DON”T GO TO GLENN SCOTT I got 2 tats there and they both need to be re-done!! Not only that, when I went back, Caleb, my apprentice who brags of smoking pot before tattooing, stole my $3000.00 diamond necklace, refused a polygraph and everyone there helped him in his scheme of lies and theft. My tats are blurry, blotchy, have scarry areas in them, where he made me bleed cuz he said he had plastic stuck in his needle. This was on my wrist. On the back of my neck, it was supposed to be dark in the center and fade lighter around the edges. It doesn’t even remotely resemble that, and it bled outside the outline, just like on my wrist. I couldn’t tell cuz of the bleeding, and this was just supposed to be a touch up!!!! If you want a good tat, don’t go there. The prices are too high and the quality is NOT there. I also got my nipple pierced and it was at an angle… figures, right? DON’T GO THERE….AND NEVER LET CALEB TATTOO YOU OR HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Stretch’s Tattoo’s in Dayton, at 3353 needmore road, is the best tattoo shop in the area! Stretch has been a professional tattoo artist fir over 20+ years, great atmosphere, excellent customer service, and your guaranteed to get a awesome tattoo. Stretch’s has the lowest prices in Dayton for awesome tattoos! Unlike other tattoo shops, stretch is the only tattooist at Stretch’s! So you don’t have to wonder who will tattoo you, or get someone different each visit. Stretch’s makes sure you walk away happy, and with what you want, and not break the bank doing it.

I think the BEST TATTOO SHOP IN DAYTON is Oasis Tattoo Company on Woodman Dr. I have gotten a tattoo there and a piercing. I used to go to what is now known as Smartbomb but I thought I’d give Oasis a try and I am so glad I did. My first tattoo came from Glenn Scott’s Shop. When I walked out of there I knew I was never going back. I have a few more tattoo’s to get and I will only go to Oasis Tattoo Company. My favorite artist there is Spyder but the resy of the guys a great there as well.

I vote classy…and Peptide Tattoo Studio wins every time. Matty’s portfolio is amazing…his clients are loyal….and the vibe in the shop is fantastic. If you’ve been around,There’s nothing like going into a tattoo shop for the first time and getting the snob-treatment….so it really makes sense that Peptide Tattoo wins with loyal customers, fantastic artwork and a great experience. Wake up folks!! Customers care about the art and the experience….not the Dayton Area Tattoo Shop Politics

In response to Valerie Wesco-Barker’s question as to why Extreme Tattoo in Piqua is on here and her shop, A&A Ink in Troy isn’t, I would say it all comes down to the fact that her one and only artist is a hack. Plus the fact that everyone in the area knows that Extreme uses the money the shop brings in to pay their employees and maintain their supplies and taxes and NOT to take to the methadone clinic to get themselves clean. They don’t owe $20,000+ in back taxes. Quit hatin’ and shut up!!!

Obviously none of you would have been nominated if you didn’t have clients that respect and trust you. Everyone had a fair to chance to raise votes for themselves. No one controls on who votes or why, regardless if you have a tattoo or not, but word of mouth can make or break you. I had the understanding that all of you were a close knit group of artists that supported each other regardless of what shop you work at. All of you should be grateful for the advertising that you will receive.

I have never seen so much childish BS about who is the “best” tattoo artist - you can have opinions but to say someone is the best, you are judging something you truly know very little about..every client who slams artists who don’t give them free tattoos (YES, that’s how they get their following!). I’d like to see them do the work themselves & see how easy it is! I have NEVER met a tattoo artist without an enormous ego (especially Mr & Mrs Personality Plus Friesen, rudest couple EVER)

What amazes me in this poll, is the fact that most of the people voting, are people that have never had a tattoo. They are just here because of the begging on MySpace and Facebook! Not that it’s the business doing the begging, but other people doing it for them. I’ve been tattooed by several different people, from several of these shops, and seen work from most of the others. So my vote goes to no one! My advice…Strive to be the best but never accomplish it! You’ll loose your edge!

To YEP - if you’d really done research, you’d see Matty’s done shows in Boston, etc across the US - his work has also been featured in major Tat Mags & newspapers. He’s worked for other shops including in Cincinnati, taking clients with him from over the years and opened up his own shop in Carlisle. Don’t know where you did your “research,” but maybe the best research would be just to show up at his shop and check him out. 20 yrs of just hanging out a tat shop shingle doesn’t make you the BEST!

I’ve promoted on myspace and facebook, and notified friends/clients. All of the votes are legit. ps. as far as the excellent shops with few votes, they don’t exactly need this. and we’re cool with most of these shops, so we’re not running our mouths or deleting myspace friends..

had some tattoos done a few years back at tattoo tech in huber. they looked good and i felt comfortable and welcome at the shop. but over the past year or so, one of the piercers “practices” tattooing on customers. the tattoos look like crap and the manager lets this go on! he even thought it was funny when the guy butchered a young man’s arm. even if the customer knew that the piercer was inexperienced and let him do it anyway, i think it gives the shop a very bad name! i won’t be returning!

