FOUNDRY OF THE VEIL
With over 13 years of experience in the creative and entertainment industry, I bring that background in art, design, and visual storytelling into every piece created at Foundry of the Veil.
My work focuses on black and grey stipple, anime, and illustrative tattooing, with an emphasis on strong design, lasting readability, and creating work that feels distinctly yours.
Welcome to Foundry of the Veil, a private, appointment-only tattoo studio in the Dayton, Ohio area.
This space was built to offer more than just a tattoo. It’s a place to slow down, throw around ideas, and create something we’re both excited to bring to life. Here you can check out current promotions and specials, view some past work, hear from past clients, find answers to common questions, and book your next session. If you’ve got an idea you’ve been sitting on, let’s start the conversation and see what we can create.
CHECK BACK SOON…
MORE THAN A MEDIUM
I’ve been making art professionally for over 13 years, long before I ever picked up a tattoo machine. My background spans games, animation, 3D Design & Manufacturing, photography, and video. I’ve spent most of my adult life finding different ways to create.
Tattooing became more than just another medium for me. It feels like the next evolution of my journey as an artist. Taking everything I’ve learned over the years and applying it to something more permanent and connected to the people I create for.
Since making that transition, I’ve spent my time tattooing here in the Dayton area, refining my work, pushing myself creatively, and building something that feels so much more personal than anything I’ve done before.
The art is only part of what makes tattooing special to me. It’s an honor and a privilege every time someone trusts me to permanently mark their skin. That trust means a lot to me, and the relationships I get to build along the way mean even more.
I want people to leave with a tattoo they love, but I also want to build the kind of connection where this isn’t the last time we sit down and create something together.
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Adler. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional and patient.This tattoo is especially meaningful to me as it’s a memorial for my grandfather, and Adler truly understood how much it meant ...You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and his clients, and that made the whole experience even more special. I’m beyond grateful for this piece and the care Adler put into it.”
“I had an incredible experience getting my spider with floral accents tattooed by Adler. From the moment I walked in, it was made to feel comfortable and he listened carefully to my ideas. The design turned out even better than I imagined ... The entire process was smooth, professional, and comfortable, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result. I highly recommend Adler to anyone looking for high-quality, artistic work. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!”

As outlined in the descriptions above, rates may vary depending on the specific project requirements or any ongoing promotions. However, if you are genuinely interested in collaborating with me and find that my services currently exceed your budget, please do not hesitate to reach out and get in touch. I am fully committed to providing a positive and professional experience for all clients, and I am always open to exploring mutually beneficial solutions that accommodate and respect their financial constraints.

Deposits are non-refundable and required to secure and confirm an appointment. If you book your appointment through the website, a 25% deposit must be paid at checkout within the booking system. For bookings made through other means, the deposit amount will be mutually agreed upon prior to payment in order to hold the appointment slot. Deposits are strictly non-transferable and cannot be moved to another date or rescheduled time. This policy ensures that I reserve dedicated time exclusively for your tattoo design. When your tattoo is completed, the deposit amount will be deducted from the final total price.
-
Clients who have received a tattoo from me are eligible for a free touch-up, provided it is needed and falls within reasonable limits. However, if the tattoo is not properly cared for during the healing process, or if my aftercare instructions are not closely followed, the offer for a free touch-up will be voided. It is important to note that touch-ups are intended to be minor adjustments and improvements, rather than a complete redo of the entire tattoo.
-
I will not tolerate any form of rudeness, disrespect, or abusive behavior during haggling or price negotiations under any circumstances. If you arrive more than 30 minutes late for your appointment, you will be required to re-book a new appointment, and this must be done at your own expense without exception. Please note that the non-refundable deposit you paid initially will become void and will not be applied towards the new booking in this situation. Additionally, I will not provide service to, nor accept anyone who arrives under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as this compromises both the safety and professionalism expected during the session. Furthermore, I will refuse to service anyone or create any tattoo designs that promote hatred, racism, or discriminatory messages towards any specific race, religion, sexual orientation, or group. My commitment is to maintain a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for all clients.
-
By receiving a tattoo from me, you acknowledge that the process may be photographed or recorded for educational and promotional purposes. These materials may be used across social media, websites, and other marketing platforms. If you would prefer not to be filmed, or if there are specific areas (such as your face) you do not want shown, this must be discussed with me before your appointment. I will always respect those requests.
-
While I do accept same-day appointments when possible, but please note they’re limited. Same-day bookings must either be for a design you bring in or for a small enough piece that I can create with the time available before your session starts. Availability is not guaranteed for same-day requests, so advance booking is always recommended and preferred to ensure I can give you the highest quality work possible.
-
If you cannot attend your appointment, you must rebook with a new deposit. Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Emergencies will be reviewed case by case. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may lead to a ban from the studio. Emergency cancellations can transfer your deposit to a new date, but it must be used within 6 months from the original deposit date. This policy helps ensure clients keep their appointments and the artist can deliver the best service.
