Uppity Tattoos

This was my first shop experience with tattooing. While I shopped around for an artist, Michael Millyons and Daniel Collins were both wonderful at answering my questions in a timely manner and very patient with my lack of experience.Daniel Collins was my artist for my first shop tattoo and that was also a wonderful experience! Not only did he answer additional questions while I was there in full and so I could learn the process, he held great conversation throughout the whole process. I am very happy with my piece!They both do very beautiful work!Also, there was a sweet lady out front who is the mother of the owner! She was very nice to have a conversation with as well! AND SHE DOES PIERCINGS! Adding that to my list for my teen daughters and I!I WILL BE BACK!💜💙💙

Saw Patron at the Chicago tattoo festival. He was the only artist who even talked to me about a cover up. He did a fantastic job hiding a 14 year old tattoo. I can see the old one in about 3 places, but only because I know where to look. Even before I left, I was getting compliments and everyone was shocked that it was a cover up. I’m very happy with his work. The price was reasonable. The only area where he was off was in the time estimate. Took around 3.5-4 hours when he quoted 2-3, but if he takes the extra time to make it look good, who cares?

Highly recommend! The artists were friendly and the place has a nice vibe. Tattoo artist Stephen Peterson did best friend tattoos for myself and my friend. We had an idea and Stephen was able to improvise and execute it perfectly! If you want or need a new tattoo, Stephen Peterson and Uppity Tattoos is where you want to go!

I participated in a Halloween promo last year and was super pleased so I purchased a gift certificate for my daughter in December for her birthday. Like most young adult she held on to it until she could afford to get the tattoo she wanted. Now they are saying that the gift certificate is void. There was no expiration listed on it and honestly it hasnt even been a year. Hope they enjoyed taking money for doing nothing. Very unprofessional, I could see if it had been a year+ but it hasnt. They do great work honestly but how do you not honor a gift certificate that was purchased from the owner at the shop? Get real.

Love this place. Patron did an amazing job on my neck tattoo. I will definitely be back for him to do the other side. Very respectful and makes u feel comfortable

I have gotten a few of my tattoos here so far and I will ALWAYS go back and see Nicole! She is such an awesome person and does amazing work! I absolutely love my tattoos she has given me. She even fixed one of my prior tattoos. Thanks so much Nicole and team you guys are great! 💖

Daniel is awesome. Very helpful and full of ideas that will work well with whatever particular body part you choose to put your tattoo! Highly recommend

I got my septum pierced here and had a bad experience and by fault of my own didn’t address my concern of it being crooked and got a response within 24 hours and they gave me credit towards a tattoo that went and I got a few days later and it is beautiful!!! Idk who my artist was I forgot his name unfortunately but he has AMAZING work and the people in there are beyond friendly and sweet!! Definitely recommend

I used Daniel Collin’s at Uppity Tattoo and he did a really good job, he was super fast at getting me in, clean, and professional. Everyone was nice. I will be back to get more!!

Love this shop! Daniel Collin’s is a very passionate artist. Give him a go!

My 3 teens and I drove from Cincy to their Friday 13th flash sale and had a great experience, this was their 1st tattoo. The wait was very long as expected on a high volume flash sale day, but it was well worth it. They had a food stand out front with some amazing fried oreos and funnel cakes. The staff definitely handled the pressure well. I felt like the owners had a great system in place to handle all of the customers. The owners were very friendly and personable, she took the time out to chat with customers even though they were lined down the street to get inside. We will definitely be back for more Ink. Thank you for giving them a great 1st tattoo experience.

Love this place. Danielle does an amazing job!

I went in for a deal on Facebook and came out even more excited. I love my new tattoos. Daniel Collins did a his thingggg!! Def recommending to friends and coming back.

I had my first tattoo experience here and Danielle was so nice and as gentle as she could be and explained everything she was doing so I’d feel comfortable! Highly recommend!

I was in town for short period of time, I told Danielle what I wanted which was a lot of work and we got it all done in 2 days. A+ work with great prices but the vibe and great atmosphere was priceless. Great group of people that make you feel apart of a family. Best tattoo experience I ever had.

Got my dream Polynesian tribal shoulder piece done by Nicole. It’s amazingly done and her lines are clean and fast. Everyone in the shop was super nice and constantly complimented the work throughout the process. Highly recommend @tattoosbynicole03 dope personality and amazing talent.

Got inked by Patron at the Ft Wayne convention. Nice guy who did a great job at an amazing price! I’ll make the 3 hour drive to Dayton in the future to get more!

Took my daughters there for piercings. My youngest 15 got her nose done. It was quick friendly and looked great. Second daughter got her vertical lebret don. It was perfectly aligned and dead center. The jewelry was a little short for the swelling but other than that everyone was amazing. As a joke Mrs. Lynn even teased with my grandson (6) and ask if he was next for a piercing or tat…

Hit up my buddy Daniel Collins. He does great work and he will give you a good price

Absolutely recommend!! Miesha did my side thigh tattoo. She is definitely the best. She made sure I was comfortable or if I needed a break. I came in with a design in mind and she knocked it out of the park. Definitely worth checking out, you will not be disappointed

I absolutely love the work Miesha did for me. She did EXACTLY what i wanted! We had some great conversation during the whole process as well. The whole staff is cool af. Its been almost 2 months since i got my work done and my tattoo hasnt scarred at all. And the colors are so vibrant. Very happy with my choice. I will be back soon. ❤

Miesha was my tattoo artist. She was super nice and very gentle, she made me feel comfortable and I was super nervous. I had two drawings my friend did and she cooperated both to symbolize the love I have as a mother of my daughter and I posted the picture above to show how beautiful it came out and what the drawings were before the tattoo. She did a great job! Thank you so much Miesha. I love it.

