Yesterday, Michael started an arm piece for me. I gave him ideas of what I was interested in and gave him free range on the concept. All I can say is wow, I am amazed by the work so far! His communication on what he was doing, lets just say no one else has ever walked me through the process like he did. Michael is very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable having him work on me. I cannot wait for the final product – I know with what it looks like so far, it will be amazing! Read Less

The owner, Billy, did my tattoo in January after the death of my unborn baby. I wanted a tattoo of the baby's name and prints on my wrist. It was my first tattoo and I was nervous, but I wanted something to honor the baby's memory. I felt that the tattoo artist did very little to make me feel comfortable or to allow me to make sure I was comfortable with the design. I felt like they had an attitude problem with me and bad customer service. It would be great if they would be more sensitive... I personally wouldn't go back. Read Less

Clean place...Walked in and 4 guys could of cared less about tattooing me  and more about a video so finally one guy greeted me.  Pretty fucking crappy first impression of the place.  I've had work done here before but not from Curtis who did a good job.  Curtis has been doing this for 19 years so I was pretty relieved he was my artist.  I had a question regarding a possible touch up, and he let me know that if after a month I still needed a touch up he would take care of it.  If you're ok with zero customer service skills (minus Curtis) but good work, I'd recommend this place.

It took me a long time to decide to actually get a tattoo and I did quite a bit of research on who and where to have it done. This location was suggested to me by a friend with a specific artist in mind. I looked at a few different places and several different artists. I called the gallery and spoke with Ravyn a few times. She was extremely helpful and never condescending to me which felt good. I tried to get an appointment but couldn't get the scheduling to work so I decided to do a walk in Saturday and wait to have Luke do the tattoo after looking at some of his other tattoos. When I arrived I was told it would be a few hours until he finished the one he was working on. It wasn't a problem for us - we came back close to the time mentioned and got the paperwork done and Luke was ready. He spent time working on a design for me after looking at what I brought until I was comfortable with it. He was fun and made me feel relaxed. We chatted about nothing and he was open about his own tattoos when we asked. For my first tattoo experience, I couldn't be more pleased. I was extremely happy with my experience at Envy and with the art Luke provided. I would recommend the gallery and Luke to any and every one. If I decide on another one I know where I will be heading! Thanks Luke and team. Read Less

We came to Columbus after a looooong road trip, helping our friends move from coast to coast. We had decided to all get tattooed once we get here. We looked up places that had a solid reputation and could fit all for of us in within a 2 hour span. We talked to Raven over the phone and she was so very nice and accommodating. We were able to make an appointment for 11 am the next day right on the spot. When we got to the parlor, everyone was super friendly. We were in and out of this place in no time without any of the artists rushing their work. The individual tattoos we got turned out amazing! All of us are THRILLED with their own piece. We were so lucky to have found such an amazing place! Giovanni, Scott and Steve did a fantastic job. Mine turned far better than the sketch that I had brought. RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND!

Two part review! Part one: The Tattoo. I walked into Skin Envy with 3 friends to get small tattoos on a Saturday Afternoon. The place was clean, a little scattered as we filled out forms and were passed from the desk person to an apprentice to the artist, but overall, happy and positive. I thought we'd have to wait but we got right in!Our artist, Gumby, was fun. Nice, funny, made us laugh, did great work. This is my 5th tattoo and I adore it. He did amazing. FIVE STARS TO GUMBY. Part two: The Owner. Everything was going great, until the owner showed up, busts into the room during our tattoo and started yelling at our artist. Apparently only two guests in a room at a time, and while there were only two in our room, our two friends were in the hallway cheering us on. That is a no-no to the owner apparently, so he began yelling at our artist and announcing he now had to pay him a $50 fine. "I just love free money!"It's fine to have rules, truly. It not fine to lose your shit in front of customers. The best part is that I was Facebook Live'ing the entire experience to my 26k friends and the whole painful thing was caught on video. Which the owner apparently began to realize as I held my camera in my hand, jaw open, shocked that anyone would start yelling while someone was physically tattooing another human being. He just jumped up on the counter in our tattoo room and ribbed the heck out of our artist over and over. It was painfully awkward and honestly, we'll never go back. And it's all because of the owner. Which is shame for all the amazing artists there, including Gumby, who was awesome. Read Less

