Mike G. At Monkey Bones is the only artist I will go to to get ink done. I had the best first time tattoo experience. He was professional, yet laid back and talkative, and made you feel comfortable. I am planning on scheduling my next appointment for a back piece! :)

Been stood up 3 x by an artist at Tattoo Tech in Moraine. Never once got a call to let me know he couldn’t get to me. I have good money to spend on a good tat. Can’t believe that after setting up appointments I am told I would have to wait for 2 hours or that I was just not getting ink’d that night. WTF. There is alot ot be said about professionalism. If you can’t make an appointment……CALL YOUR CLIENT!!!

Am looking for another shop with a great artist,

By seriously?

My wife and I ahve gotten several tats by Spyder at Krazy Katz and he is really good, but he”s no longer there. They still have great artists there though. I would totally stay away from Mystery Ink. We had tats done there by someone I know even and both my wife and I got staff infections. This was Dec 30th and other artists say I need to give 6 to 9 months more before they can fix how horrible they look. Tattoo tech is a rip off too. I’ll try Mokey Bones on all the good press…

MONKEY Bones is the only place I will go from now on. I’ve only gotten one tat there, but in my experience, it’s definitely night and day from other places, such as East Dayton Tatoo—Glen F. He was the biggest a$$hole, very rude and full of himself, to the point that I almost walked out in the middle of getting my tat done. I’ve went there for two piercings and that guy was cool, but Glen is a dick. His work kinda sux too. Hopefully he reads this cuz I ain’t the only one sayin it in Dayton.

I’m from down around Cincy & I’ve been to 5 of the shops listed here.

It’s TRUTH OR TRIUMPH! Great artist, Great People, & a Great Atmosphere!

I gotta say I was devastated when Dave Ski left the Dayton area (I even followed him to Columbus) Then BOOM! Gone again. It took me almost five years to find an artist that I could trust to do excelent work and work with me not against me. Mike G. at Monkey Bones is the answer. I get compliments on his work on a daily basis, everywhere I go. Monkey Bones HANDS DOWN!!!!! The rest of you dumb f@%*’s need to take a lesson!

Monkey Bones…Andy Blair. You can get a good tattoo at Truth and Triumph, you can also get told what they won’t put on you and that they don’t use colors….that was my experience. They treated me like an idiot and they were rude. I think the experience is also about how you are treated and the artists at Monkey Bones will listen and do what you want and not what “they” think is good enough to put on you…. A tattoo is a very PERSONAL thing.
