This is an absolutely beautiful shop. It's clean, well lit and large. The person at the front desk was lovely. I came in last week looking for a walk-in appointment. I have 3 other tattoos from different places but I had looked through the social media of this place and I I really loved their work. And I wanted a fairly simple design- a rose, on my shoulder. Given that I had seen several roses on their IG and I loved all of them, I thought, why not- let's give it a go. The lady at the front desk assigned me to an artist. He was running an errand, but as soon as he came back, he met with me. I'm going to pause here and say that as a caveat- I absolutely love my tattoo that I had done that day and the artist turned out to be a real sweetie pie and I absolutely would go back here to get a tattoo. But I do have some constructive criticism for the man who tattoo'd me. He was kind of quick to do the consultation. I showed him a pic for inspiration for the color and a couple of others for the shape and design. He came back roughly an hour later with a shape that was not at all what I asked for and he seemed kind of agitated when I told him it wasn't really what I was looking for. I felt really bad because this had taken him so long to do and I would be frustrated too. Just as a bit of advice- it would probably be helpful if you have the client message you the pics for inspiration to your instagram or email so you can reference as you are in the back doing your sketches. He went back to do another sketch and it took another hour. I had arrived at the shop pretty much at opening (12 pm) and we didn't get started on my tattoo until 2:30. He warmed up to me and was kind once the tattoo'ing started but it kind of made me feel like he just didn't like me and maybe didn't want to do this tattoo or something and I felt kind of awkward. I'm just writing this to hopefully help the artist with his consultations and bedside manner. He was a very gentle tattoo'er. A good artist. If he was having a bad day or something- I totally get it. We are all human. And I'm not writing any of this to be mean. Just hopefully helpful. Again, I do recommend this place and will be going back myself. It may have been an off day. But my experience could have been better. read more

My friend and I were in Columbus for a conference, and we were walk-in clients. We were both incredibly happy with the resulting tattoos, and the artists who did them. Not only did we get excellent tattoos at a reasonable price, we got a great restaurant recommendation, and, seeing that we were both English teachers, getting book, themed, tattoos, my tattoo artist referred us to an amazing book store for after dinner. read more

I've gotten two tattoos at Sacred Hand - one small and one large. It's a first-class shop and all the artists are top notch. I love the look and feel of the place - it's an extremely professional shop. My first visit here was for a walk-in with Bee Sue. She was wonderful and gave me exactly what I was dreaming of. It was my first tattoo after a period of about ten years away, and I don't think my after care was quite right because it healed with a small white spot. However, Bee Sue was great and I'd definitely go to her again! My most recent visit was for a big custom piece from the one and only Big Meas. I'd been watching his work for years and knew I wanted a written word tattoo from him, but it took me a while to figure out what words I wanted. He drew it on me free-hand with Sharpies and then tattooed it. He is a freaking rockstar; if you like word tattoos there's none greater. It healed like a dream. Just one other personal observation - this place has a strong masculine energy about it. That's not bad or good, it just is what it is. If you are looking for more of a girly or feminine experience or tattoo shop, this may not be the one for you. But if you're down for a rock solid tattoo experience and don't need it to be soft or romantic in any way, definitely check these guys out. read more

4.0 Stars Location Overview: You can find this chill and badass tattoo shop on Parsons and Whittier between German Village and Southern Orchards neighborhood. Coming upon this location, trying to find parking really sucks. I'm not familiar with the parking in this area so I was nervous that my car would get towed. But after getting that situated walking into this establishment was nothing but great. The vibe here with decoration was outstanding. Lots of artwork displayed. Very nice shop. Customer Service: The customer service here was outstanding. Charlene "Cheech" is a bad mama jama. She had a cancellation so I was able to get right in. She gave me insight on pricing, size, pain of the area being tattooed and good instructions for keeping it clean and healed correctly. Overall, all staff working here were very chill, if you have been to a tattoo place you know it's not your doctors office. The culture in a tattoo shop is different than an office setting. But here it was pretty relaxing. Quality/Quantity: The quality of Cheech's work was outstanding. She explained she would do light shading and once my tattoo was healed if I wanted to go darker it was an option. As far as quantity I believe in this kind of setting tattoo artists can do a variety of things. Find what you like and let them know. Side Notes: Street parking only. A little bit of a rough area to be in. Definitely check out Charlene's IG page. GREAT WORK! read more

I have a bad habit of not really insisting on what I want when I want a tattoo. I'll be happy for a while but the excitement wears off and I'm embarrassed. My tattoo artist at Sacred Hand, Cheech, not only listened to what i was trying to do but asked a TON of questions to make sure I'd be happy. She spent hours drawing, asked for input, and adjusted to make sure I'd love it and it would fit my vision. The tat itself healed amazingly well, and I get constant comments about its beauty. It's not just a great tat that makes this such an amazing shop though. It's clean, which is great. Everyone is friendly and doesn't blow you off - NO ONE is condescending. I've been there three times and they remember me. The artists respect themselves and each other as artists; they look at each other's work, offer feedback and encouragement, take the time to celebrate with each other over the beauty being created. They are incredibly knowledgeable...Joey Knuckles sat and talked to my daughter for at least half an hour, explaining why one of her tats keeps fading and what he could do to help her with it. It wasn't a sales pitch, and he was not at all arrogant - he was excited to share what he knew. He explained it in a straight forward but friendly way. It was engaging to listen to him, because he clearly LOVES tattoos. They aren't just a way to make a living, he loves his art. I wanted a one of a kind piece of art. I spent over a year researching artists in this area. I was slow and cautious. And I'm so glad I did, because Cheech and Sacred Hand gave me exactly what I wanted!! I can't WAIT to see it with color! read more

