I am over the moon with my two tattoos from True Love Tattoo Parlor! I worked with Samantha a few…read moreweeks leading up to my appointment. Being from Dayton, but living on the other side of the state now, she was incredibly flexible with my schedule. She has such a soft touch and asked often how I was feeling (they were my firsts!) She has such a calming and trusting presence and is so sweet in person. She made my ideas come to life so beautifully and I will forever be grateful. The parlor is located in Dayton, Ohio, near the Belmont area. Inside, the walls are lined with fun sketches from inside artists, as well as others. The parlor is very well lit and you can tell that each artists stations have individual touches - which I appreciate! They have several seating options inside in the "lobby" area and plenty of parking spots off to the left of the building.

He welcomed me as soon as I came in and made me feel at home while he prepared my tattoo. I was comfortable for what was a long process due to the size and nature of the tattoo he was covering up. The artist were friendly and engaging talking to us while Robert did the Lords work. I am so happy with the result and so happy with my experience. I highly recommend and can't wait to return for more.

If tattooing was a breakfast then Alex Cooper and Gem City would be the Bacon. The cleanliness,…read morecustomer service, and overall vibe of Gem City Tattoo and Alex Cooper are second to NONE. Alex's patience and him being his worst critic creates a concoction of epic talents. Alex should be carried to work on a golden throne and only be allowed to use a golden gun and needles when tattooing. His level of talent and art can only be compared to that of Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent Van Gogh. Alex is the Gem in Gem City Tattooing. If you are contemplating a tattoo go see Alex Cooper before he becomes a tattoo reality tv star on Spike TV because it is only a matter of time before his talents outgrow Dayton Ohio.

There's plenty of comfortable seating while I waited. The gentleman (he was the older of the two men working that day) who did my nails was kind and we had a nice conversation. What really impressed me the most is how long this gel manicure has lasted/continues to last! I visited almost three weeks ago and the photo I attached was from a few minutes ago. I am amazed at the fact that the gel is still on my nails!
