I cannot recommend this girl enough! She has done 13 tattoos for me & every single one has exceeded my expectations. Her talent, attention to detail, professionalism & ability to bring ideas to life are unmatched. She always makes sure I am comfortable throughout the entire process, and the quality of her work is incredible. I constantly receive compliments on my tattoos & proudly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing artist. And multiple people have went to her! Simply the best!

I had the most incredible experience getting my hyperrealism brows done—truly beyond what I expected. The attention to detail is unmatched, she has an amazing eye for creating natural, perfectly shaped brows that complement your face so beautifully. The entire process was professional, clean, and surprisingly relaxing. Every step was explained clearly, and I felt completely comfortable and confident in her hands. If you’re considering cosmetic brow work, I honestly can’t recommend this enough. It’s a game-changer and absolutely worth it.

Syd is the best in the biz! She takes time to educate her clients and provides the patience and kindness to make us feel comfortable. She did my brows a few years ago and I look forward to my touch ups. 100% recommend!
A true artist and thoughtful business owner, Syd's kindness and attention to detail put me at ease from the start. The final product was exactly what I envisioned and means the world to me. I will trust her recommendations and artistry again!

I went back for a touch up and my second tattoo! The environment is so calming and positive. I love my tattoos done by Syd, and I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking somewhere to go get a tattoo. Her prices are reasonable as well and her work and quality is incredible.

Cosmetic Ink Studios is awesome! When i first walked in, the studio was cute and approachable in Uptown Westerville. Syd was so welcoming for my sister and I who got matching tiny tattoos. She was very thorough at explaining everything and answering our questions. Her professionalism and help made the whole process easy and relaxing. Getting the tattoo was mostly painless and quick. If you are thinking of getting a fine line tattoo or if you want an easy first experience then I would recommend. I’ll be referring my friends to her in the future.

Had the best experience at Cosmetic Ink getting my lil script tat! I’d been thinking of getting this piece for a long time but booked a super impromptu, last-minute appointment, and Syd was super accommodating and lovely to work with! She got me in at a time that worked for me and the studio is so cute. (Bonus points for being suuuper close to parking! lol)
Also loved hearing about her advocacy for thrichotillomania - although it’s not something I have personal experience with, it’s great to support a small business with a purpose, and you can tell has a huge heart for the community!
My tattoo was painless and the healing process was the smoothest I’ve ever had. Happy to recommend Syd to anyone looking for artistic or cosmetic tattooing! 🤍

Syd was wonderful! She drew each stroke to show me how it would look and tattooed those lines. She matched my own brow line so it looks just like the brows I always had. No more invisible/age-faded brows! Not high-fashion or trendy brows - my old brows but you can see them!!! I am thrilled!
I had an amazing experience. Syd is very knowledgeable and skilled. She is very good about educating her clients and takes great care in her work. I LOVE my new tattoo.
I would absolutely recommend Sydney for any fine line tattoo work! I fully trusted her with my vision and she exceeded my expectations. 5 stars hands down!

I recommend Syd. I came to her to touch-up eyeliner and eyebrows that I'd had done a few years ago elsewhere. She took the time to listen to me and figure the best course of action. I'd had this done at two previous locations over the years and wasn't entirely pleased with the results. Neither of the two other places took the time that Syd did to help ensure the best outcome. If you're looking for permanent makeup Cosmetic Ink Studios is the place to go.

I had a letter from my mom who passed and I wanted a word from that letter as a fine line tattoo on my forearm. I decided on blue ink to make it look like handwriting.
This was a year ago and it still looks good as new. It came out exactly as I had hoped. I love it; I look at it everyday and think of so many good memories.
Syd was amazing. She responded right away. Very professional and made the process easy and comfortable.

Love her to pieces and in love with my new tattoo

Syd made this experience amazing! I went in for two fine line tattoos that both have special meaning to me. You can tell that Syd loves what she does- she takes her time explaining everything and makes sure you’re comfortable and are getting exactly what you want. She will talk as little or as much as you want- whatever you’re feeling :) PLUS her work is truly amazing- my tattoos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Already looking forward to coming back :)
Edit- also had my eyebrows done by Syd! I have struggled for years with little to no eyebrow hair. I no longer have to fill them in daily, and Syd made them look SO natural. If you’re looking for a place to get your eyebrows done, this is the place!!

My experience at Cosmetic Ink Studios was wonderful! Working with Syd on my first tattoo was a pleasure.

