Assassin Tattoo Studio

Josh did mine and my whole friend groups tattoo this past Saturday and we are all more than satisfied! He made the environment super comfortable for us because we were all nervous but he did an exceptional job!! Kept the environment clean and sanitized between each person getting their tattoo and his work is clean and precise too.

I got a very simple memorial tattoo here as my first tattoo some years ago. My consultation was with someone friendly and personable, but unfortunately when I came back, the gentleman that did the tattoo was unpleasant and very judgmental. I have so much regret that at such a young age I paid for toxic male masculinity and condescension instead of art that I would cherish forever. He did fine on the mechanics of the tattoo, which I would expect considering what I paid and the fact that it was an exact copy of a printed signature. I never went back to have the tattoo retraced, and though I feel sad watching it fade, I feel firm in the decision to never return to this business.

I’ve been to Assassin several times for tattoos and for a septum piercing. The piercer, Lauren, is professional and made sure I felt super comfortable and confident about something I’d initially been nervous about. Rich gave me one of my favorite tattoos and every time I go there, I receive excellent care & services. I recommend Assassin to all of my friends for their tattoo & piercing needs!

A few weeks ago I got my septum pierced by Lauren! It was the most comfortable experience I’ve had getting a piercing. She’s very professional and personable! The whole shop was so clean. Thank you Lauren for doing such an amazing job and making me feel so good about myself! 10/10 recommend Lauren for all of your piercing needs!

I've been tattooed by Shaun & Eliza many times over the last year. Shaun is working on a leg sleeve of black and grey portraits. Eliza worked on covering up old work on my entire chest and arm. They'll both be continuing even more once summer is over. I can't recommend this place enough. Always quality work. I send everyone here. Between all their artists, they can pretty much do it all!

A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME!!! This is exactly why people are nervous and intimidated by tattoo artists and shops!!!!

I called and spoke to the woman that answered the phone at Assassin Tattoo Studio. I explained my situation and told her that I was from out of town but heard great things about the studio and wanted to come in for a consultation to start my half sleeve. She seemed annoyed from the very beginning of the conversation. She explain that I would need to come in and sit down with an artist for a consultation first before going into such a big piece. Completely Understandable! I then asked her if today would be a good day to come or if I needed to set up an appointment to have the consultation. She said no need for an appointment you can just walk in for your consultation. I said great I’m on my way, I’ll see you soon. I drove 2 1/2 hours to get to the shop. When I walked in and explained why I was there she was even more rude in person. Told me there wasn’t anyone in this shop that could “match” my other tattoos. I specifically told her it didn’t have to be the same style. As soon as I said that she took that as an opportunity to show me how knowledgeable she was about all the different styles and completely put me down for not knowing as much as she does apparently. She then told me about another artist that worked in a different shop gave me a card didn’t write his name on it or anything. It was completely obvious she wanted to get me out of that shop as quickly as possible. So now I’m in Akron, 2 1/2 hours away from my house, not consulting anyone about my tattoo that I’ve researched and wanted for a very long time. What a complete let down

I've have a tattoo done here before and came back recently when they added a piercer. AMAZING WORK! Lauren was friendly, and personable. Answered all of my questions and was knowledgeable. Could not ask for a better experience! She even took extra time joking with my daughter to put her at ease as she was scared to get her septum done. Lol WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I started coming to Assassins Tattoo last summer and had work done by Jesse Keller! I was so happy and satisfied with his work that I went back for a second time. I just met with him last week and planned out my next 5 tattoos to get this year and I couldn’t be more stoked! His line work is impeccable, stippling and shading are my favorite, super creative- I love his ideas and perspectives. He makes every tattoo unique and individual, and is light handed and it makes such a difference. On top of all of that he is totally personable, easy going, and all around a solid dude. Highly recommend!

I’ve been searching for someone to do my tattoos for a while now. I moved to the area about two years ago and have had little to no luck. I finally stopped in one day to get a consultation and was very pleased. The staff was super cool and friendly. I was set up with Eliza Gonzalez and was instantly ecstatic after seeing her work on Instagram. Scheduling was super quick and easy as well. Eliza blew me out of the water with the drawing she did for the tattoo and made the process super easy for me. An artist named Conner was also around while I was getting tattooed, his positivity really lifted any nervousness from me. My tattoo came out absolutely perfect and I was on my way. I’ll definitely be going back to this shop for any future work I want done.

I had an outstanding experience today at Assassin tattoos. Jesse gave me my first ever tattoo and I love it! He’s a top notch professional. He operates in a nice clean work environment and is a lot of fun! I was relaxed and able to trust in his abilities. All the guys at the studio are super cool. Highly recommend.