Fantastic artist and very friendly. Relaxed atmosphere and beautiful work! Only downfall, BRING CASH. The fees, for using a card, are alot. I highly recommend going Herr. The art that my husband and I received, far exceeded my expectations!!JUST BEAUTIFUL!

Friday 13th flash sale was great! Got my first tattoo, a spider, yesterday. They had a food stand there with great fried foods. Staff and owners were friendly and professional. We will be returning soon. Keep up the great work. Shout out to the owner (the wife) for running such a smooth operation and keeping your composure when people were lined up around the block to get in.

My daughter Brittney had gone to Uppity in Huber and it was a disaster from start to finish. This was supposed to have been a birthday present for my daughter, and it would be one she wished she could have returned.Some backstory...Brittney had known Dustin Duhl from another studio for some time from previous work, & I told her she would regret not going to him... she did.Miesha Irene was met with delays that morning, and it progressed downhill from there. Real life can/does happen, but when you work in a industry of permanent ink, you dont rush to get back to it.From dropping the Tattoo Machine (leaving a permanent mark on her arm), to the constant smoke breaks and rushed experience, the end result was... well, bad.The line work atrocious, uneven & definitely not what someone should pay $700 for. People in the area had made mention of this shop and Miesha winning second place in a contest known as Ink Master (to which we would find out was a competition out of state and not affiliated with the show - all in the words, right?).The unfortunate is Brittney had to wait until it healed before getting it fixed, and she knew exactly who she trusted to do it... Dustin Duhl - who was now at ZAP Tattoos. Obviously, this was going to take MORE $$ to fix, but upon meeting with Dustin and the folks at Zap, I personally was blown away. Their studio is fricken incredible, & theres some incredible talent here that actually COULD compete in the REAL Ink Master, not some knock off competition out of state.Dustin went to work, spending quite a bit coloring, fixing and being precise with understanding what Brittney was looking for. Most importantly, he and the staff there were completely professional. I appreciated this because you can see where the tattoo is located, and this is my daughter (Marine dad).In the end, Brittney was really happy with the touch up. I genuinely wish the original had been done the right way and not seemed so rushed, as I am sure there are many other artists out there whom have good portfolios of their work.However, this is not an industry you can race through. This is not an industry you can take shortcuts with because the end result is a permanent reflection of that work, and no one remembers the good - they do remember the bad. This tattoo missed the mark for a $700 investment.Semper Fi.

This place is awesome!! Really chill atmosphere and great artist!! I was nervous as it was my first tattoo but honestly it was just a really good experience!!! Definitely going to be back!

Patrons work is amazing. He let me come to the shop at the last minute and created a beautiful piece. He took the quality time to make sure the tatt turned out great. I gave him a picture of what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations and made the tattoo look even better than the picture. Will definitely be coming back for my next piece.

I was just there on Saturday night and PATRON did a amazing job on me and my friends tattoos he was quick and paid attention to details

I recommend this place before any other. Very nice, clean and well organized. Also reasonable prices!!.. Shout out to Michael Millyons for giving me something I can always remember my grandmother by..

This review is moreso a criticism on the management of their Friday the 13th Flash Sale in hopes they can improve for future customers. This isnt directed to any of the artists or their work. My significant other wanted to get a tattoo with their friend group and I said Id pay it for them. What we thought was originally $25 actually had an added amount as tip (putting it past $30+, which my SO paid the tip portion), and its all paid up front, which is kinda a really questionable business decision. Im all for tipping, but clarification wouldve been nice beforehand and I feel like that should go to the artists AFTER the work is done.Regardless, we went with it and waited over 3 hours, and the estimate wouldve been another hour at minimal. So we went to the desk to ask if theyd take us tomorrow, which was a yes. However, after asking if wed get priority next day for waiting in line for hours, the response was basically along the lines of no and that wed potentially have to wait more hours, and we didnt have time for that when we had rehearsals for an important event tomorrow. In addition to this, they were still taking more customers despite already having a lengthy list to go off of and having no limit of how many stencils a single customer could get.So in the end, we never ended up getting the tattoo and never got our money back since they had some papers saying No Refunds around the shop and the last thing I want to do is debate in a tattoo shop setting when artists are hard at work. Overall, our Flash Sale experience left a lot to be desired and I hope they can maybe learn going forward![Edit]After a reply to the prior review, we revisited and they upheld their word, which we were both grateful for. I cant give 5 stars because what was stated prior shouldnt have occurred to begin with, but Im more than happy to meet halfway and give 4 out 5. The fact they offered and kept their word after an inconvenience speaks volumes. The process was also quick with no hassle and we got the moneys worth. Thanks Uppity Tattoos!

I’m very disappointed in the tattoo I got by the one lady at the Tattoo Convention in Wildwood. The up for grabs tattoo I chose at their table was really cool, but the line work is terrible. The line in the circle is messed up. My boyfriend who also got a tattoo by the same lady had terrible linework for his too. They were nice people, but I didn’t pay $350 to get a tattoo that has uneven lines.

My wife had the worst experience, she first called the store for the price, the woman who make piercing told her that it cost 30 dollars to get eyebrow piercing, when she arrived to the store, the man told her that it is 40 dollars! she told him that she called and the woman told her 30 so she only paid 30. the woman who did the piercing was not professional at all. first she made her bleed, then she had hard time putting the screw on the ring, she kept moving the ring and irritate it. it took her more than 7 mins to out the screw on, it was stressful, this is not even the worst part. the piercing was misplaced, it was too down low and close to her eye. it looked awful! she waited 6 weeks to try a smaller ring, but it still look so wrong! now she removed it because it was making her uncomfortable. it is not only waste of money but also of time, and skin!!! she now has to deal with a scar and a disappointment.

