I knew exactly what I wanted, I was told this was the place to get it! I have a co-worker who was a professional piercer from 1984-1995 in Philadelphia who is going to do the piercing. One: I dress conservative, and Two: i am not a youngster! Upon my request for 2 curved 8mm barbells, that is where it all began! I was questioned why and by who I was getting pierced. Then they need to do an anatomy check, then was told it should be done professionally as they hinted the piercer they didn't know couldn't do as good of a job! I should have just walked out and gone somewhere else! I feel I was judged as if I was an idiot. Plus the pieces of jewelry were expensive! Not a pleasant experience! read more

I wanted to re-pierce my ears (cartilage) and didn't know where to start, but I definitely didn't want to do the gun-to-the-ear thing (offered at many places in the mall like Claire's, Pagoda, etc). So I went to seek help and of course, a fellow Yelper comes to my rescue ^__^ - she recommended Evolved - tattoos and piercing studio. Evolved is located on the second floor at the new location (the older location has a huge sign that prompts you to their new site... yes, I went to the old one and was re-directed). Upon entering, I was greeted immediately by one of the staff. After confirming my appointment (with Ms. Lindsay Hearts), he took my license to make a copy and asked what kind of jewelry I was looking to pair with my piercing. The friendly staff took pity of my confused expression and he kindly went over A LOT of possible options for this type of piercing. After I made my decision, he gave me a form to initial and sign my life away. He told me it'll be about a 15-minute wait so I decided to look around. The studio was really open and spacious; it was really clean and well decorated. All the artist I ran into here, coming and going, were really nice - always had a smile to give away ^__^ ...or maybe they felt sorry for me because I looked kind of "lost." lol.... Anyways, my time was up and Ms. Lindsay came out to get me; she took me to the back where the artists have their areas to do their work. Ms. Lindsay took me to her section, I showed her a picture, and she took it from there. First, she explained how they sterilize their equipments and showed me the process. Then she poured out some black ink to make the markings on my ear; it looked pretty good. She had me lay down with my head turned to the side and like after what it seemed like 2 minutes, she was done. Ms. Lindsay prepared me step by step, kindly including the inhalation and exhalation part (which without the reminder, I probably would have held my breath and cause some degree of brain damage, just kidding, but not really..), so there were no surprises. She was really gentle, quick, and the precess was nearly painless (umm... I don't know why, but this last description is making me blush o_O;;) Anywhoo, she gave me a mirror for inspection and it looked just the way I wanted it to look :) She led me back to the front area, went over post-care instructions, and made sure I didn't walk away with any questions unanswered. She's great!! I recommend Ms. Lindsay Hearts and Evolved to anybody who is looking to get a piercing. My overall experience at Evolved? Pretty awesome!! I will definitely come back recommend it to everyone o^__^o read more

This place does great work and they charge a great amount. Evolved is clean, professional, courteous, and very expensive. If money is no object then come here and get you work done. If you want something done on the cheap look elsewhere. read more

So today I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Mike Chance. He was Amazing!!! When I arrived I saw him interacting with another client he had just finished with, and he had the warmest smile. I asked him if he could pierce my nose for me and he was so kind and welcoming!!! He didn't just pierce me anywhere he took time to find just the right spot. I had a piercing on my nose previously and I thought he would have just re-pierced that spot but he didn't, he took his time with the placement. He patiently explained everything to me and was very informative. You can tell he has definitely mastered this craft! He answered all of my questions and I love my piercing!!! I would also like to mention that he was very easy on the eyes as well, but that was just an added bonus :) read more

I have had several tattoos and piercings done at Evolved, and every experience has been great. The shop is immaculately clean, the receptionists are friendly and helpful, and there are amazingly talented people on staff. Evolved offers every style of tattooing you could possibly want, and an array of jewelry you simply cannot find anywhere else. read more

My sister and I got our ears pierced here with Michael. He was really professional and patient with us and went through a few placements first before starting. Sanitary and good about telling you how to take care of it. The wait was a bit long but we also went in on a busy night. read more

I love this place... everyone's cool with you and the professionalism is very noticeable. They don't play around! I've gotten pierced here and so have two of my friends. None of us ever had any issues. Whenever we had any questions or concerns, our piercer has been available to answer. I love the fact that I can recommend this place without hesitation (which I have many of times & I'm doing so now ;) read more

Evolved was recommended to me by a friend. Stopped in a few weeks ago while visiting family in Columbus. Eric Bays was able to take me as a walk-in. Very professional, clean studio and amazing artistic talent! Everyone was friendly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was satisfied with the work - which I was, in spades! Will definitely visit again next time I'm in town. Can't say enough good things about Evolved! read more

Jarrett and all the staff at the High St Evolved were super friendly and welcoming! Although both of my tattoos I got done were small, the process was very quick and easy. I will be definitely coming back to Jarrett the next time I'm ready for a new tattoo! Thank you Evolved for everything!! read more

