Black Cloud Tattoo

Got some fresh ink by a friend (Patti) who is apprenticing here. Loved the atmosphere; the other artist who wasn’t even working on me was so friendly (Lola) and they all made me feel so comfortable. Definitely wanna come back ASAP!

10/10. Kevin did a fantastic job and I am absolutely obsessed. He was so kind and personable during my tattoo too which definitely makes a tattoo experience.

I love the atmosphere and feel very comfortable getting work done here; the music playlist, everyone is so friendly, and I’m very happy with the two pieces that I’ve had done by Patti!

Once again, my man Coffee came thru big time for me with some ink that was very important to me... took a little time, but you cant rush perfection. And Ill be back in a few weeks after I heal to get more.

I use Kevin to do my tattoos! He is so professional and is amazing with his work. He latest one he actually designed and drew up for me by me just telling him what I wanted and showing him some examples. It came out so amazing!!!! I won’t go anywhere else, black cloud is my tattoo shop!

Cannot say enough good things about this place! Scott is my go to artist and he is amazing. He listens to my ideas and always does an amazing job turning them into something great. Hes done 5 tattoos for me so far, is finishing up my sleeve now and designing a big leg piece for me next.Honestly, all of the artists there are great. Everyone is super nice and professional. They have great pricing and a clean studio. I dont plan on going anywhere else!

This is where I got my first tattoo and I had a wonderful experience! Both the artists I met where very kind and welcoming! The artist who did my tattoo (Lola) did an amazing job and I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out!

I had a walk in session done by the owner and the entire process went as smoothly as could have been hoped for! He was very engaging with conversation, was very quick and light handed while tattooing and the tattoo itself turned out even better than I could have even imagined. I’ve been wanting to get tattooed here for many years and this first time appointment was all I dreamed of and more. Will definitely be returning for many years to come. Cant wait to have more amazing work from Black Cloud!

Great looking shop and very clean however my artist Lola made me feel very uncomfortable with their comments about my looks and body, and would misgender me and not correct themselves. Lola was also very heavy handed on my bat tattoo and when I tried to express this, they made me feel as though I was overreacting. Not a great experience especially from someone who is an apprentice.

My artist Chloe did such a great job on my two tattoos. She was very quick, professional, and made my first tattoo experience fantastic. I’ll definitely be returning to this establishment because of this artist!

This is absolutely the best shop! Would never go anywhere else! Every single one of their incredible artists are professional, friendly, and super cleanly! This shop is like a second home and their tattoos are second to none! There is an artist for everything here! And they will help you find the right person for the tattoo you want! My entire family gets tattooed here, and everyone knows us by name! The owners are awesome! Honestly, could go on forever about how much I love this place💕

I love all the work Kevin Byers has done on me, my older brothers, and my moms tattoos! He does an amazing job and is so friendly! The staff here is great! Wouldn’t want anyone other than Kevin tattooing me! Highly recommend!

Coffee did a great job and the price was great as well. Clean place cool atmosphere and laid back. Definitely will be getting more ink done.

I usually go to Scott to get my tattoos done. His touch his so light, that even hours into a tattoo, I feel no skin irritation. This isn’t even my favorite part about going to him to get tattooed. His art is absolutely amazing. You can give him any idea and he will draw a truly unique, mind-blowing piece. My tattoos have always healed perfectly. I have people ask me questions about them all the time.All the artist at this shop are amazing. Kevin has many years of experience under his belt. This is evident in his work. His tattoos are beautiful! The shop has awesome furniture around the store that he made. I love them!I love how this shop doesn’t have people who just do tattoos, but it is full of artist who choose to tattoo because it is what they love doing.

I have been going to this shop for years. All of my tattoos done by Kevin are still wonderful and vibrant years later. Awesome work. Amazing atmosphere. Clean environment. I have never had work done by other artists there as of yet but I can tell you they’re amazing.