One of the tattoo artists at the tattoo convention was so rude to my friend. The artist made fun of her tattoo and said it looked like it didnt cost a lot of money. I guess he was defending his astronomical prices at the convention. It wasnt a remark you make to someone when youre trying to get their business. With such an unbelievable talent as his competition, he should not have acted that way. All we said was next booth.

Went to the “Halloween flash sale” never again. Hours and hours of waiting with nothing but unorganized chaos! Having to pay upfront with no refunds. Instead of paying the artist directly. People that were behind you somehow getting their tattoo now before you. The place definitely had way too many people inside with not enough space. Only was offered coming back tomorrow because of how long we waited but not everyone got the offer. But was told there was no priority for the people from the day before.

I got a few tattoos and I love them cant wait to get More thanks so much also got a piercing from mama Lynn everyone is super nice and its just a really great place to be and get a tattoo very great atmospher

Got two tattoos done by Danielle, she was very nice and she did amazing I love them !

Im in love with this place!! The atmosphere is so welcoming and warm. Jay did my tattoos just about a week ago, and it was a very pleasant experience, she made sure I was comfy and relaxed the whole time and the tattoos were brilliantly done!!! Everyone there was very professional and the artwork that they do is amazing 10/10 would recommend!! Id be here every day if my bank would allow it.

I want to thank Zack for doing my awesome butterfly tattoo with the word believe on it it is amazing. Definitely will be coming back to get more ink!!!! The staff is friendly and awesome to talk with. They make you feel comfortable and they have a really clean environment. Thanks again Zack!!!

Please be cautious when going here for piercings. I called and asked if they had availability for a septum piercing and they had me come in. I got there and one lady I believe people were calling her momma or something told me she would not be able to pierce me because she doesn’t feel comfortable doing septum piercings… I should’ve walked out then. I let some guy do it. He hurt me extremely bad. I’ve had my septum pierced 2x prior and NEVER have I felt this much pain and he pierced it crooked so I ended up taking it out. Absolutely horrible. Again.. PLEASE be cautious when getting a piercing here.

When I messaged Uppity tattoos today, I heard back almost immediately from the shop. Patron asked me to come in. The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness of the shop. The second thing was I was greeted immediately. All of the staff were extremely friendly. Patron looked over my tattoo idea, and helped me find the best spot. Him and his staff made me laugh during the tattoo and made me feel comfortable. They treated me like a friend, not just a customer. I have 17 tattoos by 16 different artists. I will be going back to Patron and Uppity Tattoos for my next tattoos. While I was there, I also got to witness other artists at work. I was very impressed by their techniques and knowledge as well. Five stars. If I could give more, I would.

We felt welcomed and like we were at home the minute we entered! Mama Lynn went out of her way to make my daughter feel comfortable with getting her belly button pierced! Great people, Great service! #supportblackbusinesses We will be back! Best in the Dayton area!

Just got a vertical hood piercing don’t here. I’ve had a lot of piercings including my nipples twice but I was really scared about this one so one of the employees held my hands! Very happy with the result plus very clean and sanitary work areas!

Thank you to the amazing staff for the great tattoo I was highly impressed. I will definitely be making another appointment here in the near future

Danylle does a great job. Went to her for a special tattoo in honor of my momma and she did a amazing job. Thank you for a wonderful experience

The best tattoo experience I have ever had… and I’ve had a lot! Place is super nice and clean, people are all cool as hell! Jesse Webb is a beast! Great work, light handed and very pretty fast… he will be the only one doing my tattoo work from here on out!

Patron was amazing! He did such a good job and he was so chill I loved everyone there I’ll definitely make this my shop. Thank you so much ❤️

The guys at Uppity Tattoos are awesome and highly recommend them! The best vibe surrounding and well worth it!

I love his artwork and personality! I have gotten 5 tattoos from him now. And he has always made me feel very at ease and relaxed during. I love my tats! I plan on getting plenty more too! And because I loved the whole experience every-time~ Patron has become my only tat man! I trust him, he artwork is very talented, diverse. He is very professional and yet fun to be around! Makes any butterflies you may be feeling just relax and go away... his shop is very warm, friendly, and clean. I highly recommend him!!!! I know I will always only choose him!!

Have had multiple tattoos done here and my eyebrow and ears pierced. I have never had a bad experience when visiting. Every one who works here is very friendly and treat you like family. Mike done awesome work on my tattoos and Ms. Lynn was quick and painless with the piercings. You can not beat the deals they are willing to give you anywhere! I will definitely be returning and recommending to every one I know!!

I’ve gotten a couple tattoos from Uppity, both done by Nicole Stringer. Both times Nicole has done a fantastic job and the environment was very clean and friendly! I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone because you will not be disappointed!

It was my first time coming to shop to get tattoo, I had the pleasure of meeting Brian at the Tattoo convention, got my first tattoo from him at the Cincinnati Convention Center. Really love my new tattoo! Thank you the wonderful artwork!

Lynn is the one who did my nose piercing, and she did absolutely amazing! She got it done fast and took great care of me while she did it!

Very laid back place people there are so friendly and i was so impressed today with Rudy who did a fantastic job on my tattoo for my son!

I felt like I was walking into a second home. Everyone was genuinely kind. I went first to get my nose pierced then back again for my tattoo. I absolutely loved how gentle Miesha was with me. I received exactly what I wanted and she even went out of her way to answer a million and one questions as my tattoo was healing. I would definitely recommend this business and service for your piercing and tattoo needs.

Got a snakebite lip piercing done and it was wonderful! The shop is very clean and has a great atmosphere, and the entire interaction was done quickly and flawlessly. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful, I would 100% recommend this shop to anyone looking for a good piercer

The oner admited he does trash work and is not a artist and he messed up my leg after charging me 300 he has been shut down twice before and cant tattoo for nothing. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I am so happy with my new tattoo from Patron! He came in after the shop closed specifically to shoot this tattoo for me last night, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I got a cicada on my chest, wings out spread, and it’s already my favorite piece. He works very quickly and was super helpful in determining good placement and letting me take a break whenever I needed. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone in the area who wants new ink!