I had an enjoyable experience from start to finish! The atmosphere Syd has created in her new shop is relaxing and friendly. Her calm demeanor and warm personality really helped me feel comfortable through the entire process. She answered all my questions honestly and talked me through her movements as she progressed to help ease my nerves. The process itself was minimally uncomfortable and she took every care to make sure I was alright throughout the entire procedure. Best of all, my results are beautiful and maintenance free!
Syd is a skilled artist. I researched for over a year to find the right cosmetic ink artist for me and her portfolio proves her talent! I am incredibly pleased with my decision to choose Syd as the artist for my brows and tiny tattoos and have recommended her services to family and friends. If you’re debating on getting a cosmetic service done, Syd is worth it! 🥰

Syd is amazing! I’ve got 10 tattoos by her and I’ll keep coming back. She’s is thoughtful and has patience when he comes to what you want and where you want to put it at. If you love fine line tattoos, go see Syd right now!
Syd is a true professional and artist. She is extremely detailed in her explanation of what she is performing, expectations, and how to care for the new permanent creation. She is very personable and guides you in what you feel most comfortable during your appointment. (Never fear introverts if you don’t want to chit chat the entire time!) It’s such a relaxing, soothing experience with a beautiful outcome that helps bring confidence and meaning into your life!

I can’t say enough GREAT things about Syd! First of all, she is super chill and easy to talk to. She has the most gentle hand when doing tattoos. Her work is awesome and precise.

This was my first tattoo, and it was a great experience. It was a great space, and she explained things very well.

Love, love, loved my experience with Syd!!! Her work is awesome, she’s very professional. She took her time and focused on me. I love the outcome. I had my lower eyeliner down me and I’m in love! I’ve always wanted to do it just didn’t know where to go or who could do it. As I was actively searching for someone a mutual friend reached out. I’m so glad I did it and so glad I had the opportunity to meet such a great person. I would most definitely go back for any of my needs.

Syd is an extremely professional and talented cosmetic tattoo artist! Her attention to detail is outstanding and she will always make sure she is fully confident in her work before the session is finished. She even provides a small sample of aftercare ointment which is plenty to last the whole healing process. I’ve been visiting her since April of 2021 with a couple of recommended touch-up sessions, and I can’t believe how my eyebrows have transformed! I’m looking forward to having a new service done in the future and trust her 100%. The studio is also located in a super cute part of Westerville which is a plus.

Thank you! I love my tattoo ❤️ You took the time to design it exactly how I wanted it. You are very personable and came highly recommended! Wishing you the best!
Syd did a wonderful job on my eyebrows. Since I had chemo, I barely had any eyebrows at all. Every morning I would spend about 30-40 minutes drawing in eyebrows. Even after all that time, I still wasn't pleased with my look. I heard about Syd and left a message for her. She called me back the same day and explained her procedure. I booked an appointment with her in December. She was very conscientious and took her time determining how my brow line was shaped. We also discussed how I wanted my eyebrows to look, solid or like hairs.
For the initial visit, Syd inked my eyebrows with room for more to be added. They were thin but looked really good. I had a second appointment 6 weeks later. At this time, Syd and I discussed making them a bit thicker. This was agreeable with Syd also. She didn't want to overdo them the first time as it is easier to add to them rather than try to remove them. I totally understand her thinking and I am glad that she is so considerate. I also appreciate the touchup weeks later. This gives you time to decide how you really want your eyebrows to look. I am very happy with the end results. If you are serious about having your eyebrows inked, Syd is your person. She is patient and appreciates your input. Thank you so much, Syd. You have saved me so much time regarding my eyebrows. Even my husband is pleased with the end results and has become an eyebrow critic! My experience was wonderful!
Michelle Cook
Feb 12th, 2022
Syd is amazing and so sweet! She did a great job on my eyebrows. I had pretty much no eyebrows at all from over plucking them for 20 years. Now, I have nice, thick and natural looking eyebrows. I really trust her with working on my face. I would recommend anything to see her. I plan to see her every year for my eyebrows. 🙂
Update: 2 years later… Syd is the only person I trust to do my eyebrows! I am so much happier having big, dark eyebrows thanks to her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am beyond happy with my cosmetic tattoos! The process was so much more comfortable than I expected, and the results look natural and polished. Syd explained everything clearly and made me feel relaxed the whole time. Waking up with perfect brows and liner every day is a game-changer—I can’t recommend them enough!

Syd is AMAZING!!! I got a piece from her and she brought my vision to life. After 9 years from my last tattoo, she made me feel so comfortable and listened to all my yapping while talking to me. She is very considerate and will be the only person I will ever let tattoo me ever again in my life!
Love her to pieces and in love with my new tattoo

Syd made this experience amazing! I went in for two fine line tattoos that both have special meaning to me. You can tell that Syd loves what she does- she takes her time explaining everything and makes sure you’re comfortable and are getting exactly what you want. She will talk as little or as much as you want- whatever you’re feeling :) PLUS her work is truly amazing- my tattoos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Already looking forward to coming back :)
Edit- also had my eyebrows done by Syd! I have struggled for years with little to no eyebrow hair. I no longer have to fill them in daily, and Syd made them look SO natural. If you’re looking for a place to get your eyebrows done, this is the place!!

My experience at Cosmetic Ink Studios was wonderful! Working with Syd on my first tattoo was a pleasure. She provided me with options, made adjustments to the design/size and talked me through the entire process. I’m so happy with how the final tattoo turned out and would recommend Syd to anyone looking for the services she offers!

