Scott, the owner of Glenn Scott Tattoo Shop in Kettering, was diagnosed with cancer at the end of December, according to a post on Facebook page.
He is undergoing treatment, a family member said.
Last month, Scott attributed the closure of the Oregon District tattoo shop he opened nearly 20 years ago to his health issues, the illness of his long-time manager and other reasons. He announced the closing of his location at 452 E. Fifth St. store on Monday, Jan. 4.

Glenn Scott---life long proud resident of Dayton, Ohio, small business owner, son of public school teachers/activists, proud father, outdoor enthusiast, nature lover, sweet brother, and loving friend to many has now become a Spartan Warrior against the enemy named Cancer.
Glenn of Glenn Scott Tattoos brought his art medium to Dayton over 35 years ago. He has proudly tattooed thousands of people with symbols, words, and art to empower and strengthen those who fight their own battles of grief, loss, illness and for our country. With honor and pride he has also been blessed to commemorate life's celebrations of births, milestones, and the small victories his cherished clients experience.
This big hearted guy has stepped up to help so many with charitable contributions, fundraisers, and currently is is working with Caitlin's Kids helping critically ill children. Glenn is no stranger to experiencing the agony that cancer causes families having lost his younger sister Karen to leukemia/lymphoma in 2011.
Glenn was told this month that he has advanced head and neck cancer. We are asking you to help Glenn afford this very expensive and lifesaving treatment that he needs to beat this. The treatment including radiation 5 days a week, chemotherapy weekly, medications, continuous medical testing and as you can imagine the cost has been staggering and unaffordable for this small business owner.
Please help in any way you can.
With the utmost of gratitude and love,
The Scott Family