Rude and unprofessional. Everyone there was high which probably explains why after making an appt and driving 30 minutes, they said they didnt even have the right staff or the jewelry for the piercing that was scheduled despite multiple appt confirmations. Instead of taking accountability, got really rude and tried gaslighting as a way out and then went and posted an immature b and unprofessional status instead of trying to fix the issue.... owner obviously needs therapy and a couple business classes before trying to run a business

My friend wanted to come in and get her belly button pieced on a whim. We came in and at first I wasnt very comfortable with the store and where it was but after meeting Lynn, the woman who pierced her, I felt great. All the tools she used were fresh and sterile from bags and Lynn wore gloves. The piercing itself was super quick and my friend said it was almost painless. Definitely a great place for a piercing.

Got a couple sick tattoos from Patron, recommend 100/10. Great guy, he really works with you to get exactly what you want. And pricing is 💯. Awesome environment in the shop, everyone is super friendly and cool to hang out with. If you getting a tattoo, come through this shop. Ive wanted these tattoos for a minute, and i could not be happier with the whole experience and the result.

Edit: A business that meets critique with a your fault attitude is not worth anyones time. It was not my knee, Ive had tattoos on bone before. It was caused by technical application.I did communicate with the artist. She was unapproachable & uninterested, I did not want her to touch my skin again. I wish no ill on anyone, may she continue to grow. You can have bad days but this wasnt one of them. Her attitude & skill as an artist should not be standard as above & beyond, thats neglectful to future clients._________Nicole was communicative & pleasant over message. Asked to pay for my piece upfront. Unusual but not a problem. She was the most painful tattoo Ive ever gotten. I bled so much the first 12hrs & noticed some blowout from her dragging the needle so heavily. I paid for shading and left with only line work due to her skill level and attitude. I was never offered a refund for the difference between getting line work only and a shaded tattoo.Shaky and overlapping lines. One of which I pointed out to her at the end of our appointment to which she went oh and just made it thicker to cover up the out-of-bounds ink. Ive never been disappointed in a tattoo before as theyre all perfectly imperfect, but that combined with her attitude deserves a heads up to anyone making an informed decision.I am extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism, the curt attitude, and deception between the digital work & whats capable of being done on skin. Withheld money without completing work, unnecessary trauma to the skin being so heavy handed, poor bedside manner.

I got my daith pierced yesterday by Lynn. She was so professional, kind and gentle. I have a very low pain tolerance and she made sure that I was as comfortable as I could be during the piercing. The price was right and the quality of the jewelry and service that I experienced was top notch. I highly recommend Lynn if youre thinking about getting a piercing.

Highly recommend!! Such an amazing place they are all such amazing talented artists! Especially Miesha! Well shes my personal favorite but they all do great work. Plus a great atmosphere and they are all so nice and welcoming just all around a great place. 10/10

I can’t say enough good things about Patron and Lynn. I had five piercings done and started my cover up tattoo tonight. They are both so professional and helpful. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but Patron had a vision and I’m so glad I trusted him and let him do his thing. I’ve finally found my tattoo and piercing shop! Keep up the great work guys, I’ll see you soon! PS I want Lynn to be my mom, she’s the sweetest lady ever!

Did a hell of a good job on me my girls and my mom’s tattoos

Great artwork! Friendly, clean environment, exceptional customer service! All in all If you need a tattoo or piercing, I highly recommend this company!!!! Also highly recommend miesha as your artist, she will do you right! Exceptional and talented artwork!

I do not recommend getting pierced here. The woman who we had pierce my daughters lip was a very nice woman. However while doing the 2 lip piercings she messed up on the second 1 and had to poke her a 3rd time! The rings are not where they were suppose to be and are uneven. She was also going to use the wrong jewelery before and she would have had I not spoke up. Again the woman was nice as can be, her name escapes me, but I dont recommend her at all.

The people here are very nice however they do not know what they are doing when it comes to piercings. The did not use the correct jewelry which resulted in me having to go to a different shop only 3 days after I got the piercing to get the jewelry replaced. The shop did not seem very clean either. The the floors were very dirty and the shop overall did not look legit. Again the people here were very nice but obviously did not know fully what they were doing. If you’re looking to get a piercing please choose a different place to save yourself the time, pain, and money.

Thank you again for doing my daughters navel piercing! The people here were so nice and professional. The price was reasonable too! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a piercing done

Walked in with my three daughters, two of which wanted piercings...Ms. Lynn was SO nice to each of us, even letting my 3rd daughter watch each of us through our own. Laid back atmosphere... would definitely recommend and visit again!!

My experience at u.d ink was phenomenal. The workers were very nice and patient with knowing I really didnt know what I wanted. I had an idea and they worked with me to get an amazing tattoo. It turned out beautiful very friendly out going. I most definitely would go back. I have recommended people to go to u.d ink. Miesha is the one who did my tattoo and couldnt ask for a better tattoo artist.

Me and my fiance just got tattoos from Patron yesterday. He got 2 tattoos and I got 1 and a piercing from Patrons mom Lynn. Theyre both amazing artists. I love the laid back vibe of the shop and everybody is super friendly. Ill never go to another shop for tattoos or piercings again. Thanks again you guys.

I took my daughter here for a double piercing and the lady that did them was absolutely amazing and she made my daughter feel very comfortable. Highly recommend coming to this establishment

I got a cover up tattoo. Patron does awesome work and he was so patient with me. All the artist that work there was so nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend this studio.

