Was patient with my indecisive teenager as she and her older sister debated jewelry choices. She was knowledgeable and gave advice about the jewelry and its warranty and my daughter was surprised at how quickly and easily it was done and minimal the pain was. Would definitely go see Liz again.

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.

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.
