WELCOME TO
THE INKEEPER'S TATTOO PARLOR

The shop is a collection of eclectic artists with a diverse background and over 50 years of experience between the group, excluding the Gatekeeper and apprentice. They do everything from traditional to realism, new school to old, big and small. They take walk-ins and book appointments. The shop is in an old historic building from the 20’s, on the main drag of Cleveland Avenue. The place used to be an old brothel back when the mafia was prevalent. Canton was known as the Little Chicago back then. A woman named Bernice used to run a dress shop in the main part of that building and then the back was where the “sin and sacrilege” would commence. Whenever the brown dress was on the mannequin out front, it was show time. Adams says that 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.”
