Vertigo Tattoo & Body Piercing

Called to ask about buying supplies. Their site claims they sell supplies. The person that answered the phone told me to put down my tattoo gun and that i would never be a professional. And told me that i am committing a crime by tattooing my self. Place is a joke with artists that are full of themselves because some drunk college kid said their tat looks cool. 🤡

I got my 1st tattoo from Steve at Vertigo. He wanted me to look online to give him an idea what I wanted. He gave me some ideas of what would look good, we agreed on the final piece and he didnt disappoint. Outstanding job. The lines are straighter than in the pic because I suck at Selfies.

Amazing experience! Staff was very friendly and willing to answer all my questions. Made me feel very comfortable for my first tattoo! Will definitely be coming back for more!

My 8 year old daughter just got her ears pierced here and it was absolutely hands down the best experience! They were very good with her and her being nervous but she was glad she got it done and loves the jewelry they gave her for it thank you all for being such great people!

Steve and the staff at Vertigo Tattoo were some of the kindest people I had ever met. Very professional and a true joy to have been there and look forward to future visits!

Bear in Mind that tattoos are permanent. So if youre going to get one - get it at Vertigo! I was a bit worried that it would be a little different than the design but it looked EXACTLY like the design and how I wanted it to look. Setting up the appointment was easy and Steve is fun to talk to during it (as was everyone at Vertigo). Ill be back...

Had an awesome experience, loved Rachel she was so fun and male me laugh the entire time. Very personable! And did an amazing job on my tattoo! Cant wait for next time!

Quite the experience for the 8th grade daughter of my friend! The artist piercing her ears was so good with theatrics and distraction that she didn’t know it was done!

Great people. Very knowledgeable

Steve has done all my tattoos. Dose amazing work and you have a great time while getting them.

Got my belly button pierced here today and Steve seems a bit scary at first but he knows what hes doing and has a good sense of humor. He has many years of experience and made me feel very comfortable!

I was immediately seen and greeted with smiles! I had an idea for a tattoo and Isaac was able to take my idea and tweak it to perfection! He was very patient with all of my ideas and critiques and the overall finished product was very clean and precise!! I highly recommend going to Vertigo for your tattoo and piercing needs!

The guy did a nice job but his apprentice, Rachel, did an awful job. Her line work was terrible, really thick and caused my skin to scar underneath. I’m currently getting the tattoo removed and using mederma to help with the scarring. Do not get a tattoo from her. She clearly does not know what she’s doing.

My friend and I got matching tattoos that mean a lot to us. They turned out great and it’s even more meaningful considering Steve is one of the most personable guy I’ve met in a while; furthermore, you can tell how much he loves doing his craft and holds himself accountable to his standards.Steve was also super generous to give us a free touch up! Highly recommend going to Vertigo!- Gabe & Page:)

Just left a review on the fb page but wanted to leave one here too. Got snakebites done the other week and they’re currently healing nicely. Good placement and Steve was great and super personable! Almost painless! Definitely will ask for a countdown next time though 😂

My 8 year old wanted her ears pierced and this place was great! Everyone was very nice and made her feel comfortable! I totally recommend!!

Steve did an amazing job. I was able to send him a picture of the flowers I wanted and he customized it to add it on to a tattoo I already had. Would absolutely recommend coming here!!

I came here for my first tattoo and what was my worst nightmare came true: it was done completely incorrect. I contacted him the same day and he told me it would be fixable, but it never should have turned out like this in the first place. After getting opinions from other tattoo artists who said there was no way to fix this mess, I ended up covering it with something so much more beautiful than what I had before. I made the mistake of trusting all the good reviews, but do NOT go here.

The owner is super unprofessional. I mean just read the comments left by the owner himself on these one star reviews. There’s a reason the customers’ comments are left. My family and I have gotten pierced by him before and it will never happen again. We’ve gone to other piercing places and have never experienced something like this. The piercings were done carelessly making the healing process hell. Proper sanitation on the piercings always take place because of the fear that this might happen. We’ve gone to other piercing shops and they all say that the work done at vertigo is an absolute nightmare. We will NEVER go there again.

Professional clean environment. Steve has done 7 of the 10 tats I have and touched up the three he didnt do. Im never dissapionted and always taken well care of. Steve is always honest and gives his professional opinion. If youre not a puss and show up on time you wont be dissapionted. I will NEVER go anywhere else for my tattoos!

I got my first tattoo here and I am in love with it I most definitely will be going back to get more work done! And the artist are very friendly and keep a conversation going and they have some very good jokes it helped me stay at ease. They definitely are the best!

Steve does a great job! His shop is small and clean. Hes done several pieces for me and my husband and we continue to go back!

My daughter got a tattoo here and it was awful!! Extremely shaky lines and words you can’t even make out. Took her to two other tattoo shops and they both said it was horrible. They asked if the tattoo was done by a college student. Both shops said there was no way to “fix” the words that it would have to be covered up or laser removed.Vertigo owner, Steve, blamed my daughter for his work not being done correctly. Said that she wanted the words too small. Seems to me that a professional tattoo artist would know his own limits on tattoo size and form, especially after applying a stencil!!She ended up paying $400 to have the tattoo covered up & turned into something beautiful. If you want an awesome tattoo skip this place & go to Dana’s.

