The Commission Tattoo Gallery

The Commission Tattoo Gallery was honored to be invited to take part in the Northside Arts & Mental Health Expo at WordPlay Cincy.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this that bring tattooing into spaces centered around creativity, connection, and community.

A special thank you to Cam for representing The Commission so well. We’re proud to have artists who show up with professionalism, kindness, and great work wherever they go.

Thank you to Team CREATE, Cincinnati Public Allies, WordPlay Cincy, and everyone who stopped by to support the event. We appreciate being included.

Not every tattoo artist is built the same.

Whether it’s a tiny script tattoo or a full black & gray sleeve, Slim brings the same attention to detail to every piece.

Versatility isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about doing it well.

Tattooing in a brewery just makes sense.

Thank you to Mary Marvel Jordan, Jamison Walker Jr., & Esoteric Brewing Co. for inviting David & Clare of The Commission to be part of Drafted. Good beer, live music, talented artists and a room full of people supporting Cincinnati creativity.

We want to be part of more things like this. More local events. More collaborations. More opportunities to bring tattooing into spaces where art, music, business and community already meet.

So, Cincinnati, keep us in mind. Invite us in. Let’s build something together.

And while you’re at Esoteric, check out the artwork from The Commission currently available for purchase. Go grab a piece and support local artists beyond the tattoo chair.

We’re grateful to everyone who trusted our artists, stopped by and helped make the weekend what it was. This is what community looks like, and we’d gladly run it back.

Two tattoos. Two completely different stories.

Created by Clare. 🖤

Imagine your tattoo becoming one of your artist’s favorites.

Clare is five years into her tattoo journey, and she’s just getting started. Hear what she’s loved creating so far and the pieces she’s hoping to do more of.

If portraits or anything on her wishlist have been on your mind, now’s a good time to start the conversation.

For Slim, art has never been limited to tattooing.

Whether it’s on paper or on skin, every piece reflects the same creativity, patience, and attention to detail.

We’re proud to see one of our artists, David “Slim” Hampton, invited to take part in Drafted at Esoteric Brewing on July 17–18.

Along with tattooing throughout the event, Slim will have this original, hand-drawn Mortal Kombat piece available for purchase! A chance to own an original work from the artist behind the tattoos!

If you’re planning to stop by Drafted, be sure to spend some time with Slim. Support his work & the community, and check out his original art!

We’ll see you there.
