Custom Ink. No Flash.
Four shops across Northeast Ohio. 30+ artists. Everything is drawn from scratch.
Built on grit.
Run by artists.
Clint Marsh started tattooing in 2009 and opened the first War Horse Ink location in Kent in 2016. What began as a small operation grew quickly into one of Northeast Ohio's largest tattoo studios.
Four locations and over 30 artists later, the mission hasn't changed — no flash walls, no pre-drawn designs. Everything is drawn for the person in the chair.

From the Chair
“Rob did my full sleeve over six sessions. Clean lines, smooth shading, no blowout. Same quality every time I sat down.”
“I brought Arwen a rough sketch and she turned it into something I couldn't have come up with myself. Kent shop stays clean too.”
“Drove from Columbus for Clint. Arm piece came out cleaner than anything I've gotten anywhere else.”
