  A couple of friends/acquaintances recommended Memento. The artists there definitely know what they're doing and are very talented.
  
  Positives: they do great work, shop is clean, receptionist was nice.
  
  Negatives: some of the artists need to work on their customer service skills - great work, not so great interactions with customers (easily frustrated, etc)
  
  If you're going to Memento, be sure to ask for Iggy or Cary.

  Adam Fox is amazing. He did a cover up on my back. I chose this place because of the amazing yelp reviews, glad I did! They all do great tattoos.

  These guys are crazy talented with their artwork.  My artist wasn't much of a talker and didn't go over the sterilization/safety requirements, which definitely should have been done.  They seemed a little unorganized and I waited for about an hour after my scheduled appointment before we got started which was a little annoying, but after a long night out I just sort of dozed off on their big comfy couch.  I have several other tattoos, but after coming here I have realized that other tattoo "artists'" claims of not being able to make lines very small or thin were complete B.S.  I am much happier with the results than I initially anticipated.  The price was very reasonable for the high quality of work.  My only qualm was waiting for so long and not being given the procedural talk as I always have (I have 8 tattoos).  That said, I will absolutely go back for any more work and probably for a cover-up, and definitely recommend them.  Just be sure to ask any questions you might have!
  
  Also, they had the History Channel on tv.  Big plus because I'm a big history geek!

  I did some research before getting my first tattoo and decided to check out Memento Tattoo based on yelp and google reviews. I called beforehand and the receptionist was really helpful and nice. When I went in to show my sketch, Cary, my artist was super nice and gave me tips on what would look good/bad and how he could modify my design for the size I wanted. My roommate and I both got tattoos. Being younger women getting first tattoos I expected to be patronized a little but he was nothing but respectful and nice. The place is really clean and organized and the prices were very reasonable. This place is legit and I have not a complaint to write. Great gem.

  My experience at Memento Tattoo getting work done by David Tevenal was great.
  I've been to a few other tattoo shops in Columbus over the years and the vibe at Memento seems the most laid back and attitude free. All the folks there are super friendly. The shop is bright, super clean and full of art, which reminds you that's what you're getting, a piece of art.
  
  I had stumbled upon some of David Tevenal's tattoos on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FTattooSnob.com&s=2b957479afd0eb90caa365f661776c3acbd211088008dbedcae35ce9913240df" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://TattooSnob.com</a> and after looking at his Facebook page and seeing his art and tattoos, I immediately fell in love with his work and more importantly his work-ethic. The guy is constantly churning out page after page of flash work and hitting the road going to conventions. That really impressed me and is why I ended up traveling from LA to Columbus to get a tattoo from him.
  David did a big cover up piece on my lower leg. First session took about four hours and I am going back in January to get the color done now that I am all healed.
  
  I definitely recommend checking out Memento for your next tattoo and can't speak more highly of David Tevenal and his tattoos.

  Memento is the ONLY shop i will get tattooed at...PERIOD. Generally, I have had awful experiences at other shops around Columbus.
  My artist is David Tevenal, he consistently does amazing work and is professional from his sanitary precautions to his customer interaction. The finished product is very much worth the price.

  Memento is a fantastic shop!  
  
  I went in to have a consultation with one of the owners, Scott a few weeks ago.  He was very professional and instantly put me at ease with my cover up I had in mind.
  
  When the time came for my appointment, Scott was super nice and gentle.  I have about 9 tattoos in all, and I've had good and bad tattoo experiences.  Scott freehanded the whole tattoo and it cam out flawless.  
  
  I can't speak highly enough of Memento.  It's clean, and the people in the shop are professional and very talented.  
  
  I suggest checking the place out if you have an itch (and tolerance for pain) for a tattoo!

  Holy shit. How has no one reviewed Memento Tattoo Gallery on Yelp, yet?
  
  FIRST!
  
  Alright, so do you have really shitty tattoos? Well, that's your fault for not going to an awesome shop like Memento that houses three of Columbus' best tattooists.
  
  I'm not joking, either. Just look online at the work of other Columbus tattooists, then look at Memento's work. There's no comparison.
  
  I've met Cary and Scott -- two gnarly and super-talented artists -- but only have worked with Dave Tevenal, who I can't say enough about. The man is a wildly inspired artist who can claim three pieces on my body and will most likely be able to claim a couple more before I'm dead or my skin is too damn nasty and wrinkled for tattoos.
  
  So next time you're looking up Columbus tattooists, hit up Memento before you commit to another shitty street shop tattoo.
