Riot Ink - Custom Tattoos, Columbus OH

Nathan is an experienced artist that does incredible work. Him and his staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. The shop is very clean and has a very good vibe. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Nathan was and is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend anyone looking to have tattoo work done to check out his profile on Instagram. Amazing work and easy to sit in the chair and chat with.

I got a half sleeve by Nathan and it was the best time. Super personable, and focused. Did an amazing job! Super happy with his work and attention to detail! Definitely will be back

The shop is amazing! My overall experience was so nice. It’s so clean and inviting. They have amazing artwork all around. The staff is excellent. Nathan varney is an awesome owner and incredibly talented! I definitely recommend riot ink to anyone looking for new ink.

My experience with Nathan Varney at riot ink was incredible. The designs that he created for my tattoos are amazing and the whole process from start to finish was incredibly smooth and professional. I've already scheduled the next piece of the project with him and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next! Also the shop is very clean, professional, and has a really cool look to it. If you ever need any tattoos or piercings definitely check this place out. Thank you!

I’ve been going to Riot for over three years and seeing Nathan for that entire duration. I’ve been to their Powell location as well as the new private downtown location and have absolutely nothing but great things to say. The facility is clean and all of the artists are friendly and keep the mood fun. I never feel awkward sitting silent or talking with everyone and Nathan is hands down one of the best artists in Columbus. I cannot recommend this shop or its artists enough if you’re looking to turn an idea into art.

I was referred to Nathan by a coworker of mine. I can honestly say I’m never going to a different tattoo artist ever again. Nathan is extremely talented and professional.

By far the best experience I have had in a tattoo shop. From the start my artist Nathan has been great all the way around his work is amazing but also his professionalism.

I just had another ink session with Nathan and like always I leave with a solid custom tattoo that’s better than I could have imagined. This was my first time at the new location and the ambiance, view and decor are really something special!

There is no better tattoo place in Columbus than here! These are high quality tattoos that are going to last a lifetime! Nathan Varney and his team is the real deal! ️

I’ve been getting tattooed since I was 18 and now at 36, Nathan is the only artist I’ve repeated business with. I’ve had 5 different pieces done by him and each time I’m amazed by the designs and work. He’s awesome.

Loved the vibe and the overall experience once I walked into this tattoo shop. Beautiful art and friendly staff. Max started on a custom Taurus back piece for me. I gave him a couple ideas and he ran with the design and I absolutely love it! Have to come back in a few months to get it finished up and then will be picking out my next tattoo with him!

Riot Ink is not only the best in Columbus, but it is always very clean and sanitary. It has a very relaxed feel to the place and all the artists have a good sense of humor that will make you feel at home. The quality of work is impeccable and is reasonably priced. You won't find a better place in Columbus!
