Evolved Body Art

Never have I ever ran to write a review so quickly!!! Holly was beyond professional, friendly, caring and compassionate. There is going the extra mile, then there’s Holly. I woke up with my old dermal/surface anchor rejecting, pierced at a different location in CT. I was frantically looking for a place to help me remove it as it was hanging halfway out of my face. After a few google searches I came across Evolved! I walked in and they took me in 10 minutes. I got a new CZ topper for my threadless nose stud while I waited. Holly took me in and worked on removing the old dermal/surface anchor, it had to be slightly cut as it was still grafted into my skin. After removal, we waited a few minutes as the area was feeling pretty raw. Following through with the new surface anchor/dermal, she performed the piercing so swiftly! Now I’ve had this piercing done 4 times now, so I have a good idea at how it at least feels. She was quick and seamless. There is no other spot in Columbus you’ll find me at for my next piercing. Holly knows EXACTLY what she is doing, she’s educated and clearly passionate about what she does. She made me feel so comfortable and safe, let me stick around for a bit after to regain my footing. Thanks again Holly :) See you in April! UPDATE: After recent events surfaced, I would ONLY recommend JollyHolly the piercer that has branched out from Evolved. Avoid this place at all costs…

This is a GREAT tattoo & piercing shop! The staff is incredibly friendly and inclusive. They’re clear communicators about everything, like safety & hygiene and what to expect during your visit. I was instantly greeted as soon as I walked through the doors and saw the store counter. It was a Sunday, and the shop was a little busy, but I was still greeted with a smile and immediate direction as to what I needed to do. I was there for a tattoo with Bob (who is very talented and kind!), and I felt welcomed, comfortable, and safe before, during, and after my visit. While I was there, I witnessed multiple customers walk in and be immediately greeted, as well. If you experience a wait here, I’m sure that’s normal, as this staff takes pride in ensuring each individual gets their needs met in a respectful and timely manner! They don’t rush through their work, and I don’t think we’d want them to! I have 5 tattoos, all from different tattoo shops. I don’t typically like the vibes in tattoo shops and I’ve never been attracted to one enough to go back a second time; however, I can truly say that my experience here was the BEST EXPERIENCE I’ve ever had in a tattoo shop BY FAR! Seriously. Evolved keeps a great, up-to-date presence on social media, so I’d recommend checking out their Instagram page to see what their talented tattoo artists and professional piercers have been up to. What also attracted me to Evolved was their diverse line-up of tattoo artists. This shop has several artists to choose from. I’d say that you will most likely find an artist here that fits your style and vision! If I get another tattoo in the future, I’ll want it to be here, no question. No matter who you are or how you identify, you will be welcomed here.

I have gotten several piercings from evolve! The staff was very friendly, and I won’t name the tattoo artist that did my tattoo! She was very friendly. I have many tattoo, and have never experienced a tattoo the way I did with this one. After I took the plastic covering off. I had puss coming out of my tattoo, and the scabs were so thick, redness around my arm. I almost went to er I was affraid I had an infection, and then when they fell off I had chunks of skin missing, and now I have a bunch of scars on my tattoo. I am not happy I payed $600 for this tattoo. I have paid $400 for a bigger better piece I had a bad feeling when I arrived due to being turned away by a few tattoo artist saying they couldn’t do the piece I wanted! This wasn’t what I actually requested in the beginning, but I was wanting a tattoo so bad I picked something the tattoo artist was comfortable with. I have like 20 tattoos, and have taken care of all of them the same way. I’m not sure what to even do at this point with this, again the staff was friendly I would go back for a piecing, but not a tattoo ever again:(
