After researching shops, I came across Designs by Dana and sent a message. Ryonen reached out to me within 24 hours and we discussed my request to replicate his paw print but I also wanted it to look "pixilated". She said she would be more than happy to work on this and we scheduled my appointment for after the New Year. The shop was clean, and Ryonen was very friendly and professional explaining every step and helped me decide where to place the tattoo. She was very patient when I asked her to slightly revise the initial pixilation of the template. I had a great experience with my first tattoo and am already thinking about what to do next as I will definitely be returning in the future for a second!

At first I really liked this shop and would love to give it more stars but unfortunately there are…read moremany cons as well as pros. First shop is clean, bright & welcoming. My artist took her time on design and placement. They use vegan ink. Now the cons, even though they say your touch up is free within the first 6 months that's only if your artist doesn't leave to go to a different shop. Mine left and I was told my "free" touch up could be done but would now cost the new artist's minimum price... which would be $150 or more depending on the artist I chose to do the work. It was not my fault that my artist left... but hey, if you aren't willing to stand behind the work the artists do while employed by your shop or make sure your customers are content and happy with the work that was done in your shop...if your willing to risk your shop's name and reputation because you feel you shouldn't be held accountable for a touch up that was no fault of the customer then that speaks volumes for your character and your business practices. Queen Ink seems very disorganized at best, or at worst like they don't care about getting back to clients who inquire about getting work done. I had 2 tattoos done at Queen Ink within 2 months. Both times I had to make multiple requests for quotes before anyone would get back to me. Both times with Queen Ink I finally sent a 2nd request after the 9th day with no response. If you can afford to lose business then by all means don't answer your emails in a timely manner, however that gives the impression that you don't need the business or care about the customer inquiries... Secondly, they are very expensive and when you receive confirmation that your tattoo was accepted you are asked pay a non-refundable deposit for the work, which is fine. However it specifically states that the deposit will be deducted from the tattoo price given in the quote. It is not. For both of my tattoos I was asked to pay the quote price as well as the deposit ($30 and $40). My daughter was as well. This is in addition to the tip. On both of my quotes I was given a price range that my work would fall in and both time I was of course charged the highest price. When you pay the deposit you are able to use a credit card or PayPal, however when you pay the actual quote for the work you have to pay with either cash or with Venmo which makes me wonder if they are claiming all of their payments on taxes. I would prefer to use a card to pay as I have a record of payments and there is also some consumer protection with using a card that you don't get with cash or Venmo. Other tattoo shops in Cincy will take your payment using a card. Another con is that with both of my tattoos, as well as my daughter's, there were inconsistencies in the work (thinner lines and missing areas) that required touchups. Finally everything is done through email. Every other shop I've been to (Skincraft in Cincinnati and Mothers in NKy) welcomes you to stop in and discuss your design (even on a walk in basis), get a quote, & make an appt. to come back later to have the work done. Pretty in Ink in NKY was also extremely helpful and got back to me the very same day I inquired. While I do like the work this shop did, they don't seem client friendly at all. Honestly, I know you're an artist, but if I'm paying for your work then I do expect a certain amount of professionalism that I don't feel I got here. I got the feeling they felt they were doing me a favor by allowing me to have my tattoos done there instead of having the feeling of gratitude for their customer. As I said you are the artist, but you are working for the client. With a tattoo shop in almost every neighborhood in Cincinnati (and sometimes more than one) I'm not sure this is the kind of attitude to have. I ended up having my next tattoo done at Pretty In Ink in Dayton, Ky. Mandy, the owner, was amazing. I will be going to her from now on. She did a new tattoo and was able to do the touch up I needed on the tattoo that your artist did since you don't seem to feel the need to uphold your shop policy or retain customers.
