The staff is extremely friendly and creative. I provided my expected design and they added their professional opinion. The experience was laid back and professional. It was my third tattoo so I knew what to expect going in. I would say the experience is more personnel than just another person, as seen in high volume shops. The quality of the tattoo was top notch. I am happy with my experience and would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Thrill Vulture is awesome! I've gotten two tattoos there, both of them by Matt Brown: Bag End in March 2016, and the Tree of Gondor in February 2018. Matt was really accommodating and listened to everything that I wanted. He's also a super nerd, which is awesome because he knew exactly what I was talking about and had a real appreciation for it. I shopped around at a few other places, and while they seemed nice, they didn't have an appreciation for Tolkien like me, so I didn't necessarily trust them to design a tattoo that I knew I was going to love and want on my body forever. I'm writing this in March 2018, and my Bag End tattoo is holding up really well. I still love it and get a ton of compliments on it. My tree healed really well and looks great. If I ever get another tattoo, you bet I'll be coming back here. I haven't had any work done by Naomi, but she did the scheduling for me and was wonderful to chat with. These guys are clean, amicable, and very professional. I'd recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Just got another piece done by Naomi at Thrill Vulture Tattoo. It is a family owned and run shop in Westerville that's been operating for 23 years or so. I usually bring in a design and let them work with it to make the transfer and go back a week or so later but there are plenty of flash designs to choose from as well. Naomi and Matt are versatile artists and can do multiple styles. The shop is clean, the atmosphere relaxed, and the prices are very reasonable. They take walk-ins and appointments. They also host a flea every couple of months with lots of cool stuff. If you are going to get a tattoo I strongly recommend them. Read Less

Thrill Vulture is owned and operated by a highly skilled and artistic tattooer who has been tattooing longer than most of you young schmucks have been alive. Naomi can take whatever tired ass Pinterest design you found on the internet and make it into a work of art that you will still be proud of in 20, 30, 50 years. If you're smart, you'll take all of her advice. All of her work is good, but her portraits will make you cry tears of pure joy. Matt makes the most ferocious tat...toos, yet has the gentlest hands in the biz, for those of you who need a light touch. You can wear his body art like armor or lingerie. These two are dyed in the wool, no bullshit, hard workers who want to see their customers happy. They are versatile and blunt, two things you need in a tattooer. Their mix of skill and creativity is way more than most of us mouth breathers can fully appreciate. So bring your happy ass in to Thrill Vulture Tattoo and get inked by the cool kids. My name's Jeni and I approve this message. See More Read Less

I walked in on a Saturday (thinking Saturdays are prime tattoo days), and got right in on a walk in. You know your tattooing experience will be amazing when the shop plays one of your favorite musicians.
After sketching a few ideas and settling on a design, Matt Brown went to work inking me for my second time. In between the talk about our favorite bands, careers, and sprinkled with his tattooing history, Matt created exactly what I set out to get.
If you ever feel the need to get some ink done in a place that has people passionate about tattoos and music, then go to Thrill Vulture Tattooing; I sure as hell will.Read Less

I got my first tattoo here on recommendation and as a gift from a friend. The design was to be one of my own...simple 2 dates and a name in a specific font. Overall I will say I'm satisfied with the work as it holds special meaning, but it has not set well with me that my design was pushed aside and the "artitst" took it upon themselves to change it and put their touch to it....and to be picky, the placement is slightly off from where I wanted it and 2 of the numbers on the dates looked smudged, very overpriced for the quality and to be honest when viewing other of their examples of work around the office the stuff looks cartoonish and very amateur and the shop itself feels dirty. I can not recommend this shop at all. Read Less

I am not a fan of pain. I need to be drugged to rip off a band aid. So it may seem odd that I decided to get a tattoo, which equals many continuous moments of pain, needles, and blood. I was able to rationalize the decision by explaining to myself it was for art. I mean Van Gough lost and ear, I could certainly stand to loose some pigment.Thrill Vulture is not a place to cater to my fears. The artists are tough and somehow gave me the strength to not cry...too much. That and the fear I would be laughed at by my friends got me a sweet little tattoo the size of a quarter on my back. It feels big to me.Regardless of my personal issues, this is a great place to get a tattoo. Miles away from the trendy studios downtown Thrill Vulture produces great tattoo's. My tattoo was a collaboration of an idea in my mind brought to life by Naomi. My friend got a tattoo that looks like it was stamped from the page of the book she found it in on to her skin. Both look great and are vivid with colors. I like how the artists will work with you to find just the right design.The studio is fun and makes you feel like you are rebelling from your parents in its suburban location. The best part is walking distance from Graters so you can soothe your pain with an ice cream post-tat. Well worth the fifteen minute drive to Westerville, Thrill Vulture is a great place to get a tattoo. Read Less

Best Tattoo shop in central Ohio, hands down. I've gotten most of my tattoos done there, and each time is better than the last.

