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.

On top of that the whole tattoo costed well over $200 whilst being about the size of a dime and a preexisting design. I was charged for "designing" the tattoo when all they had to do was look up the symbol I wanted and print it out or use the photo I showed them. The process was relatively professional and everything seemed well sterilized so no complaints there. Other than the ridiculous pricing the overall experience wasn't bad. I just wouldn't recommend to anyone who doesn't want to over pay.

She talked us through absolutely every step and made sure we were super comfortable, and both piercings came out great.

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.

When I showed up I was immediately greeted. And introduced to Silver who would be doing my piercing. My nose was actually already pierced but I was having issues getting the stud through after several months of it being out. Silver examined my nose and was able to get something through it. I just had to pay $10 for the jewelry which is an amazing deal. Next was my tattoo with Camille. I was getting a pre designed piece from a recent flash sale. Camille was extremely nice and sweet! I felt at ease immediately. Camille makes a tremendous effort to have her tattoo process be as eco friendly as possible! What a great thing to do! I hope more artists and shops join her! Camille was very easy to talk to and she did a great job throughout the whole tattoo. She was pretty quick too! The shop was clean and had lots of merch for sale as well as refreshments. Each artist seems to have their own room or shared room. It's cool to see all the different styles. I would definitely go back to get more and check out some other artists! I highly recommend Camille and Silver!
