Hi Everyone! Welcome to the house the Byrd Built. In 1998 David M. Klaiber used his nick-name “Byrd” to name custom tattoo machines that where “Blued” to treat the iron of the machines, ultimately combining the words to become “Blue Byrd” and registering the URL name WWW.BLUEBYRD.COM.
In the summer of 1999 Blue Byrd tattoo established a brick and mortar location on Brown st. Registering with the City of Dayton, Montgomery County and with the state of Ohio for business, tax and health department licensing. Oh joy!
From day one Dayton and surrounding areas received Blue Byrd so well that with encouragement from friends/fellow artist and clients a second location was established in Middletown Ohio in 2000 just a year after our grand opening in Dayton.
Shortly after with the growth of clients and staff a third location was established in 2003 on the Border of Miamisburg and Centerville Ohio across from the Dayton Mall. It was a busy time and the Brown st shop was the place to be during and After hours. All our shops where a place for new friends to meet, art and trade skills to be shared and ridiculous antics played out!
Times change and business grow and grow up.
In 2014 Blue Byrd’s Middletown location changed hands from David Klaiber to his good Friend Jon Gearheart and up and onward with the growth continued. At the start of 2024 Blue Byrd Middletown gently changed its name to Anchor Head Tattoo as Jon went on his own path to success building a second location. It was time to for that “little Byrd” to fly on his own. Lol jk love you brother!
Back the the “WORD”
In 2007 Blue Byrd Tattoo purchased this new location for the growth of our studio. 3 times larger than our old Brown st. studio that opened its doors in the summer of 1999. We then made the move that set our company as a permanent Dayton fixture when the doors closed at Brown st and re-opened in the summer of 2007 at Wayne ave. we have a large and relaxing environment at our new studio. our artist are all custom orientated so from your idea to any design found we are ready to exceed your expectations of design, finished product and a positive friendly visit. Come Visit Dayton’s Finest!
