Best of Cleveland: Grim Heart Tattoo, Tattoo Events

We’ve all heard of gumball machine tattoos, Friday the 13th deals and tattoo conventions, but Grim Heart, a recent addition to Lakewood, sets itself apart with tattoo events where ink heads get themed pieces.

For example, the shop hosted a Valentine’s Day event where shop artists and a guest from Arcola Creek Tattoo made pre-designed, love-themed tats with an edge (and a discount), like a weeping flower that says “Luv Me, Luv Me Not” or a cherub with a heart-shaped war mace.

Bolstered by their inviting attitude, the Detroit Avenue spot is an accessible place to get some fresh ink. grimhearttattoo.com
