Skin Hooked Tattoos

I had originally made an appointment with Kayla Beck and well after a few canceled appointments later I sent the owner Shawn a message and he was very friendly and willing to make things right, the end result was her no longer working there and my husband and I found our forever tattoo shop!! Shawn and Charlie are amazing, clean and very professional, easy to start conversation with and we always leave happy and with smiles on our faces. Thanks for being awesome guys!!

Wasn't satisfied with the results. I saved up for this and had three piercings. Two earrings on same ear kept coming off without me playing with them. The first time one came off, it was so tiny I could not screw it back myself. Had to come in for the artist to fix it and I was charged. I traveled out of Athens for Summer and over the vacation both earrings came out. Since i could not fix it back in on my own the piercings closed up. I am not the type to move around in bed a lot when I sleep to blame it on that although lying on that side might have caused that if the earrings were not fixed properly or were just not good earrings. I was thinking of piercing again but skeptical about coming here again if same thing happens, then it'll only be a waste of money. Dissatisfied

Have gotten several tattoos from Shawn and have always had a great experience. I live out of town but will definitely be back to have more work done by him. Holly has done a bit of work for my aunt and she is very skilled fine line work. Recommended to all.

Great shop, love the quirky basement atmosphere. Clean and organized, this shop is perfect for spontaneous walk-in tattoos and piercings. If you are looking for experienced artists for a larger scale piece, Sean and Charlie have the skills for that as well! Great location, lots of eateries around for grabbing a bit or a pint after your session.

I got my first tattoo done by Kayla Beck. She did an amazing job and made my tattoo look phenomenal. I could not have asked for a better experience from the entire staff to how they treated me like family. Everyone talked to me and really made me feel so much better about getting a tattoo in a super painful spot. Thank you skin hooked tattoos for an amazing experience I highly recommend them to anyone!!!!

I absolutely love this place! I looked for years to find an artist professional enough to do my cover up. Shawn is amazing and after working with me for a month on ideas he gave me the tattoo of my dreams! I’ll never go anywhere else.

Side note: who is this Kayla Beck and Belcher guy who are leaving one star reviews? They seem bitter and possibly unhappy in their own lives.

Friendly staff. Megan did an amazing job on my tattoo. I couldn’t be happier with it. Michelle was also able to squeeze me in as a walk in for a piercing, she did great. Will definitely be going back in the future.

I was a walk-in for a helix piercing. Michelle was my piercer, and she was INCREDIBLE! Truly, just wonderful. She walked me through everything she was doing, and when the piercing took place, she did them quickly and efficiently. Now, after, I felt great, but when I stood up to walk out and pay, I felt woozy. Michelle got me water, and a cool rag for my neck. She even got out a little table/bed that I laid on and offered me cherries, and cookies. All in all, my experience, even with my body betraying me and nearly fainting, was excellent and I will recommend everyone go and get their piercings from Michelle!

I got my septum pierced by Michelle and she was new and amazing at her job! She made my experience great and let me know clearly about how to take care of my piercing. I would highly recommend coming here!

While an undergrad at Ohio U, I got two tattoos done at Skin Hooked. One was a touch up of an older tattoo that was done poorly (at a different parlor) and the other was a brand new tattoo. Both were done perfectly and for a very fair price. Three years later and both still look great and remind me of good times at OU. Very grateful that I went to Skin Hooked.