20 years ago I had just turned 18 and I stopped by Glen Scott’s shop way up north Main St. and there were a bunch of guys hanging out there that either worked there or thought it was cool to just hang out a tattoo shop. Anyway, I was pretty new to tattoos so I asked a couple questions and they people there were so superior and confrontational and seemed like they were trying so hard to keep up their “tough guy” image that I was pretty turned off by the whole scene.

i only have two modes: off, and Beast. the only mode you got is “sucker”. clip cord covers and gloves are for sissies.

me how awful it looks! Wellllll, its already on me and unless I am asking you to cover it up, I probably LIKE my tattoo and for an artist to say bad things about it thinking that may help them get my business, they’re completely wrong. That makes me not want to ever come back to them! So maybe all of you should stop saying bad things about each other and just promote yourself if you think you are the best. Coming from a customers perspective, I don’t want to hear what you think about other shops, I want to hear the things that you think make your shop the best. And if your too busy bashing other shops, then obviously that’s the only way you feel you can get new customers. Well just so you know, talking bad about other shops will def not help you gain my business. In fact, it will do the exact opposite.

And just to state my opinion on some things, I worked at Modified Skin when they first opened. I did the counter and was slowly picking up piercing. I no longer work there and now work at another shop but I am going to speak up on your crap talking because I have ACTUALLY been in this shop and was a part of it at one time. The owner Josh, is a good artist! He doesn’t claim to be the best and he is always honest about that. His work keeps getting better and better and he’s always been focused on learning new things and improving! Justin Sands, the other tattoo artist came from Krazy Katz and has amazing talent! The environment is fun and laid back! No one is ever rude to a customer and its impossible to not laugh when your there! Everyone at Modified Skin treats their customers like a friend, not just someone they are trying to get money from! They may not be the ‘Best of Dayton’ but hands down, they are the friendliest shop around and their work is still good!

I think this is stupid how everyone is talking crap about each other. If you don’t like a shop, then don’t go there!! Talking crap about each other isn’t going to make your business any better, it just makes you look ignorant. Why would I want to go to a shop that talks crap about other shops? I want to go to a shop that has respect for other shops and appreciates my business. I think its extremely rude when I go into a new shop and show them work from another shop and an artist proceeds to tell

i too think its sad that not all of the “22” shops listed in dayton made the list, not sad they are not on it but sad that they either do poor work or are forgettable enough just to be left out:( looks like the trophy again will be leaving the city, hahahahah. sucks to be one the shops that doesnt have 235,000 friends on there “bands MS or FB friends list” so they can spam then for votes. cant we all just get along?

Best tattoo parlor? Isn’t that an oxymoron? There’s no such thing as a good tattoo parlor because all tattoos are gross—especially when they’re on pretty women. Why would any sane person want to cover his or her body with graffiti?

They are sterile, gorgeous tattoos, and I feel at the exact perfect price! When you visit Chad Wells you have made the decision to have the absolute best!

They are friendly and they want you to come back. Not just to take your money but because they enjoy the people who come in.

Doer said nothing wrong. In fact he or she is not the only one to use all caps. There is no need to trash talk people who are simply giving a compliment to any shop, regardless of the artist/shop. I am close friends with several of them and they are all good. Like it was said below - this is the reason the tattoo industry is messed up because of those who are more defensive about themselves and can not stand to read positive feedback about others.

this one goes out to Modified tattoos, when your the only person saying good things about your shop, do reslly expect any one to belive you? and for all the peeps at “smart bomb” who think the’ve been cheated, perhaps your not on the list because yours are the most covered up or having to be reworked tattoos ive seen in a long time. but on a good note there is alot of talent in dayton and as long as your happy with what you got, hats what is important.

I am actually with the Ohio compliance department. I do reviews of many tatoo shops across the state. I was seeing that many listed here are behind on their taxes. While they may be talented artists. it does seem that many can not run their business. I visited one on the list and I saw two gentleman partaking in what I call homosexual activities. Kind of sad as I think it was for some tatoo work. I did imediately leave the facilities and came back a few weeks later.

Smart Bomb should be on this list. Those guys, along with every other shop on this list, do great work and should have had a shot at winning.

I have personally met quite a few of the artists that work at these shops and every one of them is great at what they do.

Our shop is a bit too new to be considered for “Best in Dayton”. We will put in our time and maybe one day we will earn that honor. For now… let’s just keep doing great tattoos on everyone!!!

I have had work done at a few shops in the area and wasn’t satisfied with the work from the first two shops at all. Someone told about Josh from Modified Skin and I have been hooked since. The first tat I got from him was when he was in his home studio and he was more professional in his home studio than the first two shops I was in. I have since had 3 more tattoos done in his shop and recommend him highly to everyone. He does beautiful work and I will never go anywhere else.