I visited on their free piercing day, Tuesday. It was fairly busy, however, the employees at the front desk were on top of greeting me and the other customers as they trickled in. There was plenty of seating. Mind you, this is their busiest day of the week so I waited for maybe 40 minutes in total, however, it was a pleasant atmosphere with plenty of piercing and tattoo photo albums to look at. Dave was my piercer and he was very welcoming and professional. I noticed he took multiple safety/sanitary measures to keep his hands, jewelry, and equipment clean, which I appreciated. Although he was busy that day, I didn't feel rushed or brushed aside at all. He took the time to converse and answer any questions I had. I plan to get more piercings and will be back sooner than later, for sure! read more

I've been working with AJ for a few years now. His work is amazing and, most importantly, he worked patiently with me as we drew and redrew and tweaked various elements until just right. I've had tattoos at other places previously and there is a noticeable difference in the healing process when done correctly. AJ does it right, so I didn't scab and peel for weeks like I have in the past at other shops. I recommend this place to everyone who compliments the work. The common phrase that I hear from my tattoo-free friends is: "If I were going to get a tat, I would want something like that." read more

My daughter and I both got piercings today and Ben was awesome!!! The whole shop was clean and very professional- we didn't wait at all, the jewelry selection was very good, Ben was great and explained everything very well. read more

Okay, first of all I'm a very picky person. I have a bunch of tattoos and piercings. I've got nipples pierced , my industrial, and my bridge done there. I now had too take out my bridge because it wasn't straight and got a bubble on it. Not okay. Second my industrial is not healing at all and I did everything they said to take care of it. Collin pierced everything but my nipples. When I got my nipples pierced he had it so crooked that he took out the jewlery and tried to pierce it again. To no avail. They were both so crooked I took them out when I left. The people there at the desk seem nice enough but it's not okay to be more worried about making money as opposed to customer service. I asked them what I should do about my piercings and they basically told me to remove them and come back to have them 're pierced. What would I do that when they couldn't even get them right the first time. Or the second time, ? I do not recommend coming here. Worst experience I've ever had. I recommend piercology on first. Best place by far just a bit more expensive. Then again I suppose you get what you pay for in my case I paid for two ugly scars on my face. ..... read more

Evolved Body Art - Piercing Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I really enjoyed getting my nose pierced here. They had very knowledgeable staff members who talked me through every step. Also, it was my birthday so I only had to pay for the jewelry. I saved about $30 just from that. However, I did think the price for the stud was a bit costly. It was $30 for a surgical stainless steel nose stud. In my opinion, that's too much as its a very very small piece. Other than that, I really enjoyed this shop. I definitely would go back. read more

Jarrett was amazing, the work was devine and very friendly staff. I highly recommend going here!

Such a rad place! I had a piercing that had been bothering me for awhile (not from Evolved) but couldn't go anywhere to have it checked out due to COVID. I am super happy with the replacement jewelry I got at Evolved, and the person I saw made things super easy and chill. They also gave me detailed instructions for how to keep the area clean and healthy. They have a very cool selection of jewelry and really approachable and knowledgeable folks - I'm glad I decided to go in! read more

Dave was a really nice piercer! I was getting my belly button pierced and was really nervous before hand- and he made me feel at ease almost instantly! He talked me through everything he was doing and did an amazing job with my actual piercing!! read more

I went here to get my ears gauged. Some guy named Sarvas helped me out. He was really nice and I love my new jewelry. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. My friends go here too. read more

I came in today for a piercing around 6pm, not sure what to expect, as it was my first time here. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a man at the counter. He asked me what I wanting to get and then showed me jewelry option and prices. As soon as I made my decision and filled out a quick sheet of paper, I was then greeted by my piercer, Heather. Right off the bat, she asked me whether or not I've been pierced there before, then proceeded to be very informative about the maintenance and what to expect. She answered all of questions, and was very friendly, personable, and professional. Altogether, it was a great experience and my piercing looks great. Highly recommend this place! read more

This place was great. Not enough I can say about my piercer Dave. He endured all my asinine questions and was super helpful and just a plain good dude. read more

Best body modification shop in Ohio, as far as I am concerned. Great artists, gentle touches, sense of humor, and excellent customer service. read more

Really good experience! The girl at the counter was really friendly and patient with me deliberating over what jewelry I should get even though it was nearing closing time, and they're APP certified, so that is always a great sign. My piercer Amanda was super professional and nice, and everything was really clean and sterile. Would recommend!! read more

Great experience with super people! Professional, very clean and hygienic and beautiful jewelry! Would highly recommend!

