I cannot imagine working with a more perfect artist than Luka @ Evolved for my last tattoo! When I approached them with the initial concept (a personal take on a classic literary scene) they were excited and assigned thoughtful homework to ensure they understood what was important to me in the design. The consultation and booking process were easy to complete virtually.
The piece was scheduled to take 2 full days of tattooing spaced 4 weeks apart, both of which were scheduled up front making planning easy. When a true emergency impacted our schedules for the 2nd session, Luka was great about getting us rescheduled for a later date.
When the day arrived and I finally got to see the design I was floored by how well it turned out. Luka created a truly unique illustration that went beyond my expectations for the piece. They took great care to make sure we were both happy with the placement and all the elements before getting started.
Luka made being in the chair as pleasant as possible throughout our sessions. They created a safe space that was very clean and comfortable, and offered breaks as needed to ensure we both felt our best. I also enjoyed our chatter when I wasn’t trying to tune out and ignore the pain. The second session took place in their new Evolved studio on Hudson and the space is so cool! Definitely appreciated being surrounded by fun art and being able to get fantastic coffee and snacks at the coffee shop on the 1st floor (Casa Cacao).
I’ve followed several different aftercare routines over the years, but the bandages/care instructions Luka provided worked best by far! For a highly detailed piece the covers my leg from knee to ankle, I was surprised by how well the healing process went.
If you’re looking for an artist who can transform an idea into a magical design and provide a safe and positive experience in the process, Luka is your person!

Got my belly button pierced here and my experience was amazing! I originally had an appointment somewhere else and it ended up not working out so we went to Evolved and they got me in quick and the piercer was excellent. He walked me through everything and was very calm and reassuring. Super nice people, very clean, and my piercing looks great. Definitely recommend!

"Thank you Cris. You explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable." Took my daughter for her 16th birthday (free piercing) to have her helix pierced. The place is super clean and very well organized. I was impressed with all the options they had for jewelry. They explained everything to her and made sure she understood how to care for her new piercing. Cris talked her through the entire process.

This was my first tattoo and Joe made it one the best I could have asked for. It was a Mother’s Day outing with my 2 dtrs. The vibe the care to details down to choice of music and wonderful conversation was definitely way above my expectation. He was a perfect match for us. To top off our stay one of my dtrs and I also got an ear piercing. Clair was so patient and explained everything. Her warm personality was a breath of fresh air. All of my reservations were met with genuine concern and care. They made our day perfect. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience. Your shop is #1 in my book!
Stylist: Joe did our tattooing and Claire did our piercings. Very very happy with the experience. They were very knowledgeable and made everything so relaxing and the best we could have asked for

I usually prefer this location because the piercers here are so sweet, but I was very disappointed last time I came here as I had to wait well over an hour past my appointment time. I was told there were complicated scheduled piercings before mine which held things up, but I saw walk-ins still getting called in before me when my appointment was over 40 minutes late already.
At this point I suspect they were eager to prioritize walk ins to make more $$$ and make me wait since I already committed to an appointment. As someone with a disability with sensory issues, having an appointment time was meant to make this experience accessible for me.
I feel taken advantage of and will not be returning to this business.

I dropped in one day to inquire about a piercing and Callan at the front desk was very kind and helpful. I ended up getting a piercing and Nick did a great job. Again, he was kind and reassuring as we chose the right spot to pierce. I'd recommend Evolved for your piercing needs. Plus, they were voted best piercing place in Columbus in 2024. Something to know: The jewelry can be expensive, but it's good quality and is meant to stay in for a long time.

Such a long story as to why I waited until I turned 50 to begin my piercings journey and I won't bore you with the details. Nonetheless, it's been a yearly event that was almost compromised by a recent surgery where I thought my piercings were closed. Right after surgery I drove over to Evolved as a walk-in and they were kind and quick and got my piercings "all the way together". Thank You for the "All In the Family" treatment, but also expert care.
Just an additional note .. I was asked about my pronouns to which I answered with hesitation. Im a bit old school now and my response was not swift. I ABSOLUTELY love that your entire business culture is about being respectful and inclusive in everyway. I know it's more than just a business culture it is who you all are. This reaffirms my choice of being an Evolved customer.

My 17 year old daughter wanted her septum pierced for her birthday & I am so glad we chose this place. I've been pierced at another shop in Columbus and it was $25 less here for the piercing. They had a really nice, big selection of jewelry. First thing I noticed was all the cool artwork all over the place & the amazing tattoo photos on the walls. Second, as soon as we walked in, we were greeted by friendly & helpful employees, who gave us their opinions & ample information about the process, even though they were busy. Just really cool, welcoming people everywhere. Third, I noticed customers were seemingly relaxed & happy-all smiling & chatting...Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, all different races, types & cultures, all getting tattoos or piercings, all enjoying themselves & just giving good vibes all around. So if inclusivity is important to you, this is the place to go. I loved the welcoming atmosphere. Wish I could remember the name of the guy who pierced my daughter...he was laid back, funny and professional. We'll definitely be back! Oh yeah, if you're interested in piercings, they have a great deal if you get it done on your birthday. Highly recommend checking them out ?

I have been contemplating piercing my navel and eyebrow for some time. I stopped in to see when I can get scheduled and they took me the same day. They explained everything thoroughly and made me feel comfortable during the session. They have great aftercare information on their website that makes it easy to understand how to take care of the piercings. This was in my bucket list, so I can check this one off!!

These people are literally the best. I’ve been here multiple times and have always had the best experience. They try their best to accommodate walk - ins. All the piercers have treated me with such respect and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable with the whole process. They pretty much tell you each step they are doing and are great with consent! The attendants at the front desk are just as cool. They will help you find what you are looking for and work with you if you’re looking in a certain price range. They’re honest about how things will look and their suggestions. So helpful, and so nice!
