I've been a faithful Evolved customer for over 20 years now. Mike Kerin has done all of my tattoos, and when he moved away for a while, I chose to stop getting tattoos instead of letting anyone else do them. Now that he's back, I'm feral for the return to ink and awesomeness. Even though I now live up near Cleveland, I make the 2+ hour drive just to see him. Currently, he's resurrecting a phoenix I had done 20ish years ago. It's freaking gorgeous and I cannot recommend him enough. The facility itself is clean, safety focused, and has a great vibe. I haven't interacted with any staff that I don't end up totally vibing with. This place deserves its status as numero uno in the Columbus tattoo scene.

I got a tattoo done here and it was the best experience i’ve ever had, I highly recommend if you’re looking to get a tattoo go to Wil, he is an amazing artist!

It is a very clean environment and the staff was friendly. I had a cover-up and new tattoo done over two sessions that were two weeks apart, one on the shoulder and one on the bicep, about 11 hours total. The artist did an excellent job of covering the old tattoo, even I am having a hard time telling where it is when looking at the cover-up. 4 stars because I emailed the artist with a few questions after the last session but never heard back. There are also a couple areas that will need to be reworked.

I have gotten several piercings from evolve! The staff was very friendly, and I won’t name the tattoo artist that did my tattoo! She was very friendly. I have many tattoo, and have never experienced a tattoo the way I did with this one. After I took the plastic covering off. I had puss coming out of my tattoo, and the scabs were so thick, redness around my arm. I almost went to er I was affraid I had an infection, and then when they fell off I had chunks of skin missing, and now I have a bunch of scars on my tattoo. I am not happy I payed $600 for this tattoo. I have paid $400 for a bigger better piece I had a bad feeling when I arrived due to being turned away by a few tattoo artist saying they couldn’t do the piece I wanted! This wasn’t what I actually requested in the beginning, but I was wanting a tattoo so bad I picked something the tattoo artist was comfortable with. I have like 20 tattoos, and have taken care of all of them the same way. I’m not sure what to even do at this point with this, again the staff was friendly I would go back for a piecing, but not a tattoo ever again:(

Had a wonderful experience here! This is now my second visit and I've gotten a septum piercing and both nostrils done — the former with Nick Strange and the latter with Javier. A++++ professionals! Everyone there is helpful and they have a great selection of jewelry as well.

Love this place! I’ve been going here for a couple years now and will always love this location. My fiancé and I went in with a tattoo idea that was very unusual. We described it to our artist Mike who perfectly created our vision. Absolutely loved his art and his overall vibe. Will be returning to see him in the future.

I came in for a piercing for my birthday after much self-induced confusion involving going to the wrong location and being very late, and in my rush, not checking beforehand about if this location had stairs. As I use a wheelchair this threw quite a wrench in things, I was very close to calling it quits, but with encouragement from my partners and the empathy of the staff I moved forward. The staff was very apologetic and accommodating, my piercer Holly was super friendly, kind, and an exceptional piercer. I recommend anyone looking to get a piercing visit this location, the kindness show to me by everyone I spoke to really helped make my birthday special. Thanks again for a wonderful birthday!

About a year ago I had a cover-up done by Luka. I had been looking for years for someone who had both the style and talent I felt matched my needs and I finally found it with Luka. I needed something very specific, blackwork, a classical art piece that involved an animal, along with some floral elements and when I saw their style I just knew they were the artist I was looking for.
A year later the tattoo looks incredible. They interpreted my vision perfectly with their style and no one can tell it is a cover-up piece. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Luka and Evolved!

This Evolved location is a cut above. Outstanding staff and all the artists do fantastic work. Friendly and inviting atmosphere. I’ve been here twice for full day work and the interesting conversation topics never end. My tattoo artist Bob is talented and he does a great job of working with your ideas and giving valuable feedback.

Removed photo consent with kyle October 2nd and it took months before everything was sorted out and taken down. They lack professionalism and human respect in my experience. I've went 5+ hour sessions with little to no convo. Felt intimidated by them and ended up walking as a client with unfinished pieces. Don't recommend at all.