I have been tattooed twice by BH.  1st was good. Had him add on to it. He put no effort into it, not even looking at the original until the day of my 2nd appointment.  He just half ass drew on me with a marker and traced over that. Finally got his effortless work fixed by another artist. His half ass add-on ruined the original tat he did. The place is clean for sure. If you can get passed the owner constantly talking about himself, swearing, being interrupted by employees, and the owner constantly yelling at employees, and WAY over paying for average work, then this place is for you. I've discovered another shop where I have had 12 hours of work done for 30% less an hour, cleaner lines, peaceful atmosphere, enjoyable conversation. Don't get caught up in this over hyped shop perpetuated by an obnoxious owner who thinks he should be on tv. Not worth it. Place is clean though. Read Less

I've waited a long time for my tattoo from Billy Hill, owner of Envy Skin Gallery. And like anything good in life, the beautiful rocket on my back was totally worth the wait (how long has it been? Three years?). We've been talking about him doing work on me forevs, and never quite gotten around to it (although we have gotten around to many instances of consuming adult beverages and whatnot in the meanwhile, of course). Wellllll now I can finally write a well-deserved stellar review. I've changed my mind about 97 times about what I want Billy to do on me... at one point I was looking for examples of Cyrillic script, which derailed the whole process for a while, but it became apparent that what needed to happen was basically just freestyling. I went to BH with a quickly drawn sketch the boy had done on a napkin, to show the perspective of the rocket that I wanted. Billy literally just drew directly on my back for about ten minutes, and came up with something quite amazing. No carbon paper, no waiting around while he painstakingly drew something original... no, Billy Hill is the most professional, efficient artist I have ever encountered. Direct to skin sketch and rocket/flames color tattoo (which stretches all the way across my shoulders) took under two hours and is very high quality original art work. I was pretty much dumbfounded. I'll post a picture when it stops peeling (eww). It should be noted that Billy Hill studied in Japan, Europe, and all over this crazy country - he is extremely well traveled and well taught. His studio has a vaguely Japanese aesthetic and is incredibly clean, with a calming color of green on the walls. Billy himself is hilarious, crazy, and ultimately geniune and down to earth - a completely amazing guy. He and his West Virginia accent had me in stitches, as usual, the whole time he was tattooing me. Even more awesomely, BH has a collection of YouTube videos about tattooing and about his exploits... just look up IAmBillyHill on youtube, or go to his website iambillyhill.com. He also has an iphone app. Just saying. I highly recommend checking out Billy Hill and the other talented artists at Envy Skin Gallery. This was a pretty mind-bending experience. :D Read Less

The owner, Billy, did my tattoo in January after the death of my unborn baby. I wanted a tattoo of the baby's name and prints on my wrist. It was my first tattoo and I was nervous, but I wanted something to honor the baby's memory. I felt that the tattoo artist did very little to make me feel comfortable or to allow me to make sure I was comfortable with the design. I felt like they had an attitude problem with me and bad customer service. It would be great if they would be more sensitive... I personally wouldn't go back. Read Less

Clean place...Walked in and 4 guys could of cared less about tattooing me  and more about a video so finally one guy greeted me.  Pretty fucking crappy first impression of the place.  I've had work done here before but not from Curtis who did a good job.  Curtis has been doing this for 19 years so I was pretty relieved he was my artist.  I had a question regarding a possible touch up, and he let me know that if after a month I still needed a touch up he would take care of it.  If you're ok with zero customer service skills (minus Curtis) but good work, I'd recommend this place.

It took me a long time to decide to actually get a tattoo and I did quite a bit of research on who and where to have it done. This location was suggested to me by a friend with a specific artist in mind. I looked at a few different places and several different artists. I called the gallery and spoke with Ravyn a few times. She was extremely helpful and never condescending to me which felt good. I tried to get an appointment but couldn't get the scheduling to work so I decided to do a walk in Saturday and wait to have Luke do the tattoo after looking at some of his other tattoos. When I arrived I was told it would be a few hours until he finished the one he was working on. It wasn't a problem for us - we came back close to the time mentioned and got the paperwork done and Luke was ready. He spent time working on a design for me after looking at what I brought until I was comfortable with it. He was fun and made me feel relaxed. We chatted about nothing and he was open about his own tattoos when we asked. For my first tattoo experience, I couldn't be more pleased. I was extremely happy with my experience at Envy and with the art Luke provided. I would recommend the gallery and Luke to any and every one. If I decide on another one I know where I will be heading! Thanks Luke and team. Read Less

We came to Columbus after a looooong road trip, helping our friends move from coast to coast. We had decided to all get tattooed once we get here. We looked up places that had a solid reputation and could fit all for of us in within a 2 hour span. We talked to Raven over the phone and she was so very nice and accommodating. We were able to make an appointment for 11 am the next day right on the spot. When we got to the parlor, everyone was super friendly. We were in and out of this place in no time without any of the artists rushing their work. The individual tattoos we got turned out amazing! All of us are THRILLED with their own piece.