I went to vertigo to Steve to get matching tattoos with my daughter and he did fine other than a slight broken line. I went back a couple weeks later on a Saturday after sending him a image with my moms handwriting to get another. It was a daisy and the stem was to say courageous. He did the tattoo and when he got done he asked me if it looked ok. I was happy with what I could see. Even during the tattoo he stated “at least your mom spelled it right”. I got home and took the wrapping off and noticed he had misspelled it by putting a “I” instead of a “e”. I wasn’t even mad because it was a honest mistake that looked like it would be a super easy fix. I messaged him with no reply so a couple days later I messaged again and he said give it a month and he would fix it. I didn’t tell anyone the mistake because I wouldn’t want people to think a certain way about him. I waited a month and reached out to him after seeing where he had some open availability a couple saturdays from then and asked him what was the next Saturday he could get me in to fix it. He stated that he would fix for free through the week but would charge $40 if I came on a Friday or Saturday. I explained I work all week and he again said it would be $40. I had it done on a Saturday because I work so why should he not fix it on a Saturday.? I eventually told him to forget it and that I would find someone else. I Won’t be going back. I was told I am not the only one he has done this to.

I came from Fairfield and drove about 40 minutes to get to this place and as soon as I came there at 4 pm (the time my appointment was scheduled) they told me sorry were closed but on the website it says they close at 9 pm? And then one guy told me Ill see you tomorrow at 1 pm. No one schedules my appointment without asking me before if its okay or not with me. I drove another 40 minutes back to another tattoo shop who greeted me well and set up an appointment the right way. Never going to go back to get a tattoo done at vertigo.

At first, I was scared that my first tattoo experience would be horrific but through lightening things up with his jokes and his demeanor, he made it great. He did a great job and I love the work. It looks exactly like I wanted. I would definitely recommend.

Steve was very kind. It was clean and quick! He gave very detailed instructions on how to keep my piercing clean and even offered his cell if I had any questions.

Do not go here. I received a tattoo from them, and it was so bad I had to get it redone somewhere else. In the end I spent 3x the amount of the original cost of the tattoo getting it redone. Youre better off going to a quality tattoo place in Columbus than here. The artist that reworked my tattoo kept pointing out endless mistakes that this place made on the original tattoo. Do yourself a favor and dont make the mistake of getting a tattoo from Vertigo.

My tattoo is better than what I thought it could be. Steve does amazing work I couldnt go anywhere besides there is just a really clean and professional shop. Plus Steve is really funny and I plan on getting all my tattoo from him.

Great first experience for a tattoo. Steve is funny and conversational which makes it feel like the time flies by. Great work done and couldn’t be happier with it.

Had another great session at vertigo on Friday. Steve covered a tattoo that I’ve hated for years. It turned out amazing. He is the only one that will work on me from now on.

Isaac and Steve were awesome! 100% welcoming and enforced the mask policy, super professional and very good company for getting a tattoo!

Great shop, friendly artists. Quality work. They really care about the work that they put in to the tattoos. I have 4 so far, and I have got them all there. I plan on getting more this summer.

Have had multiple tattoos done by Steve and his professionalism and sense of humor make the experience that much better. Highly recommend

Don’t get piercings here!!! it felt weird there so i went to get it checked out at another place and they said everything about my piercing was wrong. they used to small of a gage for my ear and it would have rejected within a couple months. i was very lucky to catch this when i did because it could have been really bad. now i’m gonna have a scar so thanks guys!! keep up the good work 😬

Some of the best work Ive seen done. Super clean work areas, and great conversations throughout the process. The best experience I couldve asked for, thank you!!! I cant recommend this place enough.

We felt very comfortable and the atmosphere of the place was great. He was absoultly amazing. Will definitely be coming back for tattoos and piercings.

Ive had 4 tats done at Vertigo and they are all awesome!! Will definitely be getting a few more from Steve!!

They only want to do tattoos that are from the internet. Nothing original! I called with details of exactly what I wanted and was told I needed to find a picture on the internet of the exact thing I wanted. No talent! Nothing Artistic about this place. Very rude and money hungry....DONT WASTE Your Time Or Money......THEY SUCK!!!!!!!

Awesome experience! Fair price. Steve was very friendly and had me cracking up the whole time! Id definitely recommend this place!

I had my navel done and I love it. The place is super nice, the owner is hilarious and personable. I wasn’t nervous or anything. I recommend it 100%.

Owner is very unprofessional he likes to scare his client as you sit there had tattoo work done simple basic lines and he did a horrible job

Best tattoo shop/artist in Ohio .. only place I get ink and you should too

Ive been coming to vertigo (18 years) for all of my tattoo and body piercings. Steve is the best!