Walked in to Ud Ink for a cover up of a bright orange & green duck on my chest. Patron King worked with me on figuring out a design that reflects my personality and life. The staff was great and his apprentice Gee was awesome. Really look forward to getting my next piece done here!

Every one was super friendly and the piercing was quick and painless. Would go here again! And definitely recommend coming here for a belly button piercing ! Thank you:)

So HERE IS AN UPDATED. I recently, wrote a reviewed on my services I received, regarding my nose piercing, in which I didnt have the best experience with my nose piercing due to the proper jewelry was not properly utilized. (PLEASE READ MY EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOU DECIDED COME HERE FOR SERVICES.) The owner (Patron King) was even worse and very unprofessional. The owner advised that if I was dissatisfied with my services, I can reach out to the shop, in which I did. Now, I have realized the ONLY REASON WHY HE RESPONSE TO ANY NEGATIVITY REVIEWS, TO SEEM LIKE HE IS A PROFESSIONAL AND HE WANTS TO HELP BUT REALITY IS, ITS NOT TRUE AT ALL. I was upset originally because I recently received my nose piercing this past Friday and my nose swelled up so bad, my nose stud sunk in my nose, in which I had no choice but to take it out, the post was not long enough. Now, I would have explain that to the shop, if they were opened. I wasnt able to go into shop on Sunday (Easter) and of course they dont work on Monday. In which, I explain this to the Owner, and instead of him to correcting situation, he made it worst. When I finally got a chance to talk to him, he was very condescending, and very unprofessional with a bad attitude, like I was bothering him over services that I was dissatisfied with. Didnt offer my money or nothing. Saying I should have, outreach the shop before writing a bad reviewed, I did, and me talking to the owner wasnt no help. Now if he actually rectify the situation vs him saying just for show, I would updated the review, and not walk away feeling like I through my money away. SO I ADVISED, THAT YOU JUST GO TO ANOTHER SHOP, AND HAVE A BETTER EXPERIENCE IN ADDITION NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.Now, Ms Lynn was nice, however in regards to getting piercing, I would not recommend this place at all, with the pricing and she not using the correct jewelry. I should have listen to previous reviews, she didnt use the correct jewelry for my nose piercing. I went on Friday and got my nose piercing and my experience wasnt bad. Until I got home and of course my nose swell, and bleeding (thats all normal) in which a longer stem should have been use, because any piercing would swell, in which this should have been accountable for this . My nose earring started to stink in my nose making it extremely uncomfortable, I had to take it out after 3 days, MONEY down the drain, thats what really made me upset. She charge so much and there not even a selection. Now I have to wait until my nose heal before I am able to get it redone. PLEASE LISTEN TO ME, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO YOUR MONEY WONT GO DOWN THE DRAIN.

Went there to get a family style tattoo.My artist was Miesha , she was AMAZING, she drew up the image that I wanted and even added a little something extra ( with my approval of course) . My wife and I were so pleased with my tattoo that my wife scheduled an appointment for herself the following week !

Went and got my nose done today & I love it!! I would recommend Lynn to anyone!! She was super funny and sweet & she did it quick and easy. If you want a piercing I would recommend UD Ink & go to Lynn!!

I got my first tattoo today at UD INK tattoos. Michael Dean did a great job! Made me feel very comfortable! I would definitely recommend him to ppl to get there tattoo done!! I couldnt be more happy and proud of my tattoo!! Thanks again Michael!

Such a great experience. Mike was awesome and everyone who worked there was extremely friendly. Made us feel really comfortable while getting our tattoos. Made sure it was exactly what we wanted. Definitely recommend.

I called last minute on a Sunday to get some work done that i had been thinking about for a long timee. Patron got me right in and embraced the design and it looks fantastic. He has a very steady hand and was quick. I think i actually fell asleep while he was doning it. The shop was clean and the other people in there were very nice. Overall, it is the best tattoo experiencee i have had and will go back for sure!

I received a tattoo from Nicole, and I had an amazing experience. She explained the process beforehand, talked me through the best placement, and was so respectful and considerate the entire session. There was a time my bottom end was fairly exposed due to the placement of my tattoo. She offered for when people came inside to cover it some way if it made me more comfortable. She allowed me to take breathers or breaks when the needle was too much for my tolerance. She was welcoming, friendly, and casual - but so professional. It felt like a friend! I felt so comfortable. Her procedure was sanitary and clean.I loved it! My tattoo is clean and looks amazing and the experience was 100/10. Thank you Nicole!

Amazing tattoo shop, the work was top notch, but the people make this the best tattoo shop ive ever been to. Thank you very much to mike for doing a special cancer tattoo on my whole family to support my mother. Thank you to Patron for handling our group at the last minute and making sure we could suprise my mother, no matter how late they had to stay, and thank you to miss Lynn and everyone for being so kind and personable. I will definitely travel from Indianapolis to Dayton anytime i need ink. Cant say thank you enough to everyone. See you guys again for our easter weekend tattoos.

I visited this place two weeks ago. When I first walked in, we were not greeted at a reasonable time, and once a tattoo artist noticed us he said the piercer was not around and to stick around. As it was Sunday, many places wouldnt pierce so we waited. Ten minutes later Lynn walked in with her son and smelled like pure weed..it made me want to vomit..if it wasnt for my friend i would have left. We signed the papers and I was so excited to get my rook done. So she marked it and got ready to pierce it. Everything good so far. She went to pierce it and missed the first time, causing a huge rip in my cartilage, which I was unaware of because she didnt bother to tell me, we were accompanied by huge amounts of blood. She called her son in to try to pierce the same rook. He laid me down and pierced it a little smoother this time. He asked why I had a huge tear in my cartilage then blamed me for it. Lynn said it was a micro tear before I got the chance to look at it and told me you couldnt notice it. She cleaned me up a very little bit. They were still blood dripping down my ear when she stated she was finished with the cleaning. I had to ask for supplies to try to clean it up. I went home that night and cleaned it with my best friend. It was the most painful thing I ever went through in my life. The piercing wouldnt move at all, I thought maybe because it was swollen. My friend took a closer look and used a q tip to get two large blood clots out from under the ball on the bottom side. Once that was removed the piercing moved a bit more. A week after I got it pierced the rip began to heal and so did my piercing just a bit. But I noticed the top of my ear was extremely sore to touch and every time I bumped it I would cry.. I had to go to the doctor. Turns out, when they pierced it, the hit a nerve which is causing my ear pain that may never go away. I do not recommend this place..my ear is messed up now with the nerve pain and the scar I will have forever from the mistake they made.