Thrill Vulture is owned and operated by a highly skilled and artistic tattooer who has been tattooing longer than most of you young schmucks have been alive. Naomi can take whatever tired ass Pinterest design you found on the internet and make it into a work of art that you will still be proud of in 20, 30, 50 years. If you're smart, you'll take all of her advice. All of her work is good, but her portraits will make you cry tears of pure joy. Matt makes the most ferocious tat...toos, yet has the gentlest hands in the biz, for those of you who need a light touch. You can wear his body art like armor or lingerie. These two are dyed in the wool, no bullshit, hard workers who want to see their customers happy. They are versatile and blunt, two things you need in a tattooer. Their mix of skill and creativity is way more than most of us mouth breathers can fully appreciate. So bring your happy ass in to Thrill Vulture Tattoo and get inked by the cool kids. My name's Jeni and I approve this message. See More Read Less

I got a very special memorial tattoo done, and Naomi took wonderful care of me. She drew up a fantastic piece from a rough sketch I brought in. We had great conversation while I was being tattooed, and it helped to take my mind off the pain. The tattoo turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I had a terrific experience and I can't wait to get another one! I highly recommend Thrill Vulture for your next piece of body art!Read Less

I walked in on a Saturday (thinking Saturdays are prime tattoo days), and got right in on a walk in. You know your tattooing experience will be amazing when the shop plays one of your favorite musicians.
After sketching a few ideas and settling on a design, Matt Brown went to work inking me for my second time. In between the talk about our favorite bands, careers, and sprinkled with his tattooing history, Matt created exactly what I set out to get.
If you ever feel the need to get some ink done in a place that has people passionate about tattoos and music, then go to Thrill Vulture Tattooing; I sure as hell will.Read Less

I got my first tattoo here on recommendation and as a gift from a friend. The design was to be one of my own...simple 2 dates and a name in a specific font. Overall I will say I'm satisfied with the work as it holds special meaning, but it has not set well with me that my design was pushed aside and the "artitst" took it upon themselves to change it and put their touch to it....and to be picky, the placement is slightly off from where I wanted it and 2 of the numbers on the dates looked smudged, very overpriced for the quality and to be honest when viewing other of their examples of work around the office the stuff looks cartoonish and very amateur and the shop itself feels dirty. I can not recommend this shop at all. Read Less

This is an awesome family owned and run business in Uptown Westerville. Naomi recently did my husband's first tattoo as well as my second tattoo. She took great care into making sure our designs were perfect down to the tiniest little details. Both of our tattoos turned out amazing, even better than we imagined. A clean/charming shop, great owners and fair pricing amounts to a great experience overall, and we could not be happier with our choice to go to TVT. Hoping to plan a return trip soon! Read Less

So anyone in Columbus knows that you can throw a dart at a map and find a tattoo shop. Thrill Vulture is one of the area's best kept secrets. Both Naomi & Matt do all types of tattoos instead of one specialized style. It's a very clean shop and super relaxed atmosphere. The prices are great for the work being done. They take walk ins & appointments. Read Less

I am not a fan of pain. I need to be drugged to rip off a band aid. So it may seem odd that I decided to get a tattoo, which equals many continuous moments of pain, needles, and blood. I was able to rationalize the decision by explaining to myself it was for art. I mean Van Gough lost and ear, I could certainly stand to loose some pigment.Thrill Vulture is not a place to cater to my fears. The artists are tough and somehow gave me the strength to not cry...too much. That and the fear I would be laughed at by my friends got me a sweet little tattoo the size of a quarter on my back. It feels big to me.Regardless of my personal issues, this is a great place to get a tattoo. Miles away from the trendy studios downtown Thrill Vulture produces great tattoo's. My tattoo was a collaboration of an idea in my mind brought to life by Naomi. My friend got a tattoo that looks like it was stamped from the page of the book she found it in on to her skin. Both look great and are vivid with colors. I like how the artists will work with you to find just the right design.The studio is fun and makes you feel like you are rebelling from your parents in its suburban location. The best part is walking distance from Graters so you can soothe your pain with an ice cream post-tat. Well worth the fifteen minute drive to Westerville, Thrill Vulture is a great place to get a tattoo. Read Less
