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.

I was soooo…read moreimpressed with our experience getting my 6 year old daughter's ears pierced with Alia Stabbee at Modified Skin Tattoos in Beavercreek. She was honest, kind, calm, patient, and supportive, taking 90 minutes to pierce both ears. She definitely is gifted to work with children, and anxious children at that. Words really don't do her work and our experience justice. The trip to Beavercreek was WELL WORTH the drive. I highly recommend considering her for your piercing needs, particularly with kiddos!

I have been searching for the perfect artist to do a meaningful tattoo for me for at least the last…read more5 years. I looked in Savannah, GA, Charlotte, NC, Cincinnati and finally Dayton. I was searching for someone to do a realistic face and many artists came close, but none were just, the right fit. I was doing a yelp search recently and I came across Modified Skin. The pictures that have been posted were perfect for what I had been looking for. I contacted the owner Josh Wiley, and we a set up an appointment. I told him what I was envisioning, and he came up with some amazing ideas for the final result. The shop itself is very laid back, and all the artists are incredibly friendly and creative. It was a full house the night I was in, and the place was a buzz with happy customers, myself included. I feel like this shop has more personal touches than many I have gone to in the past. Josh had a large selection of movies and before we got started he asked if I'd like to watch a movie or listen to music. I knew I was in for a long session and I'm a wuss, so I decided to pick out a couple of funny movies to keep my mind busy. After a couple of hours, my energy was running low, so he ran to Wendy's to grab some food. I have to say, this tattoo has turned out much different than my first ideas in the beginning of my thoughts, but it turned out much better too. I have only had the tattoo for a couple of weeks, and it's not even complete but it has gotten more attention and more compliments than I ever expected. It truly is a work of art that I am proud to show off. I will gladly go back for my next thousand tattoos. :)

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.

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. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for high quality at a reasonable price.
