    I see Matthew Barnett for ALL of my black work tattoos. He is amazing at animal, and floral tattoos. He is extremely laid back and chill, and there's never a awkward moment. He makes sure you are fully relaxed and is very accommodating. I LOVE Matthew and all my tattoos I've gotten from him!

    My beautiful tattoo from David Boggins at American Crow Tattoo.
    Kelsey B.

    I had an appointment this weekend with David Boggins at American Crow tattoo and I couldn't be more pleased with either the service or my tattoo. When I found David's stuff online, I was incredibly impressed with his work, especially the detail he manages to put into every piece. I live about three hours away from Columbus but I knew I would be willing to make a trip for the right artist. David was definitely the right artist! I sent him an email with a link to a Pinterest inspiration board I had made. The American Crow website encourages you to do this when you email them, which was a great idea! I explained to him what I was looking for, set up an appointment, gave them a down payment and settled in for an anxious wait! Possibly because my consultation was over email, I didn't see a sketch until the day of. Depending on how much control you need, you might have to ask David for progress pictures or for email updates. For me though, I was perfectly fine with being surprised! As for the shop itself, I immediately felt like I had walked into the right place. Animal skulls on the wall, antique furniture, rich colors and the Beatles playing on the radio. It was like I'd walked into my dream living room. The lady manning the front desk was very, very nice and I'm bummed I didn't catch her name. Because this was my first big tattoo and I had just spent three hours in a car thinking about what was to come, I was VERY frazzled! I mean, she asked me who my appointment was with and my mind just went blank! She was very patient with me and very kind. David showed me the sketch and asked my opinion on a few things and we were ready to go! He has a tv and a computer in his space for putting on movies which was a great distraction. We watched the Royal Tenenbaums after discovering a shared appreciation for Wes Anderson movies. Like the woman up front, David was very kind and patient with me. I was very interested in the process and spent a lot of time hovering over him and taking pictures. His "bedside manner", so to speak, was excellent. We chatted about this and that but I never felt either pressured to keep up conversation or like I was distracting him with my ramblings. The tattoo itself is beautiful. It's everything I could have hoped for. American Crow went above and beyond and I can not thank them enough!

    The interior design is beautiful, the shop is professional and clean. Ryan did an AMAZING job on my tattoo. He was so nice, attentive, and just a gentleman overall. His art is perfect and I highly recommend him to anyone that's interested in American traditional.

    I reached out to Luka (Weinberger) about a year ago because I came across their work - both tattoos…read moreand other forms - and thought I had to have this person's art on my body. They were incredibly friendly and professional from start to finish. If I'm being honest, my request was full on stanning, but I just really wanted Luka to know that I thought their work was beautiful and hoped we could work together. Days leading up to the appointment, Luka was very clear in their communication with me. The appointment itself was great. It was very nice to explore all kinds of topics with Luka, while quiet time was sweetly woven in. We even shared the lunch break together. The short of it is - I'm honored that I got to know Luka and really happy that I have a couple of beautiful pieces from them. I'm already thinking about the next two I'd like to ask them to work on.

The guys in the shop were super cool, very friendly and personable. Sandroni was the one that did my tragus piercing. He was very knowledgeable, definitely knew what he was doing. Explained all of the dos and don't, as well as the whole process of the piercing. I have to say, out of all of my piercings, this one did not hurt and wasn't even red or swollen right after and even throughout the healing process. He did a great job! The room was super clean and up to date. I would definitely recommend this shop for a piercing, ask for Sandroni Oh and go on your birthday so the price of the piercing is free (Still have to pay for jewelry so don't get crazy)

    This is an absolutely beautiful shop. It's clean, well lit and large. The person at the front desk…read morewas lovely. I came in last week looking for a walk-in appointment. I have 3 other tattoos from different places but I had looked through the social media of this place and I I really loved their work. And I wanted a fairly simple design- a rose, on my shoulder. Given that I had seen several roses on their IG and I loved all of them, I thought, why not- let's give it a go. The lady at the front desk assigned me to an artist. He was running an errand, but as soon as he came back, he met with me. I'm going to pause here and say that as a caveat- I absolutely love my tattoo that I had done that day and the artist turned out to be a real sweetie pie and I absolutely would go back here to get a tattoo. But I do have some constructive criticism for the man who tattoo'd me. He was kind of quick to do the consultation. I showed him a pic for inspiration for the color and a couple of others for the shape and design. He came back roughly an hour later with a shape that was not at all what I asked for and he seemed kind of agitated when I told him it wasn't really what I was looking for. I felt really bad because this had taken him so long to do and I would be frustrated too. Just as a bit of advice- it would probably be helpful if you have the client message you the pics for inspiration to your instagram or email so you can reference as you are in the back doing your sketches. He went back to do another sketch and it took another hour. I had arrived at the shop pretty much at opening (12 pm) and we didn't get started on my tattoo until 2:30. He warmed up to me and was kind once the tattoo'ing started but it kind of made me feel like he just didn't like me and maybe didn't want to do this tattoo or something and I felt kind of awkward. I'm just writing this to hopefully help the artist with his consultations and bedside manner. He was a very gentle tattoo'er. A good artist. If he was having a bad day or something- I totally get it. We are all human. And I'm not writing any of this to be mean. Just hopefully helpful. Again, I do recommend this place and will be going back myself. It may have been an off day. But my experience could have been better.