Kevin has been tattooing me since the first week he started doing tattoos. He’s probably done about 80% of the work I have and I love all of them. He does great work and he’s just a fun guy to be around. Last time I was in Ohio he did this ufo abduction scene for me. That was over a year ago and the colors still look amazing. The dagger next to it was the first color tattoo he ever did back when he started.

1.) Great artists, not just people with ink and machines, these folks are all skilled artists.2.) Clean shop and proper sanitary procedures followed.3.) Central easy to find location.4.) Causal welcoming environment.I have been here 4 times this past year for various works (completed by Scott) and each and every time has been a fantastic experience with the best results. I highly recommend looking at this shop for your tattoo needs/wants the quality is top notch and they have several artists here with varying styles so you can find a match for your vision.Check em out!Big thanks to everyone at Black Cloud.

I went to Scott for my first tattoo, best decision i could have made! He’s very serious and passionate about the work he does. I told him a few ideas about what i wanted and he came to me with a perfect design. The tattoo he gave me is very detailed and so so gorgeous.Not only does he do an outstanding job, he also is gentle and makes sure you’re comfortable before, during, and after the process.I will definitely be coming back to him if i choose to get another tattoo!

The best shop Ive been to! Kevin is my guy and I love the work he does! He turned a really terrible tattoo into a beautiful cover up I never imagined could happen! All the artists at this shop are great and I highly recommend this shop :-)

Justin is the best! (Although everyone there seemed really nice). They do great work for a reasonable price. Always willing to discuss the details, any concerns you have, and try to fit your design ideas as close as possible.I won’t go anywhere else for a tattoo!

I LOVE this shop! Just had a beautiful piece done by Kevin Byers, and it is hands down my favorite tattoo so far! If you’re looking for incredibly amazing talent, a clean, laid back, fun atmosphere, and super fair prices you have to get to this shop! All the artists here are awesome!!

Justin Babs is an amazing artist! He really appreciates his clients and really puts his all into his work! He is understanding and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone. The owners are also very nice and polite. I love this place!

Got my first tattoo last weekend, a mother son bonding moment! I can’t say enough about these guys. My son told Scott how scared I was, so when it was my turn, he changed the music to a Motown station to help put me at ease. Before I knew it I was singing along with the songs as he was working on my tattoo!!! My daughter also got her first tattoo, Kevin did an AMAZING job with her!!! Thank you for the experience!!!! ALL were so supportive and friendly!!!!

Kevin Ray Byers has been doing my tattoos for going on 5 years, he is outstanding as and artist and even more as a person! He is very knowledgeable in his artwork, not only in tattooing but making something out of nothing for example making lamps out of old cameras and tables out of suitcases. 💯💖His creativity definitely runs through his veins. He is an amazing cover up artist, I have several from him and it’s some of the best. Good vibes when you walk into his shop💯

The owner Kevin has done 98% of all my tattoos and they’re all amazing. He takes pride in his work and it definitely shows. All the artists are great and I always recommend this shop to anybody looking for an awesome tattoo.

My daughter and I got our first tattoos here at Black Cloud. We got Matching mother daughter tattoos. Justin was awesome and did a great job on them. We were both really happy with them. Pretty sure I won’t get another but my daughter will be back for many more!

This was my first tatto experience and coffee did a great job of educating me and also calming my fears and stress. Coffee did a great job on my tattoo so much so that I’m already thinking about my next one, and there is no place I would go but back to Black Cloud. I extremely enjoyed the atmosphere and everyone there was so nice and personable. If anyone is out there looking for great artists and a really great place, go see Black Cloud.

Scott was amazing. Being my first ever tattoo, I wasnt sure what to expect. He made it so easy and answered any and all questions I had throughout and after. Definitely felt like he cared about us and the art we were putting on our body, paying close to attention to some specific details that made our work even more special to us. No shortcuts, will definitely be back for more work in the future.

I had a great experience at Black Cloud! Kevin was awesome. He modified the drawing of the tattoo I chose to be more in line with what I wanted. The vibe of the shop was cool and laid back. I’m already making plans to go back to have Kevin revive an old tattoo and get another one.

