especially in the beginning.Not only is Dru a great artist and very articulate but hes one of the best guys I know. Willing to go above and beyond for anyone who simply treats him with a little respect!I appreciate you brother! Youll always hold a special place in my heart for your selflessness and willingness to help the next man/woman! Thats lacking in todays world! Especially in your industry as most just seek the all mighty dollar with no concern of the customers wants or needs!!

Dru is great, its an awesome environment and he does amazing work. I had a place that I wanted tattooed and he sat with me and explained how he could do it, but it wouldnt look great due to placement and ink spreading over time. Most people would have just done it and taken the money. It was a great experience and I would recommend everyone go there.

I have gone to Dru for 2 of my 7 tattoos and his are the only ones that I am 100% satisfied with! He does such fantastic work, his shop is very clean and super fun. I’m already planning my next visit!

This is the best tattooing experience Ive had. He was friendly and listened to what i wanted. I was also open to suggestions to make my artwork what i wanted. The shop is clean well organized and well equipped. A fair price for quality artwork. I will definitely send anyone looking for a tattoo to River Ratz Tattoo.

This place is the BEST. Went there for a couple of cartilage piercings, which I was a little apprehensive about but super excited to do. Dru walked me through the process, made sure I was comfortable at every level, and gave me exact instructions for the healing process. Just two days later, my ear is feeling great, and the piercings are looking fantastic. Absolutely going back to him next time!!

I’ve been to Dru twice and never have had a bad expierence. He knows what he’s doing,is very nice and always open to a conversation. Although I don’t have big pieces from him, the work he has done for me is awesome and has always gotten me in same day. As for pricing, i went to him probably a couple years ago now so i’m sure it has changed but the pricing was great and perfect for the size tattoos i have. I totally recommend dru.

I havent heard too much about this shop before. So I was a little weary honestly. I went for a piercing. But let me tell you, Dru was amazing! Clean shop, cleaned tools, he was very professional. I definitely did not feel uncomfortable! I couldnt say enough nice things about this place. I dont normally have a lot of places to recommend for friends/family, but this is definitely one of them. Ive told my friends about this place already. I will definitely be returning in the future based off my experience. Normally the artist/piercer just tries to rush you and hardly talks to you from my experience. But he made conversation with me which made me less nervous and more comfortable. I am definitely happy and satisfied with how everything turned out. I honestly 10/10 recommend this place to anyone!!

We love this place! My daughter and I got our noses pierced and then matching tattoos. My husband got a tattoo on another occasion. Every time we’ve been there it’s been a great experience. We’ve also sent our friends there and recommend it to anyone who asks for the best place to get a piercing or a tattoo. Thanks for being awesome, Dru!

Can’t say enough good things about this place!! Dru has done 2 of my tattoos and I’ll never see another artist again! His work is great and price is way better than your Average high end tattoo shop. I will never stop recommending river ratz tats, and look forward to much more ink from Dru in the future!

Dru is awesome. I’ve had two tattoos and a cover up done by him that took 3 separate sessions. I’ve spent quite some time getting inked by him to say the least. I live 2 hours away and that drive is absolutely worth it every time!!! I can’t wait to go back for a new piece! Don’t trust anyone else.

Dru has a very clean shop and is super professional! He has done all 6 of my tattoos, 4 of which he drew out for me! Plus a few piercings! I’m definitely going back to him for more!

Dru has done my lip 3 times. With so much scar tissue, I expected it to be more painful every time but each time he was so gentle and I barely noticed! He is always professional, responds quickly, and answers all of my questions! I cant wait to see him for my first tattoo!!

Dru has always been my go to for tattoos! He did script wording on the side of my arm so well that I even referred my mom to him and she had a beautiful Iris tattooed to cover up an old one from another shop. Thanks so much Dru! Ill see you soon again!

Dru is always so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is great and you’ll feel super comfortable. I always leave ecstatic with his work. He really knows how to bring my ideas to life

River Ratz is a great shop down in Ludlow. I have had work done by Dru in the past and things are always clean and professional. His artwork and tattoos speak for themselves. Highly recommend giving him a shout when you need some new work done.

