Riot Ink - Custom Tattoos

Peter was great! Light handed so didn't hurt at all. Very professional!

Happy to say my first time tattoo experience was at Riot Ink! Super chill and clean at the Powell location, Pete got me right with some fine line work and truly encapsulated my vision. Check out his Instagram @moasic.dermis 🙏🏼

I am new to the shop but a return customer of one of their new artists Johnny. Very solid guy and puts out impressive work every time. Will be back!

Just spent my third full day at Riot within the last few months with another on the books for March and I don’t want to go anywhere else. The vibes are great, anyone I’ve come into contact with has been beyond friendly and welcoming. They have such a good group of artists that cover pretty much anything you could think of, and better then most of the artists I’ve been following in the Columbus area. I’m a handful and make everyone be my best friend and if Ive driven these people crazy, they didn’t let me know it - and honestly I’ve just had a really good time in their shop. They’re definitely the kind of people that want to work with you and create with you, but also be honest about what will and won’t work and how to incorporate what you want with what will actually turn out well. They’re great with their communication about everything from scheduling, parking, to giving all the info on aftercare. Definitely check out their Instagram and their highlight reels of each of them and you’ll see that this place goes with quality people. Personal experience: I’ve now worked with Jerome (eviljroe on insta) and Ryan (romito_ink614 on insta). Jerome is newer to the shop so his books are more open-anyone looking for darker themed/horror/realism/black and grey should definitely get in with him ASAP before it gets hard to get in with him which I’m sure will take no time at all. He did a black/grey realism piece of a lady with her hands around her face, and octopus tentacles around her neck. The detail is insane and I’ve had people stop to compliment how great it is since I walked out of the shop. I’ve got future ideas I know he’ll execute perfectly and will def be back to see him. Ryan is booked back a little bit but definitely worth the wait. While he doesn’t usually do re-works, I was lucky enough to have him consider reworking an existing shoulder tattoo and incorporate/turn it into a sleeve of florals. The shading, dot work, and line work is amazing. We’re still working o

I looked for months for someone who could work with different line weights and incorporate my existing tattoos into a cohesive piece on my arm. Peter absolutely killed it. I sent in some reference pictures and then met up with him for a consultation. At my first appointment he took the time to educate me on my skin and how it tattoos (I’m a nerd and loved every minute of it). He knows his stuff and is extremely personable. After two sessions, I am in love with my piece and can’t wait until it’s healed. Have definitely already given his information to multiple friends. The shop itself has a chill vibe and all the staff are fun to talk with. We were all laughing and having a good time. HIGHLY recommend.

the vibe here is so chill and all the artists are amazing! i’ve gotten 2 tattoos done with peter and i love them to death so much! i highly recommend! 💜💜

Got my first tattoo here after a lot of personal research and Ryan fulfilled all my wishes for my floral tattoo. He was pleasant and professional giving me plenty of time to process my decisions and choices prior to starting. His work is amazing and his artistry and attention to detail is so evident. I’m so pleased and will recommend him to all!

Pete was amazing! We had a pseudo plan but when we got here he was so kind and patient. It was my first tattoo and he was simply wonderful. I was thrilled with the results. 10/10 already planning my next tattoo with him!

First time ever getting a tattoo, my appointment was with Matt! Couldn’t ask for a better artist! He talked me through everything he did, explained everything, and kept me talking so I wouldn’t be so nervous! Thanks to all the staff! I would definitely recommend! Just ask for Matt!

Just had my first ever piece done after putting it off for years. Scott (@arvilthegrey) did an awesome job from working with me on style and sizing, to having a light/quick hand on the tattoo gun and wrapping me up in one session. 5/5 experience - If you’ve got the itch for a new tattoo, this is a good place to get scratched 👍

Scott did an amazing job on my daughters tattoo! He made her very comfortable and at ease. And the tattoo was incredible!

First time getting a tattoo and had a great experience. Excellent communication with the staff with coordinating getting on the schedule which was a big deciding factor on where to go. Chris was my artist and although the tattoo was super simple - he took his time to make sure I was totally happy with the stencil and had a great chat during the whole process. Will definitely head back here in the future!

I visited the downtown location and let me say this, the decor and design aesthetic was so beautiful and regal. I loved the feel and ambiance that is created, music was lovely also. The artists were all so friendly and kind. My artist Nathan who is also the owner did an outstanding job per usual and I will most definitely be back.

Absolutely love the quality of this tattoo! Great line work, amazing shading and tattoo artists are very personable.

Riot Ink and Ryan Romito were amazing. Professional but relaxed atmosphere. Great creative help and phenomenal finished product! My new favorite place and artist!

I did not get my tattoo here but went here for communication. The receptionist was very kind and understanding. She gave clear communication for appointments , understanding tattoo positioning. I wish I would’ve have got her name. Overall their customer service is great. I’m pretty sure their tattoos are going to be equivalent .

Got my first tattoo a few weeks back by Lucky. Great experience, good conversation, and clean studio. Tattoo healed great and I am thrilled about it!

Great tattoo experience! Worked with the famous Gunnar to create a very unique color piece. From start to finish was a fantastic experience. Gunnar is a true professional, friendly, honest, and insanely talented. The shop is very cool, clean and organized. Everyone working there was also friendly and professional. Awesome atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I went to Scott here for my first tattoo and it was a great experience! The smooth online (via email) scheduling made me feel safe and cared for, Scott went out of his way to make sure my design was right for the look I wanted and where I wanted it. As a bonus he was really fast, which made my little minimalist tattoo super affordable. The only thing I would change is that I wish I had been counseled to move the heron the tiniest bit further down my arm- as you can see, even my shortest sleeves cut off its head! But that's partly on me. Overall, had a great time, it healed quickly, and I promise I'll name a buffalo for you, Scott :) Photos are from the day of and a month later. My friend was also able to come with me and get a cute walk-in!

This was my first tattoo and it was an amazing experience. Very clean, fun, killer atmosphere. Scott said he had the "touch of a baby angel" and definitely did. It hurt a lot less than I think it could've, and he was fast! Great to work with, very funny, and was straight to the point when I asked his opinion, which really helped. Highly recommend him and Riot Ink.