Black cloud Has an AMAZING set of artists, Also they are not only good artist. They are nice and helpful. And my favorite of all Justin Barbarino has worked on my tattoos for about 5 years now and every single one has been Beautiful. I will continue to get my tattoos here for as long as I possibly can!

Came in and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day and was able to work with my favorite artist and the person took care of making two of my favorite tattoos. Would definitely recommend this shop not only for the atmosphere but for the people who take their time to do great work and make sure at the end of the day you’re as happy as you had ever hoped. Can’t wait to come back in! 😁

Scott is my favorite tattoo artist! All of his work he has done for me has come out amazing! Very few people Ill deal with and Scott is the top of my list. Couldnt believe happier with the several tattoos he has put on me.

This is hands down the BEST tattoo shop in the Miami Valley!!!! They not only do amazing work , they make u feel like family… If u want a tattoo GO GO GO …: I will be getting ALL my future tats here❤️🔥

Wish I could give you ten stars. Very professional, clean, personable, 10/10 I would recommend Black Cloud to everyone I know. Every artist in this establishment gives their 100 and you can see that in their art work. Justin “BABS” is my go to artist. I mean I have only gotten three pieces In less then a year! Plus one more set for May.

Justin is a total Pro. First tattoo and didnt really know what to expect. He handled the whole process very professionally. It turned out perfect. Have gotten many compliments. Facility is clean. Would highly recommend.

Black Cloud has a very friendly, laid back comfortable atmosphere. Everyone there is very nice and very talented. I’ve had several pieces done by Kevin, who’s an amazing artist. I highly recommended Black Cloud Tattoo to anyone.

Kevin Ray Byers is the bomb-diggity!!!! I wouldn’t go 2 another tattoo artist if u paid me 2! Kev has done all of mine & my daughter’s tattoos & now does my oldest sons!!! Kevin & Scott there are so down 2 earth, great artist & all around great guys! Black Coud is a very clean & friendly business!!!! & I highly recommend it!!!!

I have been going to this shop for 2 years now and been tattooed by Kevin and Justin who are both very talented and professional. Every artist here brings their own unique style to the table and are all extremely talented. The shop has an awesome aesthetic and is clean. I will never go anywhere else

Justin Babs Barbarino did an amazing job on my business logo tattoo! I couldnt be happier with the results. The whole shop was clean and comfortable. Everyone was very friendly. I cant wait to go back for my next one!

The artists are friendly, fun, and professional. The shop is tidy and simple yet cool. Coffees work is great!! I love his cartoon/animated stuff. Theres an artist at the shop for every style tattoo you might want to get.

This Shop Is Amazing. Great Atmosphere! All Of The Artist Are Excellent. Scott Woodward Has Done 2 Of My Tattoos So Far And I Dreamed Of The Quality I Wanted And He Exceeded All Expectations!

The place was clean and the staff was great. The person that done my tattoo was not to good. I have had a few experts tell me it seemed rushed. It has been over 4 months and you can see all the missed spots and the splotchy parts. I have heard great things about the owner but I won’t go back. It’s gonna cost me more money to get it fixed. It does not look like a crisp clean tattoo that you would want forever. Had high hopes because the are close to my house, but I guess I should have done more research.To update you all. It has been past 9 months now. I did go in and talk to one of the owners who did try to fix the mistakes made by the girl there. However he being one of the new owners and new to doing tattoo made the same mistakes. I called Chris the 1st owner and made an appointment to come in so he could fix , but when I was told to come in he was not there. He flew to LA for a convention. This place only cares about the money, and they show that by allowing a person to walk around with there tattoo on them as terrible word of mouth advertising. Dont waste your money and do research people. I rushed and they were close by my house, but now it will cost me way more to cover it up. It was a big regret of my life going to this place. The only upside is that the shop is clean.

I came in to sit with my boyfriend who had an appointment with coffee who is AMAZING.. While sitting there i asked about covering up a tattoo.. Kevin Ray Byers made something i hated to look at into something i cant quit looking at! I already have MORE work in mind and will ONLY come here. There is definitely an artist for everyone. Cant wait to come back!!

