Tried and True Tattoo, Elyria OH

Got my first tattoo done yesterday by Cole and he did an excellent job! It was clean and it looks so nice. I've already gotten about 12 compliments on it.

Love this place and the people who work here! Matt gave me my first tattoo years ago and since I have added 5 more.most recent done today by Freddie! I'll be back Thurs for 1 more before returning home to Las Vegas! Happy New Year!

I absolutely love this place the vibe and all the artist there are amazing and Freddie has done all 19 of my tattoos and I constantly get compliments on them ️ Such a awesome place will never go anywhere else

I was a new customer waited almost 2 months for appointment with "the best tattoo artist in the shop" lol and I get a message saying he can't do my tattoo becuz he don't know how to incorporate the names I want! After I waited what a joke why would they say he is the best.and if he couldn't put the names how I wanted he could of drew something up to see if I liked it! That's for treating a new customer so well. I will let everyone know!

I chose Jay @ Tried and True because I’ve heard about his work and the other guys as well, Jay is a true professional in his Tattooing, I highly recommend him and if you do chose him, you better book now! Im really happy with the work he’s done on my Tattoos, check them out, you’ll be glad you did

I have been going here for almost a year now and i love it! All the artists make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door.they are very professional and very clean with their work.i would never switch to another shop. Jay, Freddie, and Josh did my pieces and i’m OBSESSED.

They are fantastic. Have several Tattoos done by Jay and I get a lot of compliments on them.

Was my first time here & I absolutely loved this place! Took my daughter and mother in for their first tats to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday & I could not have asked for a better turn out.
Bc it was their first I did some hunting around for best pricing. I actually live in N. Olmsted and I called 3 did shops all with Base prices start off at $75-$80. Which was steep for a small cross w/a rose & “faith” on the inside of the wrist. I knew they were like $50 tats.
And I was right! For what some in Cuyahoga County would do for $100+ Tride & True did for $61 each out the door!
Besides the fact that the shop is the cleanest & well kept, up to date tat shop I’ve ever been to (the outside does it No Justice), but the crew they’ve got, are the most friendly guys! Freddie did all 3 of ours & No Complaints, he was very open w/us, very informative & easy to talk to. The owner Matt was there & he is just awesome! Came right up to us in the waiting area just to bs & make things more comfortable. Really felt like you were talking to an older brother or uncle. You really feel like you’ve known them for years.
I was nervous bout bringing 2 newbs in to a place that I haven’t been to bc if your first is a bad experience not likely to get another one.
Thank you so much Freddie & Matt for making my daughter’s sweet 16 just perfect, she’s already planning her next one & I know exactly where we’re going to come get it! ~ #newlifelongcustomers

Awesome experience! Matt and the crew are Amazing! My youngest son got his first tattoo a couple weeks ago! Place was spotless, atmosphere was fantastic, and laughing throughout the whole experience! Thank you all! Matt is an great artist and person. He did my oldest son's tattoo 8 years ago and it still looks fabulous! Thank you guys! We will be back!

I seen Jay for my tattoo and he did an outstanding job! Everyone is very friendly and made me feel comfortable considering how nervous I was. The shop is kept very clean and organized. Definitely recommend!

Top artists and environment. You can go in with a vague idea of what you want and they transform it into ink.

I like this shop because they don’t judge. Maybe they do behind the curtains but hey I don’t mind lol. The work they do is great and they were super friendly to me. I would recommend this to anyone looking for knowledgeable work and honesty. These dudes are pretty cool.
