I visited Columbus with a friend and we decided to get the tattoos we had been talking about for a long time. Her brother, who lives in Columbus, suggested a few places. We stopped here first, and I wish we had never set foot inside this establishment. It looked okay, but as soon as we told the "owner" that this tattoo would be to celebrate my friend being done with chemo (for almost a year I might add) he FREAKED OUT!!! He was a complete ignorant fool, and began stating absurd medical facts to me, a nurse, about how she is sick and told us to get the hell out of his shop. What was suppose to be a life long memory of our bond as she went through chemo treatment and was a survivor, was crushed. She is not SICK! He treated her like she would infect everyone there and he was so loud and aggressive. The whole shop was starring. Talk about embarrassing. I hope he or his loved ones never receive this kind of treatment after battling such a trauma in their lives. LUCKILY we went a couple blocks away and had a FABULOUS artist as well as a welcoming staff. I should add this was in 2014, but I ran across thier page and still get vey upset at the treatment we received so I thought Id write a review. We are again going to the other shop for her birthday in a week to get tattoos. They have our business!!!!

I recently had a tattoo done at High Street Tattoo. My artist was Zack Wolf. Zack was very polite and professional throughout the entire process. I was scheduled for May 31st at 11:30am, and I arrived about 15 minutes early. Zack was already there and ready to start my tattoo. Zack did an excellent job with every part of the tattoo, the level of detail is amazing. Everyone in the shop was very polite and professional in every way. I certainly appreciate the level of artistry that Zack displayed, but his very personable demeanor and ability to put you at ease puts him at the top. I encourage anyone in the market for a skilled tattoo artist to go and see Zack Wolf at High Street Tattoo, you will be glad that you did. Although I only had a little contact with the other members of the High Street staff, they all handled their business with the same level of professionalism that Zack displayed. A top notch tattoo shop in all regards.

After years of searching for the perfect artist to start my sleeves, I landed at High St Tattoo by way of a friends referral. Biggs did my artwork, we was extremely thorough and made sure to double and triple check everything to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. He was quick, the tattoo was virtually painless, and my healing has been a breeze! Best line work Ive ever seen! Jimbo that handles all the booking and customer service is the man. He worked with me to get me on the schedule so that I could get my work done on my birthday which was a very busy Saturday for the shop. All in all, every artist is great, cool to talk to, and take great pride in the fact that people come to them to put their artwork on their bodies to show off for the rest of their lives. There is NO other shop I would recommend in Ohio. Top notch my dudes

This place was horrible. They were incredibly rude and obnoxious. They wouldnt even give me a tattoo. I asked to see the sketch that the artist had drawn but they would not let me see it. After arguing with them for 45 minutes. They accused me of bleeding everywhere and kicked me out. I wasnt bleeding though..... The manager that I was mainly arguing with, smelled like weed and whisky. While at work, really? He couldnt wait until he got off work? I was being extremely polite and he was being a smartass with everything I said and could not comprehend anything that I was saying. Possibly from the weed and alcohol. I already had the sketch drawn and when I showed him the sketch he started degrading me on my penmanship and also my idea of the tattoo that I wanted. I do not recommend this shop, AT ALL

Would not recommend to anyone. My artist, Chad, offered me beer during the tattoo session (which he himself drank), and did two tattoos on me - both text. I shouldve walked then. Over a year and a half out, they are raised/scarred (despite perfect after care), and the lines are so shaky and blown out on one in particular that its not even funny. When I originally brought this up with Chad (after allowing for a one month healing process), he gave me excuses about how ink can bleed out when theres no color/background imagery to compensate for it, how everyone heals differently, blah blah blah. Bottom line is that this was basic line work, and no "artist" could possibly be proud of it. The only good news is that its simplicity will hopefully make it easier to cover up or laser down and then cover up.

I recently went in for a large scale piece by Haley Zontini and I couldnt have been more thrilled with the results! She partially stenciled and hand drew a beautiful rose vine over my knee cap, and it turned out beautifully. The whole outline took just over two hours and its a huge piece! She works fast but the lines are very clean with no blown out sections or variation in the width, which is very impressive given the curvature and rough areas on a knee cap. It healed quickly and easily, more so than other tattoos in the past! The shop is nice and Haley is the consummate professional collaborating and redrawing until we got it just right. I highly recommend her!

Ive been getting tattooed at High Street tattoo for over 7 years now. Ive had three different artists, including the owner Giovani, and have had nothing but positive experiences. II got my first tattoo there when I was 18 years old. I was nervous, but the staff made me feel right at home about it. I actually went back withing a couple days to get tattooed there again. I have get complimented all the time by the work i got from them, and I am never disappointed. Ive recommended them to everyone I know, and I am getting my girlfriend her first tattoo from them soon because I believe in them that month. You cannot have a bad experience here.

My friend and I went to High Street Tattoo for our first ink years ago. Every review youre reading on this site about cleanliness of the store, calming atmosphere, great artists with awesome attitudes is true - they did everything possible to make us happy, and give us as much information as possible to be confident in the work we were having done. As someone else mentioned, they arent on the cheap side, but as it goes with tattoos, you get what you pay for. At HST, you get quality.

Drew was my artist and I HIGHLY recommend him. He was very professional and made my wife feel very comfortable while I was getting my ink. The prices were a little higher, but for something that I dont get a "do-over" with, I was willing to pay for quality. I received a simple black/white, but I would go back should I want something more elaborate. Having received a tattoo in the past at another location, I would not think twice about returning to HIGH STREET TATTOO.