I got two tiny tattoos done here the other day, and I am more than satisfied. I got waited on immediately, the tattoo artist (Matt) was very patient with me as I'm pretty picky, and the process was quick and everything was super clean. My friends whom were with me got waited on quickly as well! read more

Where does one even start with how amazing Evolved is? I've been going to Nick for all my jewelry and piercing needs for over 10 years now, and each visit he is just as kind and comforting as the time before. I wanted to write this review and assure anyone if you are even thinking about being pierced, stop in and see for yourself how comfortable of an experience it can be. Thank you Nick and the Evolved staff for providing a great service and experience for me! read more

My boyfriend and I came back here to give it another try after realizing we were mistaken about the price information and we were glad about the encouraging response I got on my last review from someone from the shop and we are both really glad we came back. This time we went to the location of summit and it was a night and day difference from the one on High. We didn't have appointments just walked in for tattoos and were immediately met by a nice girl at the front, she even helped me figure out how to locate a dont I liked because I foolishly didn't bring a reference font with me. My boyfriend got a tattoo by Brent and had such a great experience, and I had one by joe and he was awesome too. Our tattoos are healing so nicely and his even though it was a lot bigger than mine healed better than any tattoo I've seen. It's only a four star because I'm still a bit peeved about our first experience, but we will be coming back and hope to have more good experiences here! read more

Ive gone to Evolved for both piercings and tattoos. Sarvas did my piercing, and Matt Barnett did my tattoo. Both of them are so comforting and knowledgable about what they do and it makes the experience so easy. I'm in love with my tattoo and my piercing, and I would never go to anywhere other than Evolved! read more

I got an old tattoo covered up by Jarrett. He did an outstanding job and was funny and personable. I had a few tender areas and he was patient with me. I'd highly recommend Jarrett to anyone looking for quality work. read more

I love the high street location! My sister got her first tattoo here and I have been recommending it to friends and coming with them as support ever since, and just had my first piercing there and will always come back! They have the nicest employees who are honest and helpful about what you want to have done. Holly did my piercing and she is so fun! Professional and very clean, but also very nice to the group of us that went in and joking around with us between piercings read more

Always enjoy my time here. Jared is top notch when it comes to piercing knowledge and know how to get the job done safe, fast, and as painless as a piercing could be. read more

My husband and I both go to Evolved for our tattoo work - we LOVE Joe. He has done custom designs for both of us and is amazing at interpreting our ideas into pieces that are better than we could imagine. I would recommend him to anyone looking for American traditional style. read more

Just went to the new Evolved yesterday. Got another great tat from Stacey Hill. She is amazing and personable. Great staff and all around the best in Columbus! read more

Went there ths morning as a walk in when they opened. I was told they had 2 artists there but both had 1 o'clock appointments. Web site says they only take in person appointments and I am from out of town. I was told to come back later but no guarantee I would be able to see anyone. What kind of business opens at noon but won't have anyone to take care of customers until later? You just lost a sale because your customer service sucks. But I'm glad you are so busy you don't need new customers. Good luck with that business plan read more

I have gotten a few piercings done by Amanda and a tattoo by Matt. I love this place, amazing selection of jewelry, everything is clean and everyone is very knowledgeable. I recommend them to everyone ! read more

I've been here two times now and they are clean professional and fast! Not to mention the knowledge they have about every piece of jewelry and piercings. I've never even had to wait for service! Can't wait for the next piercing/tattoo read more

I got a piercing here about a month ago and am more than pleased with the experience. It was very professional and I can not express enough how sanitary the whole process was. He went through every step of the process with me and kept me calm even though it hurt like hell. He told me to come back and follow up in four weeks if there were any concerns. Although I could say the workers could be more fun and personable. Especially the first person to greet the client. but would much rather it be professional than sketchy!! read more

I LOVED Evolved. I'd decided I wanted a tattoo (my first), and we'd tried several other places that day upon the recommendation of friends and none were friendly - none worked out. I called Evolved and immediately - they were SO friendly on the phone and invited us to come on in. Before going, I'd read several reviews about how comfortable it was there and how kind everyone was and also a specific review on Lacey and how great she was. We were immediately greeted with warmth and as walk-ins, had to find an artist with time to do the small tattoo I wanted. Lacey was the one available! She was GREAT to set my racing heart at ease as she explained the process step by step as she did it. She was FANTASTIC. I could NOT have asked for a better first tattoo experience. After my tattoo, my husband decided to get one as well and Lacey also did his. People - it is PERFECT. It was all words and the lines are completely straight and crisp and the edging of the block letters, PRECISE. We will DEF go back to Evolved and to Lacey - we've already sung her praises!!! Already looking forward to my 2nd tattoo! Thanks, Evolved and thanks, Lacey!!!! read more

First tattoo, great experience. I walked in expecting a consultation and and appointment and left with a fresh, clean banger. Joe did some simple state outlines, very detailed and straight lines. Really clean and sterile studio, staff was very helpful. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! A great quality service, will be back for more next paycheck. read more