Back in 2016 when they were Long Street…read moreCollective, I decided to get a piece done commemorating my love of the written word, but without too many words (a little difficult). I couldn't find anything on the interwebs that really conveyed what I wanted it to. I found artist Chris Barton on Instagram and after following him for a while I decided that his style was something I loved and that I though would suit the piece well. We emailed back and forth a few times with a pretty vague description of what I was hoping for, and I had to set my appointment out 8 weeks in advance (they were busy, a great sign!). I didn't see the sketch until I arrived which worried me a bit, but all my fears were calmed the minute I looked at it! I explained my concerns with past tattoo artists who had heavy hands, causing some scarring underneath the tattoo. As someone with darker skin, this is a real concern! He took his time, paid attention to every single detail, and the result was perfect. You could see the artists around the studio were all extremely dedicated to their crafts and styles, and that's why I still sing their praises though I haven't gotten any more tattoos since then. Worth it!!

They had great music playing and offered me beverages to make me feel even more welcomed. The actual tattoo session was great. The artist was friendly and explained to me fully every step he was taking to ensure the piece was just right--very professional. I am beyond satisfied with how the tattoo turned out and if I ever visit Columbus again I will return for another piece. Also, incredibly reasonable pricing for how satisfied I am with the experience.

I walked into High Street and the guys were nothing but kind from Chris at the front desk to Charlie 'Chuck' who I spoke with about getting some work done. Charlie and I hit it off immediately he's been in the game only 4 years and his work is amazing! He's the kindest guy I have ever worked with and I am grateful that he is my go to guy for my personal tattoos. Charlie taught me the ins and outs of the tattoo industry what I really respect. One that stuck out to me the most was 'Shop Loyalty' which means yes I get most of my tattoos done by Charlie but it's perfectly ok getting other work done by other guys within High Street. They are all so talented! Why limit yourself? One of my favorite things about Charlie is not only does he read my mind with what I want done (haha) but that he is a tattooer and will tattoo out of his wheelhouse and tattoo most anything to make someone's day. I highly recommend this shop to anyone! Please no that for first timers or someone new to tattoo's that you're going to not just 'walk in' and get a tattoo in minutes - you could! But most likely will be working with the artist on what you want that takes time - so know that getting a tattoo is a process and enjoy hanging around the shop! These guys are all wonderful!

Both, separate and together, offer to existing clients and newbies like myself a joie de vivre which calms the soul and lifts the spirit in all of us. Perhaps .... then,... Spiritus?!! Mike & Kat are calm, cool, collected, well-read, experienced in trade & life, and can lead a storyline while you're under the pin-pricks of tapestry creation. I found them through YELP. Yes, I relied on YELP for assistance... a trail of crumbs if you will. From "here" to the Spiritus site and then to the artists ... I found in Kat's gallery nuances in "self-discovery" and imagination my artist, stylist and Doctor of Soul. My bond to Kat is on my upper back (once healed - a photo will be posted). Two 3 - 3.5 hour sessions did the trick. Caduceus symbol using inks of black, gray and shades of gray were the goal. Kat roared past the goal and blew me away with grace and understanding of my intent. Along the way, Mike & Kat spoke with me, to me, about movies, books, bourbon, music, and explained some of the art and photos in their really, really unique studio. My first session had me discovering a B&W photo of Richmond, Virginia just post-Civil War. Totally destroyed but with a Greek columned building standing. Because Caduceus is a Greek symbol, we talked about the South, the war and loads of other things. Kat and I talked energy, foods, places we've lived and want to see, Short North pubs and bars, dreams and a truck load of other things.... while she calmly placed herself, her work, onto my living canvas. Loved it all. Spiritus is an experience, a great experience. Mike & Kat "got it going on" and should help experienced and/or newbies who wants style and soul built into their passion for a tattoo. Go see them - let them be a part of your life - for sure.
