I had tattoos done by two wonderful artists here: Mario and Anthony.
One on each shoulder.
Mario was extremely professional and friendly. I requested the Assassin's symbol from the Assassin's Creed video game. He made sure the twisting lines were PERFECT. He was sweating a bit from wanting to ma...
If an amazing tattoo is what you want, this is the place to go! Very talented artists and the customer service is on point. Anthony Dubois is who I go to, but they all do a great job.
DONT GO HERE. Mario did my tattoo & I can't stand it. Or him. Was rude to me the entire time I was getting my tattoo done. Threatened to stop tattooing me because I was asking him about his background as an artist? He was sketchy. He was rude. Then after the tattoo he was being creepy & inappropriat...
I got a cover tattoo from Shaun and it was beautiful! He does great work!
I went to Ben Riffe in may to get a LARGE shoulder tattoo..He did it and we added stuff to it after i seen his lotus. I came back every 3 to 4 weeks for more stuff. 1 week ago he did my left arm from the wrist to my elbow in beautiful flowers. His prices are Great! he hears what you want and put on ...
I ve gotten two large tattoos done by Kyle at Stained Skin. He does awesome work with really good detail. I m super happy with both the sparrow under my left arm and my children s birth month flowers that he did on the front (top) of my left arm.
I got a rib tattoo and the lines are even and the color is still amazing. I got it about 2 years ago. It hurt like crazy but the artist did everything to go a quickly as possible. I plan on going back for more.
My son just turned 18 and wanted a tattoo. He researched what he wanted and where. We went to Stained Skin and talked to Nicole. She took my son's ideas and turned them into her own piece of art! She did an amazing job! My son barely flinched through the two hour tattoo that was done on his sho...
Ben did a great job in creating shared tats our family chose to get together.
They work with your schedule and definitely help you figure out what you want, taking your initial ideas and turning them in to works of art. Mario did fantastic work and hopefully will be doing another piece for me.
Nicole is awesome!! She did my first tattoo over the weekend and was so great! It's been 6 days since I've gotten it done and haven't had any issues during the healing process.
Anthony did an awesome art work on my tattoo. Would highly recommend his shop. He is also quite entertaining! Thanks so much Anthony!
Got an amazing pink floyd tattoo. I will be going back for my next one.
Shaun does great tattoo nice and clean place love my new tattoo...
Great experience with Nathan Marti today. He is nice, friendly, professional and and amazing artist. Stained Skin was clean and had a great vibe going on. All tattoo's should be done here.
Just had a tattoo rework down by Shaun and I am so happy with it! It came out better than I imagined and I had really high expectations since this was a 5 year process for me. He, as well as everyone else I came in contact with in the shop, was really nice and welcoming.
Great service! All of my friends have been going to Shaun for years! Will never have another artist or shop!
Loved my experience here. I got a half sleeve done by Kyle and he did incredible! I ran my ideas by him and he brought the tattoo to life, made it even better than it was in my head. He gave me updates on the design process, worked with me on how much to do each session, and helped me pick colors. I...
Had an excellent experiment with Nicole as my artist - took the time to discuss my ideas with me and was great to work with . Very professional and enjoyable experience overall.
The shop is very clean. Kyle is great super professional and cool guy!
Went to Eli at the shop and had a great experience! Love my new piece.
I have had 4 tattoos done by Shaun and I must say I absolutely love them! They do an excellent job making sure you like the design and placement before even tattooing! I will definitely be back for more!
This shop is 100% worth the time and money. Anthony (the Owner) has done a full sleeve on me and also my dad. They both look amazing-Anthony is wonderful to work with and always makes suggestions that make the tattoo look way better than I could have imagined. I will continue to recommend this shop ...
You won't get a "Free" touchup here unless you drop a few hundred and even then no guarantee.....whack
Highly artistic and extremely hygienic. Best place in Columbus to get a tattoo. LOVE Ben Riffe. Great designer, lovely guy. He's our family tattoo artist!
2nd tattoo I have had done at Stained Skin, they are badass! Ben did an awesome job, he is the most attractive and talented human being to ever put me through pain. I will be returning...
I had a fantastic experience at Stained Skin. We completed my Koi full sleeve yesterday. The entire process was great! Anthony was able to accommodate my busy schedule and on more than one occasion he came in on his day off. He listened to what I wanted and he created an amazing tattoo. For anyone...
not many good things to say about my experience at stained skin. my tattoo artist, ben, not sure his last name, was extremely rude and tried to rush the whole process. while deciding what shading i wanted for my tattoo he cut me off in the middle of my conversation with my dad and told me sit down ...