Patron king is a beast !!!!!! I will definitely be gettting more work done by him and prices are great !!!!

I went in a few days ago to get a tattoo done for my little boy who is autistic and Patrone did an absolutely amazing job. It came out so vibrant/rich in color and looks beyond beautiful, the staff is very polite and they listen to what their customers have to say, and make sure you are as comfortable as possible. I WILL be going back for future ink.

Thank you Michael E Dean I cant wait to add some detail! Its been 6 years since my last tattoo. Ive only been in this city for 1 and 1/2 years and your shop is the first Ive ever set foot in. I didnt have a lot of money and you still found a way to make me feel welcome and gave me a wonderful reminder to never give up. Not to mention you let my 2 year old watch you color on me. Thank you so much. You have a customer for life! I cannot stop looking at my new art!

My butterfly is clearly not symmetrical.. and when I explained that the artist said “I don’t understand what you’re saying” … was in for the Friday the 13th flash sale. Ended up paying for my tattoo that night to come back in the next day, and was the first one in the door but was taken after two other people. We were told we could “go through the list from last night or I’m just taking them.” I tried to be a good sport and over look not being taken in order, but the unsymmetrical tattoo… disappointing.

Patron did a great job adding my mother’s name to my tattoo collection. It was also my first tattoo expo. Great experience all around.

If you want, need any ink come down to u.d ink there amazing place with amazing crew! My experience there was awesome did amazing job an was more than amazing price! Patron King is a beast! When Im stressing I love to go u.d ink best place to go hit them up for the best tattoos in Ohio! More than a professional place I will definitely will be coming back!

Very disappointed in my piercing and how they completed it. They lady was not able to complete the whole thing herself and had to ask for help. She had dropped the ball piece on the ground. As well as not making sure the area was cleaned before getting pierced. It also smelt like cigarettes inside which I do not think is very professional at all. I have many piercings and have gone to different locations this happen to be one of the most expensive with also being the worst experience getting pierced. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Mike Dean did my Michigan tatt it turned out great and he stayed in touch to see how my tatt was healing great job Id definitely recommend!! Patron mass props to you also he banged out 3 decent size pieces on my brother and did awesome go see these guys!!!

Miesha is an amazing artist! She has done about half of the amount of tattoos that I have. She is always professional and makes sure she’s doing what you want and how you like it!

Mike did my tattoo last night and it is so awesome!!! I went in with just an idea of what I wanted for my brother that had passed 4 months ago. I couldnt believe what he came up with, once he was finished I just wanted to cry. It was more than I ever excepted. I WILL be back ,Very happy!!!

I love my panda! Patron King (the owner) was WONDERFUL! He did exactly what I wanted. Id absolutely recommend him to ANYONE in the area! And he was really nice to me as well, which is also what i look for in someone Im going to spend a few hours with

Took my oldest daughter to get her nose pierced. Was in less than 30 minutes. Great staff and atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and will be back.

I went in with a friend who is getting a tattoo there and did not plan on getting one myself. His tattoo was so well done by King and he was such a nice guy that I decided to get one as well. What a great decision. I highly recommend him. My wife and I will be coming back for sure

I had a great time getting a tatt of 3 roses and my hubbys name. I had been nervous all day thinking about it because even though I have had previous work done, never had I had one done on my bust area. Patron was cool and professional and listened to what i wanted and came up with something great. I was able to take breaks my body needed for the 3 hr work. So recommend UD ink for tattoos!

Lynn was awesome with my daughter getting her ears pierced today. She was nervous and Lynn made her calm and it was over before she knew it. Thanks alot.

I went in for a nose piercing and was in and out! Thanks to momma Lynn she was so sweet and nice and she was super quick and my nose piercing look fantastic! I will definitely be back!

Completely chill atmosphere, I loved the hilarious banter the artists had going. And I had Patron do some fantastic work! His lines and colors are straight FIRE, and his free hand is amaazzzing!! Hope to see them again!

Miesha Irene has my forever gratitude. Not only is Miesha extremely talented but she also donated this tattoo to a Cancer Fundraiser for a childhood friend of mine. luckily I won and Miesha was happy to schedule me right when I reached out and was wonderful to work with. Thank you Miesha!

Love it! First thing he ask is what I wanted; he did not quote me with his shop minimum. I also liked the fact that he went over what will look good vs. what will not look good. Very cool guy to work with and did not rush. Love my new ink!

Michael Dean did my first tattoo yesterday. I had been looking for over 2 months to find someone who did work that I liked and I was referred to him by a friend and my sister. He was very professional and friendly, not to mention listened to what I wanted and made suggestions to make my idea better. That is what a good tattoo artist does in my opinion. I am so pleased that ive made another appointment to get my next tattoo exactly 7 days later and now entrusting him with my daughter to tattoo her as well. I highly suggest going to UD Ink Tattoos and asking for Mike. You wont be let down.*** I just realized I cant leave a 2nd review for the same company however, I wanted to give one more shoutout to Micheal Dean for the 2 other tattoos he gave me a little over a week ago. I got my foot and wrist done and dis my daughters as I said earlier. He helped me desigm the coolest tat for my foot that Ive ever seen and if you wanna check it out then xheck out their facebook page at UD ink. Mine is the feather with birds for my foot. He was professional and thoughtful of my wants and gabe me suggestions to make sure it turned out awesome. He checks in on my healing time and makes sure it still looks good after it heals which shows he cares about his work. If your looking for a good artist check out Michael E Deans facebook page for UD INK and itll show his work and you will see what all my shoutouts are about.