I have always had a great experience at River Ratz since the very beginning of its establishment. Dru Clegg is very professional and treats his clients with respect - something that was hard for me to find in an artist before. I feel very comfortable when in the shop and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Dru’s shop is the cleanest and one of the coolest shops you could ever walk into. He always throws his best at every tattoo he does. He’s done several for me and all of them have turned out great! Highly recommend, 5 Stars!

The shop owner did an amazing job piercing my 12 year old daughters ears. He was very patient with her hesitation. Will be going back!!! Shop was very clean and organized. Gave me a fair price for the tattoo work I wanted done as well!

The best tattoo artist I’ve been to so far. Took the design I showed him and completely just made it his own and it looked so so so much better than the original. A true artist. Very personable and makes sure everything goes smoothly! Would 100% recommend and will be back again

Dru is not only an amazing artist but a fantastic professional! I have made the mistake of not using an experienced artist before. Dru does amazing work- I wont get another tattoo if its not Drus work! Highly recommended.

Drew is Great! Location is Great! Very Clean and Nice inside. Pleasant place to be! Been getting my tattoos from Drew for years!!!

2 years ago I had a last minute idea for a tattoo so I could surprise my daughter with it at her graduation from basic training. This was the only place I could find that could get me in quickly, who didnt want to completely change my idea & charge me an arm & a leg. (She & I both loved it btw) Since then my daughter & her BFF have gotten tattoos of their own from Dru. Theyve also both recommended other people go there too. When my finances allow Ill be going back myself! His work is amazing & not as expensive as some other well known places Ive been to. Whenever anyone asks for a local tattoo artist hes definitely the one I recommend!!!

O-M-G hes amazing please go! Did my septum piercing and recommend him for all my friends. If i want or need any other piercings or even tattoos Id come to him in a heartbeat. He made me feel so comfortable, had me laughing and smiling even though my nose hurt (i dont take pain well).

If you want one of the best body modifications ( Tattoos/ Body Piercing), in the Northern Kentucky /Cincinnati area; please come to River Ratz Tattoos and see Dru Clegg. Clean studio with an understanding that the clients have various needs, concerns and challenges. Dru who is the owner / artist at River Ratz Tattoos, knows this and works with his clients individually by providing support & information to meet the clients warranted needs and concerns. This is a class act, informative tattoo and body piercing studio that I recommend to everyone searching for a great body modification experience.

The shop is very clean and comfortable. Dru is very professional, I came in showed him the tattoo I wanted and he changed it up a bit and made it even better. I will be coming back for more.

Dru is one of the most talented, up and coming artists in the Cincinnati/Northern KY area. This guy is worth every penny. You will be highly satisfied when you pay this guy a visit for your tattoo.

He is hands down the best person to get piercings from I only got 2 piercings and he was amazing he was nice and kind I will most definitely be coming back

Dru is a super nice guy and easy to talk to. He always has a smile on his face. Very professional and was kind to other customers that entered his shop while I was there. I will definitely return.

Fantastic I won’t go anywhere else! Dru is a fantastic artist and helps my ideas come to life! Great atmosphere to relax and enjoy the time in the shop! Recommend all my friends and family to River Ratz and everyone is more than satisfied!

Dru is truly amazing at everything’s he’s tattooed for me and always makes sure the end product is perfection, highly recommend!

I messaged the owner very early this morning, and able to get my astounding tattoo later this evening. I couldnt be more pleased with the customer service. He was very nice, as Well as informative. ASTONISHING line work. I would recommend River Ratz Tattoo to anyone. Most defiantly will be returning.

Would refer him to anyone seeking to get a tattoo or piercing! Very clean shop. I’ve gotten my nose pierced and 3rd tattoo from here! Dru takes his time and makes sure the piece looks exactly how you want. Will definitely be going back!

Dru is a great artist! I’ve seen him grow and criticize every piece along the way. Exactly who you want in an artist putting something permanent on your body. An artist who cares, wants it perfect and continues to grow and challenge themselves.

Dru was fantastic. My girls and I added a little bling. The service was sanitary, calm and fun!

I threw out the most random collection of things to turn in to a sleeve and Dru killed it. He does great work and hes really flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend him for anything and I look forward to many more tattoos in the future and finishing my sleeve with him!

Yesterday I went and got spider bites by Dru and my cousin got herself a Medusa we are both super pleased with our results and the super good care that Dru gave during our process I unfortunately passed out oops 🤣 and he knew exactly what to do he was awesome!! definitely recommend River rats tattoo !

