WELCOME TO
THE INKEEPER'S TATTOO PARLOR

The shop is a collection of eclectic artists with diverse backgrounds and over 50 years of combined experience among the group, excluding the Gatekeeper and apprentice. We do everything from traditional to realism, new school to old, big and small. We welcome walk-ins and book appointments. The shop is located in a historic building from the 1920s, on the main drag of Cleveland Avenue. The space once served as a brothel back when the mafia was prevalent. Canton was known as “Little Chicago” during that era. A woman named Bernice once ran a dress shop in the front of the building, while the back was where the “sin and sacrilege” would commence. Whenever the brown dress appeared on the mannequin out front, it was showtime. Adams says she still haunts the building by slamming doors, knocking flash off the walls, and locking staff in and out at the worst times — “the place has character, that’s for sure.”