Really nice artist, willing to listen to whatever your asking for. Fair prices and fast work.
I went for my first tattoo, everyone doubted that Shaun could not do what I asked for a tattoo. He proved my entire family wrong. Quick and highly detailed and is a great guy.
Blake hall did an amazing job working on my half sleeve. With having bad experiences with previous tattoo shops, it was night and day with professionalism as well as talent. I will definitely be going back for all my future tattoos and highly recommend it to anyone considering getting one.
Love this place .. Nathan Marti did my rose sleeve about two years ago 8 straight hours even had to go over some bad work I had previously gotten done . Took my girlfriend in to have 3 tattoos Done as well ... all drawn free hand.. ink has held up very well color still pops on both of us. I'm a wel...
I was impressed with Mario , not only he gave me his feedback as a professional Artist, but his customers service was skills were amazing he made me feel part of his family . The location of the store was not only close to me but was clean and very pleasant as soon as walk in , I would recommend thi...
Great shop!
Over the years I ve gotten 7 tattoos here - my most recent of which I got last month from Kyle Hunter. He did a fantastic job and I am so happy with how it turned out - it has healed perfectly with his guidance and the color is absolutely gorgeous! Kyle is super friendly and professio...
Kat is a very attentive artist who wants to give you a piece you will love! Wonderful artist
Love Shaun and Mario from Stained Skin! Shaun did a great job on my watercolor tattoo. The color is so vibrant. Mario did a detailed moon on my forearm. Both look amazing! Will definitely be back.
Awesome shop. I've gotten tattooed by Mario twice here and I've been super happy both times.
Got a very colorful, very detailed tattoo from Mario, and I love it. I sent him the wildflowers I wanted and let him come up with the design. The end product looked better than what I could have imagined. I ve had so many compliments from people all over the country on how great this tattoo looks. W...
If you re going to stop in to stained skin go to Eli Ling! He s an amazing artist and never fails to deliver exactly what you re looking for and more!! I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo!
I highly recommend Mario. He is an excellent artist with so much talent and creativity. He has worked on the majority of my pieces and I am beyond satisfied. His line work is very nice and crisp, his shading makes everything come to life, and his color work is terrific. I gave him ideas of what I li...
All three of my tattoos have been done at Stained Skin. My first one was 14 years ago. My second was about 8 years ago, and my third was just yesterday. I've had 3 different artists, the latest being Ben, and all three have been fantastic. I highly recommend Stained Skin if you are looking for a...
Got a great tattoo there, as well as my friends. Both done by nathan. Great artist, plan on returning within the week!
Really great shop and atmosphere. Clean and friendly. Eli has done a few of my tattoos and I love his work. Definitely stop in and see him!!!
I got a tattoo from Kyle Hunter at the beginning of September and had SUCH a great experience. Great vibes, clean & professional, so much fun to hang out and talk while getting the tattoo done. Definitely would go back for any tattoos I get in the future!
Shaun is the best. Nothing but top quality artists at this place.
The people are so professional, laid back, and just cool people in general. Make you feel really comfortable and Shaun has done two of my tattoos so far and I will not go to anyone else for my tattoos. He has a loyal customer for as long as he does tattoos. Love stained skin.
Shaun is awesome!! He did a tattoo for me to represent our twin girls & he captured everything I envisioned but couldn't create on my own. My husband is going to him for a cover-up & I know Shaun will do a great job with that one as well. All of the artists there are crazy talented. You can't go wro...
Shaun is awesome! It's been 17 years since my last tattoo. I told him what I wanted, he sketched it, stained it and totally blew me away with the final result! He completely exceeded my expectations! Thank you Shaun! I will see you again.
These guys weren't really friendly in terms of someone trying to get some information or guidance.
They actually came across as pretty stuck up even though I was being so polite and nice.
Didn't even smile once. Don;t recommend going there if you want some customer service or guidance.
DO NOT GO HERE. TLDR: You and your tattoo are just money to them.
DO NOT USE MARIO. The previous review about him is, unfortunately, 100% true. 100% sketch.
I went here for two sessions. First was fine, but it was just an outline for the colors and other designs to come.
Went in for the sec...
20/10 recommend Eli!!! You must go see Eli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is great there!!! Highly recommend! I will never get a tattoo done from anyone else! He has done all of mine.
