Best experience ever! There is not enough space here to describe it - go check it out for yourself. Rev Dice (Dan) was the artist that made my dream tattoo come to life for my 50th birthday.

Thanks to Annie, my daughters first tattoo experience was relaxing and trouble free, and educational. She was completely awesome! We will certainly be back to see her.

Danny Dice (Rev Dice) is an amazing artist. We traveled 3 1/2 hours to see him and it was worth it. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

We love Dan! This is a funky cool place and the artist are real! He actually talked my daughter out of a certain style tattoo because he knew that trends were changing and he knew she might grow to dislike it! My wife gave him free reign and he took his sharpie and went to work adding to her existing tat! He is also fun and interesting to talk to! Check out their social media! Reasonable rates as well.

Got my first tattoo 5 years ago by D. Willy. He did a fantastic job on a memorial piece. Came back and D has retired so I met with Mike. He also did a great job. The coloring was amazing! I will definitely be going back.

I just got a tattoo there a few days ago and my experience overall was great! Mike G did mine and it really turned out beautiful! It looks better than what I thought it would look. He was also very cool and informative (especially since I didn’t know much about this all) so he was helpful altogether. He was patient and kept things neat and clean. If I decide to get anymore tattoos in the future, this will be the place I will go (And I will definitely always ask for Mike!!). Thank you Sweet Baby Octane!! 😁

Dan is an amazing artist. He had a cancelation so I was able to get in. This was my first tattoo but i knew mostly what i wanted. He had it drawn up in no time and it was exactly what I wanted! He was very clean and professional and of course the best part was the end result. The detail in my piece is just outstanding and I couldnt ask for anything better. I would highly recommend this establishment! Thanks Dan!

Annie was amazing!! She was professional, detailed, and incredibly kind. She took the time to draw up exactly what I wanted and helped me figure out the right placement. I was incredibly nervous since it was my first tattoo and Annie calmed all my fears! I am so in love with the finished product and already dreaming of what I can have Annie do for me next!!! Thank you!!!

Review №13

If I tell you what I want as a tattoo you should not alter what I want because you personally dont like it. Dave continued to not listen to me and disregarded my design request. He hand drew on the design and I brought him a specific picture. I cannot stand it, and now have to find someone who can fix this mess DAVE made.

Great experience, got my 1st tatoo several months ago, Annie did a great job-she communicated to make sure tatoo was the way I wanted it, she was awesome. I was nervous with my first tatoo--and she was so reassuring, explained everything and made me feel at ease. All staff there was so nice - and fun decor in every room!! highly recommend! Never thought Id ever get a tatoo.. so glad I did!

5 years ago I had an appointment with Michael. He is and was very professional. He took a picture my daughter drew and created an amazing, priceless, work of art. It means the world to me. Michael is an awesome tattoo artist. I am definitely going back for more and I would recommend him and the shop to anyone!!!! // Well, I went back several times for additional tattoos. I again worked with Michael Gambino and agin he was amazing! He never disappoints and Im super excited to go to him for additional work to be created.

I only go here. 10 years ago I left Cbus, But will travel back to get new tattoos etc. Its always going to be my place. D-Willy, class act and extremely talented. Hes retiring in Feb. However most Artists are still there from when I started getting tattoos. Good sign. Highly recommended.

I got both of my tattoos here the same day almost 3 years ago, done by rev. Dice, this guy is an amazing artist, and a pretty cool dude. They were all very helpful. I even screwed up on the healing procedure and had to get part of my ink refilled, they touched it up no problem. Reread the healing procedure on their website multiple times! My tattoos still look great, no regrets!

Dan aka Rev has done my tattoos. Hes amazing! I have told several people that if they want a great , bad ass tattoo to go to Sweet Baby Octane. The guys will make it amazing! Ive got a few more for them to do for me.