They are very professional, and the shop is very clean and good looking. Make sure to make an appointment and don't go in as a walk in, or else you may end up with a rushed tattoo or something you may not have wanted. I went in as a walk in to get a simple line tattoo, but the lines were inconsistent and it was fairly rushed. I don't blame the shop though, as I was a walk in and I didn't make an appointment. read more

I've yet to actually go in to get a tattoo, but I just want to say that the call I had with Mandy was extremely helpful and down right pleasant. Since I've never gotten a tattoo and am an artist myself, I obviously had a million super annoying questions. None the less, Mandi was incredibly informative and patient when walking me through the process and my options with how to proceed. Good customer service goes a long way. Thank you Mandy! read more

I love Sacred Hand Tattoo Society so much! I've gotten 3 of my tattoos done by Bee, and they're all perfect! Bee is a super wonderful artist! She is efficient with her emails and very organized. Her lines are always crazy clean, and she's just a fun person to be around. The tattoo experience is always a great one with her! Even if you don't know what you want, I'm confident Bee will work with you to help you decide on something you love. Ugh, she's such a beautiful gem. Thank you tons and tons The other artists are also really great, friendly, and accommodating. The place is very laid back and clean. Walking into it feels like you're walking into a family because you can just tell how much everyone cares about each other. Oh, and Tori at the desk is always rad and schedules appointments like a champion. Sacred Hand all in all is a bunch of great badasses that I highly recommend. read more

I'm 32 years old and now just acquired my first tattoo. Getting a first tattoo for anyone is like sailing through uncharted territory. The staff at Sacred Hand were exceptional at making me feel at ease. Super friendly and informative. Tori at the front desk could have been working at a bridal shop she was so nice. I went in and flipped through the artists books and decided on an artist and scheduled an appointment. The next weekend I was in getting the tattoo. Brandon was fantastic. So down to earth. We had great conversation which helped to calm my nerves. He worked quickly and two hours later I walked out with exactly what I wanted and I felt like I was well looked after. Thanks Sacred Hand. I can't wait to come see you again soon! read more

A buddy and I went in for gumball tats and got taken care of by Santi. This guy was incredible! Very nice, professional, detail oriented, and magnificently talented. The other artist stopped by to talk while he was working and were also friendly. I will absolutely be going to Sacred Hand for all of my future tattoos. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I had my tattoo done here a week ago and have a horrible infection that started right after leaving this shop!!! I am on 2 different antibiotics and at high risk. I put a deposit down on another tattoo the same day I got this one and they refused a refund. the owner of the shop refused to speak to me. Setup an appointment with my lawyer today! read more

Joey Knuckles knows! I had a tattoo that was done several years ago, that needed some sprucing up, and Joey did an amazing job. He was good about listening to what I wanted, had some good ideas, and the result was a remarkable improvement. I was able to be scheduled for my appointment within a matter of a few days after the consultation, but I would imagine that it won't be long before the wait will end up being much longer. We welcome this great business to the south Parsons Avenue Area. read more

Do not use Skoty, my friend and I went in there and the artist acted like a grown man child, throwing a tantrum like a scolded child, was very unprofessional in front of customers and other artists. He took money, had his receptionists lie to keep a deposit, also made us a pay for a whole day, which he only did one tattoo, called someone else but took the whole day paid. He refused to talk like an adult instead hide behind his receptionist who was very dishonest, hid in the back rather than be a professional. He does not keep his word, he quotes a different price for customer but when get upset, he refuses to deal with it has an adult, pumps up his over sized ego, and stomps around like a child. He is a subpar artist and this treatment was tolerated by this place, the owner should be ashamed to allow this behavior. Skoty than canceled an apt, never r/s'd took money than had his receptionist take 100 deposit and lie and say we no showed, than when talking with both ladies their stories changed twice, first it was they called than it was oh we don't recall making a an apt for you.. Find a better place, ,more professional artist. Do not use skoty there are alot of great, amazing artists. read more

Go see Bee Sue! She's wonderful. I've now had two tattoos done by her. She cares about her work and sets you up with the correct expectations of cost, vision, and walks you through any concerns or questions. She understands that a tattoo is something that will be on your body forever and wants you to love it before committing to a design. She gives thorough instructions on how to care for the tattoo. Both tattoos have healed quickly and beautifully. read more

Walk in for a small tattoo. Brandon was great and a good conversationalist! Will update with a photo once the tattoo has healed.