The environment at U.D. Ink .Tattoos is kind professional and clean. They use all new materials opened right in front of you and they take great pride in their work. My last tattoo is the best one Ive gotten so far. No scarring and there ink stays very well compared to my other tattoos.

Hii, I went into this shop in Huber about three days ago and let’s just say I was already skeptical about going in just because the shop looked ran down etc. but I went on to fill out paperwork and I was never told a price the whole time this female is trying to pull up my tattoo after the fact she said her starting price is $100 which is fine but for small words on my back and a small black butterfly with no color would be $300 another red flag .. you can tell this shop is money hungry. Another red flag is this big chick telling me that my tattoo would shrink so I had to get it way bigger then I wanted ... another red flag I’ve got many tattoos and mine never did that lol. Definitely a PASS

I went here last week to get my first tattoo they are all very friendly and very funny!! I got my tattoo done by Jason he made me feel very comfortable about getting my tattoo because I was kind of very nervous my mom loves them too so if you want to get a tattoo I would go to UD ink.

Mike was great!! I wanted a tattoo with my parents signatures and he replicated them perfectly. One the best experiences I’ve had while getting a tattoo. Everyone there is so kind and fun to be around. Thank you guys so so much!

I got a wonderful price that beat everyone else in the dayton area, Lynn did a wonderful job and Im definitely coming back again, Im very picky about who I see for both tattoos and piercings so I was nervous coming here for the first time but I loved it!

Lynn was awesome! She did my Daith piercings and I love them! I highly recommend UD Ink for piercings and ask for Lynn. She is the best!

I got my 3rd tattoo here on a whim yesterday. I wont go anywhere else! The staff made me feel right at home and they improved my subpar tattoo into something I adore. These folks are true artists with a vision. Thank you! Im sending my friends!

Me and my fiancee got tattoos from here. Absolutely wonderful tattoos!!!! We will be going back for some more! The artists are very professional. Very a clean environment.

Lynn wad awesome! Did my daughters septum quick and comfortable. Made us feel right at home. Whole staff was great. Highly recommend.

I got my dimples pierced here and Patron put in too short of labrets. When they first get pierced they need to be longer to allow for swelling. One of my cheeks swelled up and healed over the piercing in my mouth. Now ive got an infection and have to get them removed. I messaged the business and they took no responsibility for it, said that cheek piercings swell and its the clients job to take care of it. IF YOU KNOW THEY SWELL WHY NOT USE LONGER LABRETS TO ALLOW FOR SWELLING. Such an unprofessional business, i would not recommend!!!!!

I can guarantee your experience is going to last past the art you’ve received! The connection to care about the person not just the process is real! I have not an will not go anywhere else except for Miesha. The power that you’ve taken from your pain shows in the space you provide for your clients to be vulnerable during their time with you is remarkable ❤️‍🔥

Erwin is the best. Great customer service and prices. I would recommend him to anyone. I got two the at same time. He did the second one at the last minute. His work is amazing. They both turned out great.

Best tattoo experience. Patron does an amazing job. The shop has a good atmosphere. I will come here for all my work and I highly recommend everyone to come get some tattoos here!

Top notch tattoo parlor! 💯 The owner, Payton, is a great down to earth dude with awesome skills. Stop by and ask for Miesha, shes an absolutely amazing artist whos fast at putin in ink too! Thanks guys 🇺🇲

Fast, easy, and affordable! I absolutely love it and the placement. Thank you Lynn we will be back 😊 Lynn was so sweet and it helped me not be nervous.

Added some work to my wrist. One of my sisters had some work done as well. The team was really nice, pretty laid back. Already had drawn out what I wanted so made it easier for them. Mike did the work. Did a good job. Happy with the outcome so far.

I went and got my belly button pierced here. They did an amazing job. We got in and out pretty quickly the lady was so nice. I will probably go back for a nose piercing & possibly a tattoo

Patron did an amazing job. I have to admit it hurt like hell, but he was so patient and kind. I will definitely be going back for more tats. Absolutely 100% pleased.

They all were awesome! Very welcoming and so nice! Prices are great and Lynn (the piercer) was amazing ❤ highly recommend this place 👌

I cant begin to express in words how these wonderful people at UD ink Tattoos made my family their family. Mike completed 5 tats for the family to symbolize cancer with a k for my ma whom was recently diagnosed with liver and lung cancer. We spelled it kancer and he was able to incorporate this on every family member in a different manner. He was so compassionate and a true genuine person who takes pleasure in his work. We all thank you so much for being a part of this. As Patron, the owner, and Lynn embraced our whole family as well. This is the place we will all return to for all of our body art!!!! Thank you all so very much for all the memories.

Great place for piercings! They managed to squeeze me in and couldnt ask for a more laid back, friendly atmosphere! Will definitely be back for all my tattoo and piercing needs.

Went in with my boyfriend so he could get a tattoo. We were very pleased with the work that Mike did. Both Mike and Lynn were very friendly and the tattoo looks amazing.

Went in for another tattoo😁. It’s been almost a year since my last one. And Mike did a wonderful job as always. I want to thank all of you at UD ink. I feel like I’m going to see friends. Thank you all very much.

Got my septum pierced and it looks absolutely fantastic!! Loved the lady’s who did the piercing for me!! Will definitely be coming back for more tattoos and piercings in the future!!!