I absolutely love this place. I have quite a few tattoos and from many different artist but Noone compares to Kevin. He does a fantastic job, awesome personality, and the shop is clean. I highly recommend getting a tattoo from here. 😊

I’m very disappointed with my experience here. I got a tattoo that meant a lot to me, it was a scar cover up from a traumatic event. A small scar, but one that bothered me nonetheless. I went in and talked to Kevin Byers about my tattoo. We worked on it and he stenciled it out and everything. He was very personable and when the tattoo was finished he put Saniderm on it. I went to take off the saniderm to finally see my tattoo that I’ve been waiting to get for a couple years now, and I see there are skips in the lettering, the first letter was messed up and there was a patch in the rose. I understand going over scar tissue is hard, but these spots really just looked like they were missed. I talked to Kevin about it because I tipped $30 so I figured fixing it would be no big deal. He was very rude about fixing it and I still don’t have it fixed. I had this done in January. It’s very disheartening because this was such an important tattoo for me, and it had so much meaning behind it. I feel like he just didn’t take me seriously.

Excellent tattoo shop. I get my work done by Coffee, but all of the artists in the shop are amazing. Super friendly and laid back atmosphere, no egos like you find at some other tattoo shops. Highly, highly, highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing experience for my first tattoo. The staff was very helpful. Kevin did great on my tattoo. I love it and would highly recommend him!

Kevin comes through every single time with absolutely stellar work. I recommend Black Cloud to every friend and family memeber I have that’s looking to get tattooed. Very cool and clean shop environment as well!

I went to see Justin Babs Barbarino several months ago to start my journey on a sleeve tattoo. I came with him with a vision and an idea of what i wanted and Justin quickly turned it into reality. I couldnt be more happier with the tattoo I have and cant wait till get more done by him.

The person did an amazing job. Did 4 tattoos in a good amount of time plus the cost of them was good. Definitely recommend them

My wife and i got new matching tattoos today for our Anniversary gift to each other. Kevin Ray was our artist. Great job and a good price.

Kevin is a real good tattoo artist. I love my tat. Nice atmosphere in the shop...no weirdos hanging out all the time!!!

If you don’t get a tattoo here you are missing out on some great guys! Justin Barbarino did mine and got to hang out with other guys in the shop. Great, clean place and some great artists!!! Thanks again Justin!!!

Clean, friendly & professional environment. Justin Babs Barbarino is my favorite tattoo artist; I recommend him and this particular shop to anyone looking for a positive tattooing experience.

Kevin has done my full sleeve as well as my other tattoos I have. Always clean, professional and kind. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been to Coffee several times and he is amazing! He is a great artist and can take any idea I have and make it exactly what I envisioned. Everyone in the shop is very nice and professional

Loved it! Great care was taken for my first tattoo and I couldnt be happier. Justin Barbarino took a great deal and time to make sure I was happy.

Ive gotten 3 tattoos from Justin Barbarino, and Im sure Ill get more! I give him my vague ideas and he always blows me away by taking my words and making them a reality in a better way than I had imagined. He knows how to make the designs work with your body, and on my last one he managed to expand and update a piece I got 20 years ago (which I can imagine is a bit limiting for an artist). During my time in the shop last week I saw several of the other artists doing great work, and all the customers seemed very satisfied. The vibe is relaxed, and there is no ego or judgment. Cant wait to go back!

I’ve gotten 3 tattoos done by Scott Woodward. I’m so happy with all of them and can’t wait to have him do more. I won’t ever let anyone else tattoo me.

Does Kevin still work there? If so, do you do appointments only or do you do walk in too sometime? My last tattoo I had done by kevin when he was in the process of leaving blue byrd. Looking to coming in as soon as possible!

I absolutely love my tattoo. It was my first one and I wanted it for my mom on her birthday. I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you to the owner for doing this for me. Its much appreciated .
