TATTOO ARTISTS
Daryl Hammond A.K.A 'Dirty'
Daryl Hammond Sr. A.K.A. Dirty Dealins began his tattoo career along side Terrell Bonner in 1996. 1998, they created Xplosive Mentality Tattoos. In 2003, I joined forces with Tyra Powell to create Cincinnati's first salon/tattoo parlor called Creative Handz, soon after I linked up with LaMetra Flowers at LaTouch Suites. After many years of success, I finally decided to open my own shop and created Barbers and Body Art, a barber shop/tattoo parlor. My love for art doesn't stop at being a tattoo artist. It's almost impossible to ride through any business district in Cincinnati and not see a mural or window art that I've created. I also customize clothes, shoes, and just about anything that can be painted on. My ultimate goal is to open a massive space where ex-felons that tattoo or cut hair can come home and begin working immediately as oppose to going back to the streets.

James A.K.A. 'Black James'
James "Black James" Evans A.K.A I am more than a barber. As a 20 plus years barber I’ve become a local celebrity barber to a few Cincinnati names like Chad Johnson, Odell Thurmond, the late great Chris Henry #15 slim, Eric Hicks and DJ Hi Tek to name a few. From fades to blends, beards, to dye of all culture backgrounds, I am cold with all of it.
