Service started out great and then went downhill. I guess after they have you in the door they know you can't go elsewhere. Olivier is great, the rest are average at best. Would not recommend for the money! read more

I love Nightshade! I've gotten several tattoos there with Chris Sanders and am on my way to get another. I love every single one. He does great design work and is fun and easy to work with. I always get compliments on all my ink. Thank you Nightshade Ink and Chris. I can't recommend you highly enough. read more

Chris Sanders is amazing. I stopped in to work with him on the recommendation of a co-worker and I'm glad I did. I brought a few images with me and a general idea, and he worked that bare idea into the best tattoo design I have ever seen in my life. I still can't believe this awesome tattoo is mine and I get to show it off. He's an awesome guy, easy to casually chat with while he works, and the space is cool but also clean. Entire operation is very professional. Prices are way more reasonable than they have any reason to be for quality of work. As I sat through the linework, I just stared at the design Chris made for him and told him that if I'd seen this tattoo designed for anyone else, I would have hunted them down and killed them so I could have it myself. Sincerely blown away. Looking forward to going back and having it finished, and then planning the next one. read more

Awesome place! Was referred here by a friend and was so thankful to meet Brett! He's very professional and provides a fun and relaxed environment. Prices are very reasonable and this was definitely the best tattoo experience I've ever had. Brett had very great advice about tattoo designs, making sure I didn't have artwork that would look aged down the road. I loved my experience here :-) read more

Nightshade Ink - Almost finished piece by Brett. - Tattoo Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Chris is an incredible artist and person! This was my first tattoo and he was so calming and thorough (I was fairly terrified!) He made sure I understood everything every step of the way and we had great conversation! He did tattoos for my mother, 2 of my sisters, and myself memorializing our father, who just recently passed away. He made sure everything was perfect for my family and me. We could not be any happier with his artwork and the whole experience! I definitely feel like I've formed a bond with him and will absolutely go back for any tattoos in the future! Getting a permanent piece of work on your body is something we did not take lightly and we know we were so lucky to have found him. He provided us all with a very special experience. Thank you for everything, Chris!! read more

I got two tats there; both needed touch-ups but they only fixed one, and it's much larger than I wanted. Chris is talented and nice, but he does not stand behind his staff's mistakes, and seems to go through staff quickly. Olivier is rude and seemed to make intentional mistakes. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I made the mistake of going in here and getting a tattoo a few months ago. I walked in and talked to Chris (Im pretty sure he was high). After the drawing I sat down and noticed how bad he smelled. (I should have left then) but I didn't and I got tattooed... Well after a few days my tattoo became very infected, pussing and oozing. I followed the aftercare to a T. I didn't even leave my house so I know nothing else caused it. After going to a few other tattoo shops to ask what was going on and what to do they all said the same thing. Dirty needles. After all that the healing and infection finally went away a few weeks later and I was left with a horrible disfigured tattoo that now I have to find somewhere else to fix. I would stay away from this place if I were you! read more

About Nightshade... You couldn't ask for a better group of professionals. Every artist in this shop knows their stuff and has a sense of humor to go with it. The best, besides the space and the equipment being immaculate, is the collaborative nature between the artists. From your first step through the doors until you leave with a bad ass piece of artwork your experience will be top notch. About Jaimie... Every piece I have had done at Nightshade has been done by Jaimie (6 so far and another appointment already set for next month!) Fun story about what a bad ass artist Jaimie is. I first saw his work at a convention, all tattoo style work. When I asked him what shop he worked out of he told me he didn't tattoo yet. Complete shock. I told him that I had an idea for my a large piece to be done on my thigh that his style would be perfect for. Well, once Jaimie started apprenticing, my first appointment was made. This kid was doing better work then I have seen by seasoned pros right out the gate! My thigh was the fifth tattoo that I had done by Jaimie and his creativity and talent made it not only my favorite tattoo yet, but far beyond my expectations. If you are looking for your next tattoo studio and artist in Cincinnati, seriously, get to Nightshade and see Jaimie. read more

I've just had my 7th tattoo at Nightshade, and I continue to have excellent experience at the shop. Jaimie is very talented, and very willing to work on designs until they're perfect. I'm equally impressed with the work I've seen the rest of the crew put on their clients. If you're thinking about getting ink done, I highly recommend checking out Nightshade. read more

I went to Nightshade with a few friends to get tattooed as a group. We all have tattoos but went together for the fun of it. Mark was super accommodating and professional. He made all of us so happy with his work and was so pleasant to talk to during the process. We will be back! read more

Nightshade is ink is not only very clean but very professional and down to earth. I felt very comfortable and had privacy while getting my tattoo. Lucas is awesome! I got my first tattoo from him at beelistic and followed him to Nightshade. He is artistic, knowledgeable and trustworthy! I plan on going back! Lucas has done 4 tattoos between myself and my husband. Definitely would go back! read more

This studio is awesome. Chris is a fantastic artist and a really considerate tatooer. The prices are very reasonable and you will be quite satisfied with your piece. I went in with a concept and he free handed it with a marker perfectly. It was a cover up and he did such a great job masking and working it in that you can't tell at all. He has a great eye and the execution is fantastic. He is very efficient too. It was over much sooner than expected. read more

I got my fourth and fifth tattoos done here by Brett, and I couldn't be happier with them! They're both small - a tiny wrist tattoo and a couple of words in script on the inside of my bicep - but Brett did an amazing job on both! They turned out better than I imagined and he was very patient as we tweaked the design and size of them. He listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions along the way. Other than being a skilled tattoo artist, Brett is an all around awesome guy. He makes the whole process feel very relaxed and comfortable. And of course, the shop is very clean and professional. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the high quality of their work. I would absolutely recommend Nightshade to anyone looking for a tattoo in Cincinnati! read more

Another hidden gem in the 'Natti, Nightshade Ink is a premiere shop with seriously amazing artists. I've worked primarily with Jaimie Filer on several tattoos and he has always blown me away. Great style, great work ethic, terrific person to hang with while getting ink, Jaimie is a righteous and top notch human being and artist. I highly recommend him. read more

Nightshade Ink is one of the BEST Tattoo shops in town I have went to. I have been tattooed by Jaimie twice now and I will keep going to him for all my tattoo needs for here on out. He is very detail orinented and really listens to what you want. He transformed my ideas into the perfect tattoos for me and I could not be happier with them. Jaimie and the other guys at the shop are really good at what they do. I look forward to my next session with Jaimie! read more