Ive had several tattoos by Dru and always get positive comments on his work. Fair pricing and a light hand will keep me coming back for years to come!

Amazing Artist with amazing skills!! Dru definitely puts his heart into his work. I would absolutely recommend River Ratz Tattoo to anyone who is looking to get tattoo work done!!!

I got my nipples pierced and got really dizzy and passed out from the adrenaline. it took me a while to feel better and to actually get up and even put my shirt on. The piercer was more than helpful- he was nurturing when i felt dizzy and for the whole experience i could tell he knew what he was doing. I will definitely be going back for other piercings and tattoos.

Cant say any more than how pleased I am with Drus work! He did exactly what I wanted and is an extremely personable fella, as well as extremely clean place! Professional for sure. Highly recommend!

I have many piercings and this was the best experience I’ve had. Highly recommend! Dru was super nice, absolutely loved him.

I am very very happy with the work dru did on me I got a traditional sparrow tattoo on my ribs, the lines couldn’t be straighter even if you used a ruler for a straight edge. if you’re planning on getting a tattoo I highly recommend checking this place out.

Dru does an awesome job. Thank you Dru! Love my tattoo! I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

I got my rose tattoo there it was my first one and the place is great. Dru listens to u and is patient, cares about his clients and wants to make them happy. If I could give 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would.

Dru does all of my boyfriend’s tattoo work & it always looks great! Shop is extremely well taken care of and he puts a lot of work into making it a great business.

I got a dermal here today and he did an amazing job! he was incredibly friendly and professional and even came in while he was off to do it for me. amazing place and piercer i highly recommend!

Always satisfied when seeing Dru for tattoo work. His attention to detail in his work is excellent and I would highly recommend him.

Just got my chest finished and Love IT! Ive been going to Dru for a few years now for the reason that you get your moneys worth on the quality he puts out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND RIVER RATZ TATTOO!

I got my belly periced and dru did an amazing job it was straight and did all proper procedure and it didnt hurt AT ALL not even a pinch and Ive waited a few days and its now been a week and healing and everything has went well so Id recommend his place to anyone wanting any pericing

This place is awesome! Best piercer Ive ever had. Clean, quick and professional. He even tells you when to breath so it helps you tolerate your pain.

Dru was amazing!!! He had to remove a dermal of mine and minimal pain and can’t tell there was anything there and was in and out in 10 min!!!

I love this place. The entire vibe is awesome. The owner is a great guy and does amazing work. Will forever be my go to tattoo place! Highly recommend!

Dru did a great job and was very patient with me. The work is amazing and I will certainly be coming back

If I could give 0 stars I would but unfortunately it will not let me... I would never refer him to anyone He did work on me in 2018 he was supposed to do a 3-D Egyptian Pyramid with the all seeing eye in the middle It turned out a total disaster.. And to make it worse It was a memorial piece for my grandmother which was devastating I will post pictures So people can see for their self and decide...

Great Place! Clean, Fresh and Crisp! Dru is a true Artist and does Beautiful Work! Reasonable Prices and Outstanding Creations.

I will have a standing appointment! I am honestly just looking at previous tattoos, not done by him, and wanting him to put his own touch on them. I look forward to the next!

The owner was very nice and no complications with my piercing at all!! He was handsome too haha, 10/10 recommend!!

Great place! Owner was super down to earth and cool. Thanks again for the navel piercing!

The owner was very knowledgable and friendly. Great atmosphere, price, and experience. Definitely recommend.

He is literally amazing at his work great prices and even great work I will be going back

I went to speak with the owner who is the only person working there. 1sthe was over priced a real jerk on the phone an seemed to want drugs than work but definitely needed alot of money. I say heck no to this business

Super friendly and got my piercing done quick. I’ll definitely come back to this shop if I want another piercing

Dru did both of my tattoos and i love them both!! he made sure that he understood what i wanted and was great!!

I’ll never go anywhere else for tattoos. He is very clean and makes sure his work looks perfect before you leave.

Quality tattoo work by a solid guy. Don’t mess around when it comes to your skin getting ink. This guy puts in the hours and makes your vision come to life.

Me and my sister got our tounge done and my stepmom got her nose done very respectful I would definitely recommend him and going back for more
