my girlfriend got hers years ago from a guy named Lars that worked at Viking. Not sure if he's still around but he did a crazy good job of shading and lines on her celtic knot.

I have gotten both of my tattoos done by D. Willy at Sweet Baby Octane on 5th Ave in Grandview. I believe he was part owner of the 8 Ball shop of past, but don't quote me on it. I have known him now for about 5 years. Not sure if you are familiar with the artwork of Camille Rose Garcia, but that is the imagery he did for my work. He did a great job.
Let me know if you need his information or anything.

Durb is a national talent still based right here in Cool-umbus. Check his site out at http://www.durbster.com and his contact info is there too. He started and ran both Stained Skin shops til he sold them last year, and he also runs the Hell City Tattoo Fest which is an awesome show. This year it's in AZ instead of Columbus, more's the pity.

I'm going to open this one back up.
My mom is handicapped and in a wheelchair. I need a shop that is handicap accessible and where the artist has plenty of room so my mom's "bad" leg doesn't get bumped by passer-bys.
I've been told about all the above mentioned shops, but have been told the only wheel chair accessible shop is the Second Skin (Stained Skin2) up in Newark. I'm willing to make the drive since I love my mom and all, but I would much rather find someplace closer to her home in Gahanna.
Also, has anyone heard anything about Bodystain tattoo's at Morse and Cleveland? I know they are accessible.
Anyone have any suggestions (or would like to point out if the above mentioned locations are accessible)?
Thanks ahead of time!

P.S.~ I have been seriously considering Naryan Claudy @ Stained Skin and Stephanie @ Second Skin.

I think you are going to have to call around to the individual shops to inquire about this, but you'll prolly find most will accomodate you.

I would suggest stained skin for this tattoo. The work is second to none there. Also each artist has there own room that would more than allow room for a wheelchair anda very small to no chance of any kind of traffic around the work area. If you call and ask for Tony I'm am more than sure he will accomidate this tattoo.
Good Luck.

Your welcome.
I just had 8 hours of work last night and I am quite sore from it. However the artwork is SO worth it.

ballbrite wrote i actually have tattoos from Stained Skin and Bodystain. I would say that Stained Skin would be more wheelchair friendly.
Thanks for that. I'll give them a call tonight.
What is the parking like for Stained Skin? (Street, parking lot, ect)
edit:
I'm an idiot! I'll just ask when I call. *LOL*