This place is the best! I’ve been to a few different tattoo shops, and few are as courteous as the folks as Sweet Baby Octane. They’re honest, and upfront when it comes to helping a client with they’re tattoo choices. I can’t imagine getting my ink being done by anyone else other than D, but if I ever had to I know I could trust Rev or Mike to do the same quality job.

I loved Dan! He touched up an extra EXTRA extra special tattoo of mine and I got a little emotional about it. He did good. I also loved his honestly and professionalism! He gives good feedback on what he think will work or will not.

Cant say enough about D Willy and Sweet Baby Octane! D and his shop are professional, incredibly artistic, tattoos heal quickly (because theyre done correctly!) & I guarantee you will love the end result. I have had two pieces done here and wouldnt go anywhere else. If youre in Columbus, this is the place to go. If youre out of town, make the trip. Its worth it!

I had my tattoo was done by ankivit and she was amazing. She was engaging in conversation. She was knowledgeable on care afterwards and during. This is my third tattoo and my first two I had swelling and soreness next day. Not with ankivit I have normal swelling and even that is not bad but absolutely no soreness next day. I wi be back for another tattoo in future. The Management and staff if very friendly and the shop is a really cool atmosphere.

Review №26

First tattoo. Went with SBO based upon reviews and feedback, and went with Rev.Dice specifically because of his portfolio and how well he works with the key artistic elements needed for my custom tattoo. He took a rough sketch of my concept and a 5 minute conversation about the meaning behind each element of the design and he added his own own artistry to create a piece that was better than I had imagined.He was eager to give me a tour of the place and the sterile processes - very reassuring for a first-timer.Tattoo day came, 4 hours in the chair, one session. Was very nervous but Dice is extremely easy going. The 4 hours flew by before I knew it. His work was careful and the pain was much less than I expected. He worked efficiently and turned out a piece that I am just in awe of - a fitting tribute to my mother who passed 12 years ago.Dice was easy-going, open to my design, added just the perfect amount of his artistry and took me through the whole process like I was in control - very reassuring. Never felt like I was being maneuvered or expected to do anything.The shop at SBO is amazing, the atmosphere is casual and easy-going. Even a wimpy IT geek like myself felt right at home. Dice is an awesome artist and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He proactively followed up with me a couple of times to tweak my aftercare routine based upon the progress of my healing.If you are looking for a place to get your ink done, then you cannot do better than SBO.

Reverend Dice and company are the most dedicated group to giving you the best possible tattoo for your situation. Unique, creative, and entertaining. I am over a hundred hours in the chair with them, and would not consider anywhere else.

This has been my go-to shop for years, and will stay that way as long as Rev. Dice is there. Its always clean, always treated well, and always given honest feedback on thoughts of pieces. No desire to go anywhere else!

Mike Gombeda created a custom piece of art for my arm! He took his time with the drawing, planning, using the stencil, and free-handed portions. He always asked permission to free-hand something in place of an original idea to see if it would work better. He was never pushy and never made me feel like his ideas were better than mine. He was especially patient with me when picking out the colors, particularly when I was being indecisive. I really appreciated and welcomed his suggestions during the whole process. Also, as a woman a big plus for me was that Mike never gave me that creepy guy vibe.I never had a fear of infection or cross contamination because Mike is crazy about cleanliness. He washed his hands before we started each session and after breaks, he probably changed his gloves 10 times each session, too. Everything was wrapped in plastic i.e. trays, machines, chairs, electrical wires, etc. Plus, I had the opportunity to watch him open all the needles and tubes from their original packaging during every set up.After completely healing, there are no lumpy scar tissue spots and my skin is smooth to the touch. The colors in my tattoo are vibrant and beautiful, I get compliments all the time!Going to Mike Gombeda at Sweet Baby Octane was a great experience and Ive already scheduled my next piece!

They suck big time. They wont listen to what you want. They talked very big business but can not back up what they say. Plus they keep saying we have been doing this for like 30 years but they cant do simple tattoo. Please do not waste ur time going to them save ur money.