Mario was the bomb!!! Got my first tattoo here and it looks amazing! He was very professional and clean everything was a great experience. My husband is getting ready to have his first tattoo as well by him. Wonderful customer service!
I've been going here for 2 years now and they always exceed my expectations. The staff is super talented and friendly. They've created an awesome relaxing, clean and professional environment. I love my tattoos and I have Shaun to thank for that. Besides on myself and my friends I've seen so many ama...
Shaun skerchock did my work and it looks awesome! the price was very fair for the quality of work i got. I recommend Shaun and staind skin to anyone looking to get work done
This place is kickass! Every nice people and a really clean place. Ben is the guy that did my tattoo and it was a really fun time just kicked back and watch some movies and got some ink
Blake is awesome check him out! Haven't gone to anyone else since he started tattooing me!
Place was absolutely awesome. Had some work done by Eli and am super impressed with it. Would recommend him and this shop to anyone.
Very inviting and professional. First time in a tattoo shop and everyone was super nice. Mario did my tattoo and am very happy with it. He made sure I liked everything about it and it was exactly how I wanted it. Any future tattoos I get will definitely be from here.
I went to their apprentice, Kat, for a tattoo. She was very nice and charged decent of course. For only have been tattooing for about a month, her work is great. Last year I went to Nicole, who is also a fairly new tattoo artist who's very particular about her work. I can't recommend this place enou...
I ve been to a few shops around Columbus and I can t imagine going anywhere but Stained Skin now that I ve gotten a few tattoos there. Eli Ling and Kyle Hunter are fantastic artists and I ve been so stoked every time I walk out of that place getting work done by either of them. Definitely check th...
SS is a great shop, it is very clean the staff are courteous, creative, & just fun to be around In general. Ive worked with Eli and Kyle personally and they are amazing artists That have very fun personalities, they really listen to what you want and help you flesh out your ideas into something that...
I got my tattos from Mario awesome guy highly recommend him his work speaks for it's self...very clean... professional one of the best.....
Got my first tattoo there and it was great everybody was nice. It was a very relaxing place to get a tattoo.
Nate adams is an apprentice here at stained skin and he did an amazing job. He has very sturdy hands. Not too thick with his linework. Great at shading and everything! And I would know a good artist when I see one considering my mother owned a tattoo shop most my life. Being that I grew up in the i...
omgoodness what a wonderful place Shaun is the absolute best his work is beyond amazing it's detailed and he takes his time to make sure u get exactly what you want I will never go anywhere else or to anyone else
Stained skin is awesome! I've been going there for 5 to 6 years now getting ink by shaun. I LOVE every piece of ink on me.
Shaun at Stained Skin rocks!! He's gentle with his touch and you barely feel any pain... Thanks again Shaun +faith
I was visiting Columbus and my boyfriend and I decided to impulsively get a tattoo and I'm so glad we did. They accepted our walk in and Kyle did an amazing job! I was really nervous and he was so friendly and helped me calm down, would def recommend checking it out!
My first tattoo done by Shawn Skerchock..simply perfect experience...recommend them to everyone
Super nice atmosphere, great people who do a great job. I ve gotten two tattoos by Eli Ling and I absolutely love the work he does!
I really enjoy dealing with these guys. They are helpful and friendly.
I had an awesome experience at Stained Skin. I called for availability and while they were booked during the day- Shaun stayed after closing to get me in. He waited while I fought traffic in the Short North and then parking. When I came in, he had already a mock up of what I told him I wanted on ...
Between myself, my husband and our son our last 7 tattoos were done @ Stained Skin. All by Shaun Skerchock. He is professional, clean and his talent is Amazing! The shop is clean, comfortable and the rest of the staff have always been very nice. We took our best friends this past weekend and Shaun...
I was very very disappointed in the unprofessionalism of the tattoo artist shaun. I was supposed to get my tattoo done on sept.28. Day before that date it was difficult to even get a scratch from him seeing that I already paid $50 down payment and for the scratch. I've been texting him for 2 weeks ...
Upon entering the establishment I noticed how very inhospitable the staff was generally. I had a consultation with Mario and he was extremely pushy. When I decided to get a tattoo I asked questions about the stencil he printed. He took issue with my asking him to show me exactly how it would be tatt...
Shaun is one of the best artists in the area hands down, definitely get yourself some work done by him!
I was Anthony's first full sleeve, done over 10 years ago and it still looks amazing! Great tattooer, I recommend to anyone especially if you want traditional Japanese style tattooing.
