Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky's Best Tattoo Studio

When looking for a parlor to get my first tattoo, I visited numerous places in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. I had waited until I was 25 to get my first tattoo and with my age came several criteria I was looking for in a parlor and artist. First, I needed an easily located and accessible parlor as I planned on this being my first of many tattoos. Next, I needed a clean, sterile environment. Also, I needed a talented artist with plenty of sample work to view. And, I wanted a friendly staff that would work with this overly thought-out tattoo virgin without looking down on me. Lastly, I needed something affordable. Mother's Tattoo and Piercing hit the nail on the head...well almost.

Mother's Tattoo and Piercing is located in the Mainstrasse district of Covington, Kentucky. This area of Covington is extremely nice and vibrant with numerous active shops, salons, boutiques, and restaurants. Also, it is easily accessible, just minutes from I-71 and only three or four miles from down town Cincinnati. The shop itself is very inviting, opting for a modern artsy feel as opposed to the dark design many tattoo shops adopt. So, easily located and accessible can be checked off my list.