Two part review! Part one: The Tattoo. I walked into Skin Envy with 3 friends to get small tattoos on a Saturday Afternoon. The place was clean, a little scattered as we filled out forms and were passed from the desk person to an apprentice to the artist, but overall, happy and positive. I thought we'd have to wait but we got right in!Our artist, Gumby, was fun. Nice, funny, made us laugh, did great work. This is my 5th tattoo and I adore it. He did amazing. FIVE STARS TO GUMBY. Part two: The Owner. Everything was going great, until the owner showed up, busts into the room during our tattoo and started yelling at our artist. Apparently only two guests in a room at a time, and while there were only two in our room, our two friends were in the hallway cheering us on. That is a no-no to the owner apparently, so he began yelling at our artist and announcing he now had to pay him a $50 fine. "I just love free money!"It's fine to have rules, truly. It not fine to lose your shit in front of customers. The best part is that I was Facebook Live'ing the entire experience to my 26k friends and the whole painful thing was caught on video. Which the owner apparently began to realize as I held my camera in my hand, jaw open, shocked that anyone would start yelling while someone was physically tattooing another human being. He just jumped up on the counter in our tattoo room and ribbed the heck out of our artist over and over. It was painfully awkward and honestly, we'll never go back. And it's all because of the owner. Which is shame for all the amazing artists there, including Gumby, who was awesome. Read Less

I have been tattooed twice by BH.  1st was good. Had him add on to it. He put no effort into it, not even looking at the original until the day of my 2nd appointment.  He just half ass drew on me with a marker and traced over that. Finally got his effortless work fixed by another artist. His half ass add-on ruined the original tat he did. The place is clean for sure. If you can get passed the owner constantly talking about himself, swearing, being interrupted by employees, and the owner constantly yelling at employees, and WAY over paying for average work, then this place is for you. I've discovered another shop where I have had 12 hours of work done for 30% less an hour, cleaner lines, peaceful atmosphere, enjoyable conversation. Don't get caught up in this over hyped shop perpetuated by an obnoxious owner who thinks he should be on tv. Not worth it. Place is clean though. Read Less

I've waited a long time for my tattoo from Billy Hill, owner of Envy Skin Gallery. And like anything good in life, the beautiful rocket on my back was totally worth the wait (how long has it been? Three years?). We've been talking about him doing work on me forevs, and never quite gotten around to it (although we have gotten around to many instances of consuming adult beverages and whatnot in the meanwhile, of course). Wellllll now I can finally write a well-deserved stellar review. I've changed my mind about 97 times about what I want Billy to do on me... at one point I was looking for examples of Cyrillic script, which derailed the whole process for a while, but it became apparent that what needed to happen was basically just freestyling. I went to BH with a quickly drawn sketch the boy had done on a napkin, to show the perspective of the rocket that I wanted. Billy literally just drew directly on my back for about ten minutes, and came up with something quite amazing. No carbon paper, no waiting around while he painstakingly drew something original... no, Billy Hill is the most professional, efficient artist I have ever encountered. Direct to skin sketch and rocket/flames color tattoo (which stretches all the way across my shoulders) took under two hours and is very high quality original art work. I was pretty much dumbfounded. I'll post a picture when it stops peeling (eww). It should be noted that Billy Hill studied in Japan, Europe, and all over this crazy country - he is extremely well traveled and well taught. His studio has a vaguely Japanese aesthetic and is incredibly clean, with a calming color of green on the walls. Billy himself is hilarious, crazy, and ultimately geniune and down to earth - a completely amazing guy. He and his West Virginia accent had me in stitches, as usual, the whole time he was tattooing me. Even more awesomely, BH has a collection of YouTube videos about tattooing and about his exploits... just look up IAmBillyHill on youtube, or go to his website iambillyhill.com. He also has an iphone app. Just saying. I highly recommend checking out Billy Hill and the other talented artists at Envy Skin Gallery. This was a pretty mind-bending experience. :D Read Less
