Your Vision
Realism & Portraits
Photo-realistic renders that capture likeness, texture, and emotion. Portraits, animals, and imagery that look like they leap from the skin.
Traditional & Neo-Traditional
Bold outlines, rich color, timeless iconography — updated with modern composition and your personal twist.
Cover-Ups & Corrections
Transform old or faded ink into something you're proud to show. Strategic design meets skilled execution.
Custom Design & Consultation
Every piece starts with a conversation. We'll refine your idea into a custom stencil — or build an original design from scratch.

Our Story
Rooted in Dayton,
Dedicated to the Craft
Gotham Ink Tattoo sits on Kiser Street as a space where serious artistry meets a welcoming atmosphere. We don't do cookie-cutter flash — every session begins with a conversation about what you want, why you want it, and how we bring it to life on your skin.
Our studio is clean, professional, and designed so you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Whether this is your first tattoo or your next chapter, we treat every piece with the same standard: something we'd be proud to hang in a gallery.

Common Questions
Things We
Get Asked
Can't find what you're looking for? Give us a call — we're happy to talk through anything before you book.
Call Us: (937) 604-8027Do I need an appointment?
We recommend booking ahead so we can dedicate uninterrupted time to your piece. Walk-ins are welcome when the schedule allows, but appointments guarantee your spot.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Every piece is unique, so pricing depends on size, detail, placement, and time. We'll give you an honest estimate after our consultation — no surprises on the chair.
Do you do cover-ups?
Absolutely. We specialize in transforming old, faded, or unwanted tattoos into fresh artwork. Bring your reference and we'll assess what's possible.
What's the aftercare process?
After every session we walk you through aftercare step by step and provide written instructions. The short version: keep it clean, moisturized, and out of direct sun while it heals.
Can I bring reference images?
We love when clients bring references — photos, sketches, Pinterest boards, whatever. We'll adapt and customize them into a design that works for your body and your story.
How old do I need to be?
You must be at least 18 years old with a valid government-issued photo ID. No exceptions — it's the law and our standard.