I love U.D. Ink best place in the world to get tattoos and wonderful easy going artist who can make anyone feel comfortable. Great quality professional art work done at a great price the environment is clean you couldnt ask for anything more in a business I recommend this shop to any tattoo junkie ;)

Mike did an amazing job on my Vegvisir tattoo. Very friendly and clean work area.

Love my tattoo. I got my sons name on my wrist by Mike, and it took like no time at all. Great prices, great people. Will be going back for more tattoos and piercings. GO HERE!!!!

Got tattooed by Brian. He was very sweet and professional! He brought my vision to life and was very patient. I would recommend this place to anyone! I will definitely be going back.

Friendly people ,great atmosphere , reasonably price I’ve had all my piercings done with Lynn.I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

My dad and I just got our tattoos and they were very nice and made up feel very comfortable for getting our first tattoo. Will definitely be going back and recommending others to go there.

The piercings ended up not being straight and after only one week, one rejected. The jewelry used as well was not the best for the piercings I received.

I got my first tattoo at UD Ink from Nicole, when I walked in, I felt so welcomed and they always made sure I was comfortable. I would highly suggest getting a tattoo from anyone there!

Definitely a place i recommend, I got my tats done by one of the artists (Jason) and i got my tongue piercing done there. Definitely feels like a family when you walk in and you hear something from everyone.

Just got back from getting a tattoo that Ive wanted forever and I love how it turned out. Mike is a great artist and everyone there is super friendly, Ill definitely be getting more done by him!

I am giving an F for FANTASTIC! Mr. Brian took his time & rechecked it & did the ultimate touches to my tattoo. I appreciate the professionalism he provided!!! Love the ultimate result......Happy customer!

Done by Vonnie. Great atmosphere and customer service. Really friendly, definitely recommend

It was a semi professional atmosphere. My son and I got tattoos. We werent informed on how to treat them. Were we supposed to put Vaseline on anything

Got a flyer on my vehicle stating prices for apprentice tattoos..... outrageous prices that look like cookie cutter stamps...... I dont need trash on my car and def dont want a tattoo from an apprentice. And anyone who pays 70 bucks for a tattoo from anyone but a pro is not very smart. It is illegal to charge for unprofessional tattooing by an apprentice. And I urge you guys to step up your promotion game....such a sad flyer......

Went here this Sunday on 8 6 17 for a birthday tat and an artist by the name Erwin and he was awesome I loved his work he was polite and kept me engaged in conversation he was also fairly quick but gentle and my tat turned out great.

Had a few piercings done here recently. Very friendly and professional environment. The piercer was very professional , explained the process thoroughly, and exacuted perfectly. Considering having ink work done here also.

I recieved a tat from a Michael E. Dean. It was very well colored and detailed he toom his time and was very helpful with the pricing. Pretty cheap if u ask me ☺ i love this place!!!! And i most certainly plan on comin back in the future!!!!

Patron King was awesome! He came in in the morning for same day tattoo! Professional, steady hand! I love my new ink! Thank you!

Best experience for my first tattoo its just like my dads

Lynn was amazing! She pierced my daughters nose and my daughter was super happy how she kept her calm and how professional and sweet she was.

Patron did an excellent job. great price for 3 tats. Friendly and I walked in. Ill be back! He cant sing though so prepare yourself for that. Haha

I absolutely recommend UD ink not only does he do awesome work but hes pretty kewl to chat with while getting the tat!!! Lil bruised was put in a sensitive spot but i absolutely love it!! Thanks Patron

Lynn was great with my piercing, I walked right in and was helped right away. Very friendly and sterile environment. I’d definitely go back again.

Patrone us the best. They are all so nice and friendly. And professional and clean. Recommend this place over any tat shop.Wish i could go back!

I received a memorial piece from Stephan Peterson and I couldnt be happier with it the shop was clean the people friendly and stephan gave me just the tattoo I wanted and more check him out foreal

Best piercing place I’ve found since moving to the area!! I needed to replace a hoop I’d had in my ear for years and couldn’t get out, and they were able to get it out with minimal pain and replace it!!! Thank God I found them!!

She did an amazing job! Super fast, well done, and just done greatly. Loved it and highly recommend for piercing and tattos!! Thank you so much!

Down to Earth group of talented pro tattoo artists and they also do piercings!!! Highly recommended. Just go check them out and see for yourself.

Patron and his team were so friendly, everyone made us feel comfortable. Patron pays close attention to detail and works fast. It’s a great place for anything big or small. Thank you!

I love the crew! It’s always a good time being surrounded by them & I love the work! I’ve been going to Miesha since I’ve been 18

Super easy process and very nice while walking me through it. I was super nervous and she was really nice! Everyone there is so friendly and they’re very professional, I definitely recommend this business to everyone :)

Stephen did an amazing job on a memorial tattoo for my son. It turned out so much better than I thought it would.

Went in to get a belly piercing and it was the worse decision I made. Cool dude but the lady who does piercings does NOT know what she’s doing. My placement was way off.

My neice just had her lip peirced by Lynn. She did a great job and was super nice. My neice is really happy. I may need to come in for some work of my own soon. 😉

Stephan did my tattoo, a great guy that knows what hes doing, and you cant beat his prices

Easy and quick piercing! Barely even felt it. The workers are friendly & have great customer service.

Visited UD ink a few weeks ago, absolutely LOVE my new ink, by far my favorite tat!! Patron is a great artist!

Everyone was very nice and Lynn was very gentle when piercing my nose. Would definitely recommend

I started out going in to have a tattoo fixed and i turned him into my go to artist. Patron King has done wonderful work and will go back to him again and again.

I havent got any work done here so I wont say anything to harsh but look at the pictures before you make a decision where to go. I mean I was just googling places to go and came across this place and thought Id look at the pictures and I couldnt believe what I was seeing.
