I wish I could give a 5 star for Sarah the piercer, because on all levels she IS a 5+. Her work, her person, her kindness... Dont ever hesitate seeing her for anything. She will give you want you want, walk you through the process, and take care of you. She is the bomb. Love her! I walked in for a tattoo. I had the unfortunate opportunity of working with Roger. Roger was very rude & dismissive. You never know the battle someone else is going through or why they request the piece they request. You dont know my pain & im certain you dont care. Thats fine. But When they ask you questions, as a professional, it is your job to answer them without rolling your eyes & treating me as if I am an idiot. I am not weak, but I left your shop beaten down by your cruel & mean attitude towards me so much that I cried all the way home. Tattoo artists are professionals / did you get the idea they needed to be harsh & cruel??!! The rest of your staff Ive met & worked with is great. I hope that maybe you can learn that not everyone knows everything about the art of tattooing & thats why they ask you questions. You shouldnt be demeaning because someone asks you about placement. Not once was I asked if I was ok, needed a break, or anything. I have never dealt with an artist like this and I have many tattoos. In the end I settled because I was completely defeated.

My sister and I walked in (she made a surprise visit and weve been trying to get tattoos together for awhile) and Shawn took care of us. He made quick work of my tattoo in a very tender spot. My sisters took a bit longer as it was more detailed and had more fine lines involved. He was great to check in with her (her first tat) and make sure she was doing alright. I never doubted his artistic ability, his skill at sketching out exactly what my sister wanted using her descriptions was amazing and he had us in and out of there in an amount of time that was unexpected. After a pretty negative experience with my first tattoo (the guy went too deep and left some heavy scar tissue damage) I was nervous about getting another tattoo from someone that I didnt know what their work/ethic/style/etc. was. I can safely say after less than a week that I am one hundred percent satisfied with my tattoo. It is almost healed completely, with little scabbing (same for my sister who is over the moon with hers), I know that I will be going back to him for additions to the start he has already made. Highly recommend this guy, as he is efficient but pays great attention to the details.

At first I was very interested in getting work done at Bodystain. I went there to talk about pricing and designs, and I was introduced to a tattoo artist named Roger D. In my interaction with Roger he was actually pretty rude and dismissive of my ideas. He acted as if I myself had been in the tattooing business for years and should have known better about things like spacing and color. Throughout my conversation with him he talked at me pretty much the entire time, and was rather rude. He was not customer-oriented at all. Later in the day after thinking about my interaction with him and how he would be the only person who could work with my time frame, I decided to look elsewhere. I eventually got my work done at a shop on High st. as they were much more about listening to my ideas and working with me. Bodystain is probably a great place but Ill never know. Someone should talk to that guy

I want to take a minute to express my whole-hearted admiration for one of your tattoo artists, Rodger (Dacorian). I cannot begin to express how wonderful he has been to both myself and my daughter. I have had 3 tattoos done by Dacorian and my daughter has had 2. I entrusted him with doing permanent artwork on one of the most precious people in my world, my daughter. If I was in in way hesitant of his tattooing ability, I would not have entrusted him with her. I am thrilled to say that I did not hesitate, not even for a second. His talent is unbelievable and I always in awe of his beautiful artwork. His personality makes getting a tattoo an absolute pleasure. I beyond 100% recommend Dacorian for anyone looking for a tattoo. I am happy to say that he has 2 clients that will be lifelong clients and we will definitely be back for more! He truly is AMAZING!!

Shea was awesome loved her! She did my nose piercing and made me feel so comfortable during the process! On the other hand, a tattoo artist was so rude to me, I had to leave. He couldnt help me at all, I guess he was mad because I didnt know exactly what I wanted in detail. But I have been to shops in the past that helped me by drawing up some things to help guide me. He talked to me rude, and kept shooting down every idea I came up with. I figured he just didnt want to do my tattoo. I came in there to spend some big bucks but he kept bringing up how expensive things were going to be,... as if i didnt have any money lol smh...I walked out because of his smart mouth and I will never go back. Horrible people skills and horrible customer service. But thanks only Shea gets 5 stars from me. Thanks! Shea...

Being raised in Columbus it was understood even in the 90s this shop was a place that was solid. I have been a customer here for over 5 years now and have nothing but great things to say. First, there is zero judgement for ideas that are brought up. You get real answers and perspectives on the artistic design. Next, its comfortable. From the moment you stroll in, you are respected. Ive watched a diverse community stroll in through my sessions. Each one is greeted with the same respect. Last, as a customer it doesnt have to be a one tattoo experience. As my life changed, so did the ink, yet the common denominator was the artist Carmelo and the other artists he surrounds himself with. There is a reason this shop has been around for years. That speaks volumes.

I found Bodystain via the Wounded Warrior Project as they were helping me fulfill my lifelong dreams of having arm sleeves. At first glance I was concerned about the area and neighborhood- however, the moment I walked in the door I was blown away. The shop is immaculate, staff is friendly, helpful, professional and courteous. Their prices are more then fair and the work is phenomenal! Ive now had more then a dozen pieces performed on my way to two sleeves and every piece is its own piece of art. Melo and Shawn have worked on me and each is spectacular. I recommend the shop to anyone. Ive even had piercings done by Shea - and the work is perfect on that end too. These guys and gals are five stars for sure.

I meant to just shop around for my labret piercing but the very friendly staff and great prices convinced me to go for it. My piercer Sarah was very professional, skilled and funny. I felt very comfortable and was impressed with how thorough the sterility of the procedure was. As an EMT and medical lab assistant I know clean! Sarah let me know everything about the process, from the actual piercing to the care and healing process and made sure to let me know that she was available for any questions. Overall I am VERY pleased with my experience and if I want any more "hardware" I wont hesitate to go back. Highly recommended.
