Inspired by Ink

Do not use this tattoo shop.  I had an appointment scheduled for 12-21-2012, showed up for the appointment to find the shop closed for remodeling.  No one contacted me to inform, though I made the appointment in person and watched Kevin write my contact info on the calendar.  Regardless of how talented they may be, this is a mark of their unprofessionalism and their are many other great options in Columbus ( was taken as a walk in by Short North Tattoo on the same night, was given a great tattoo by Matt, at a price less than quoted by Inspired.

Love this place and the guys here!

Every year I have an itch to add another tattoo
(this one was #14)
and being new to Columbus I had no idea where to go so I figured High Street would be a great start, seeing as there are 9 studios, so I started in Short North and worked my way to Inspired.

It seems the further you go the cheaper and less stuck up they get, I only wanted something small and having guys tell you they charge at least $100 for no matter what is beyond crazy.

The initials I wanted shouldn't have been more than $20, even Inspired doesn't do less than $60 but they adjusted my husbands price so that we were happy with what we paid and more importantly with the great job that they did!

The work is very professional, fast, clean I am so pleased and sure we will be back for more!

Oh, they don't take cards so be sure to bring cash!

I came here spur of the moment for a tattoo I had been longing for for awhile. The staff was super friendly and knowledable. I had originally wanted "Om Mani Padme Hum" (in the Tibetan script, think Brandon Boyd's tattoo, but black and not pointy) on my wrist, but he advised that the area was too small and it would turn into a blog. Therefore, we decided to place it in the middle of my side. Such a great, choice and I couldn't be more happy.
I've had it for over a year now, and am now itching for my 3rd tattoo- I will definitely be going to Inspired. It's clean, and the artists are very talented.

To reserve my appointment (they could have done it right then) I only had to put down $20. Score! And the conversations going on in there, were nothing short of hilarious!