I had an enjoyable experience from start to finish! The atmosphere Syd has created in her new shop is relaxing and friendly. Her calm demeanor and warm personality really helped me feel comfortable through the entire process. She answered all my questions honestly and talked me through her movements as she progressed to help ease my nerves. The process itself was minimally uncomfortable and she took every care to make sure I was alright throughout the entire procedure. Best of all, my results are beautiful and maintenance free!
Syd is a skilled artist. I researched for over a year to find the right cosmetic ink artist for me and her portfolio proves her talent! I am incredibly pleased with my decision to choose Syd as the artist for my brows and tiny tattoos and have recommended her services to family and friends. If you’re debating on getting a cosmetic service done, Syd is worth it! 🥰

Syd is amazing! I’ve got 10 tattoos by her and I’ll keep coming back. She’s is thoughtful and has patience when he comes to what you want and where you want to put it at. If you love fine line tattoos, go see Syd right now!
Syd is a true professional and artist. She is extremely detailed in her explanation of what she is performing, expectations, and how to care for the new permanent creation. She is very personable and guides you in what you feel most comfortable during your appointment. (Never fear introverts if you don’t want to chit chat the entire time!) It’s such a relaxing, soothing experience with a beautiful outcome that helps bring confidence and meaning into your life!

I can’t say enough GREAT things about Syd! First of all, she is super chill and easy to talk to. She has the most gentle hand when doing tattoos. Her work is awesome and precise. We instantly connected when I went to my first appointment. I recently took two of my very best friends with me to get matching friend tattoos and they all love Syd as well!

This was my first tattoo, and it was a great experience. It was a great space, and she explained things very well. My tattoo was of words written to me by my late father, and she was very respectful and understanding of how meaningful it was. The tattoo turned out fantastic and I’d definitely come back!

Love, love, loved my experience with Syd!!! Her work is awesome, she’s very professional. She took her time and focused on me. I love the outcome. I had my lower eyeliner down me and I’m in love! I’ve always wanted to do it just didn’t know where to go or who could do it. As I was actively searching for someone a mutual friend reached out. I’m so glad I did it and so glad I had the opportunity to meet such a great person. I would most definitely go back for any of my needs.

Thank you so much Diane!! Such kind words. Much appreciated ❤️ I will gladly welcome you back any time you’re ready!
Syd is an extremely professional and talented cosmetic tattoo artist! Her attention to detail is outstanding and she will always make sure she is fully confident in her work before the session is finished. She even provides a small sample of aftercare ointment which is plenty to last the whole healing process. I’ve been visiting her since April of 2021 with a couple of recommended touch-up sessions, and I can’t believe how my eyebrows have transformed! I’m looking forward to having a new service done in the future and trust her 100%. The studio is also located in a super cute part of Westerville which is a plus.

I have really been wanting to have my eyeliner tattooed but was nervous to do it. I finally took the plunge after finding Syd and she was amazing! I am so glad I did it because she did such an amazing job! Syd is so kind and explains everything she is doing. If you are thinking about it, stop thinking and call Syd. She is the best! Thank you Syd.

I had an amazing experience. Syd was professional, knowledgeable, and caring. She took her time and made sure everything was perfect. If I ever get another tattoo, she’s the only one I’d let do it. And for anyone looking to get one, I’d recommend her 100%.

I love my eyebrows. Sydney is great. I literally did not have any eyebrows, I had to draw them on. When I would go to the lake they would get wiped off. So embarrassing. Now I never have to worry about that.

Thank you! I love my tattoo ❤️ You took the time to design it exactly how I wanted it. You are very personable and came highly recommended! Wishing you the best!
Syd did a wonderful job on my eyebrows. Since I had chemo, I barely had any eyebrows at all. Every morning I would spend about 30-40 minutes drawing in eyebrows. Even after all that time, I still wasn't pleased with my look. I heard about Syd and left a message for her. She called me back the same day and explained her procedure. I booked an appointment with her in December. She was very conscientious and took her time determining how my brow line was shaped. We also discussed how I wanted my eyebrows to look, solid or like hairs.
For the initial visit, Syd inked my eyebrows with room for more to be added. They were thin but looked really good. I had a second appointment 6 weeks later. At this time, Syd and I discussed making them a bit thicker. This was agreeable with Syd also. She didn't want to overdo them the first time as it is easier to add to them rather than try to remove them. I totally understand her thinking and I am glad that she is so considerate. I also appreciate the touchup weeks later. This gives you time to decide how you really want your eyebrows to look. I am very happy with the end results. If you are serious about having your eyebrows inked, Syd is your person. She is patient and appreciates your input. Thank you so much, Syd. You have saved me so much time regarding my eyebrows. Even my husband is pleased with the end results and has become an eyebrow critic! My experience was wonderful!

Syd is amazing and so sweet! She did a great job on my eyebrows. I had pretty much no eyebrows at all from over plucking them for 20 years. Now, I have nice, thick and natural looking eyebrows. I really trust her with working on my face. I would recommend anything to see her. I plan to see her every year for my eyebrows. 🙂
Update: 2 years later… Syd is the only person I trust to do my eyebrows! I am so much happier having big, dark eyebrows thanks to her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
