Great place! I went today for their 2-for-1 Tuesday piercing deal (got two helixes for $35 + tip) and it was amazing. Rev was super skilled at what he does, and super clean. He made sure you liked the placements before piercing. Would HIGHLY recommend.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a piercing. The prices are great, the piercer is so kind, everything is clean and professional and no blasting music. We got the 2 for 1 tuesday deal, and while there is a bit of a wait, it was worth it.

Aaron fixed a lower quality tattoo of mine and turned it into something I absolutely love. He worked efficiently while also making good conversation. Im in love with the result and am so happy that I found this place. Surprisingly, this tattoo is the best healing tattoo Ive had and Im still surprised with how quickly he finished it. I highly recommend Aaron and Pittsburgh Tattoo. Get in his books ASAP for a great experience.

The receptionist at the front was super nice and was really patient with me and was friendly. Thomas(the tattooist) did a incredible job in my first tattoo! He was also friendly and nice and told me what I needed to do to take care of my tattoo. Will definitely be going back again :)

I got my ears pierced today by Rev. They had the 2 for 1 special so I decided to get 4 piercings at once. 😊 He was quick and very friendly. The receptionist was very friendly as well. Everyone in here is so nice and welcoming. The prices are unbeatable as well. I got 4 piercings for a great price while other places would have charged way more, and may have charged for jewelry as well.Rev gave me a rundown of how to take care of my new piercings. The overall experience was great, and I can’t wait to go back to get more. 🥰 Thanks so much guys!

I would NOT recommend coming here for nipple piercings. The piercer did one of them correctly but the other went deeper through my areola and is slanted. He did not tell me that it was done incorrectly, so I had to find out on my own. It has been 7 months and the one done correctly is completely healed and the other is not. Other than that, the staff was friendly, and the environment of the store was nice and clean.

I recently went in to get my conch and tragus pierced. Rev did an amazing job with both piercings and the girl up front was super nice. I normally get a little frightened with needles and have a low pain tolerance but I could not have picked a better place to go! The process was quick and easy! Definitely recommend going and I will be back! :)

Shop was super clean. I called before my visit to ensure they were able to do what I wanted - they were super excited on the phone, and made sure they were able to accommodate. I went in, and was back out within 33 minutes. I got both ears pierced at a large diameter. the piercer, rev, was very calming, precise and gentle. from the thorough prepping, to aftercare information provided, nothing was missed. I have no regrets, and the staff genuinely cared. It was quick, and relatively painless.Rev, thank you. couldnt be happier! well worth the trip, and the price was beyond fair. Ill be back in the future!

Drove from Buffalo, Ny to see Madeline. This is one of the nicest shops Ive had the pleasure of being in. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get ink done. Cant wait to go back.

Professional tattoo studio of another kind.Dont be scared by the appearance of the artist. Some of them are really heavy tattooed.But all of them are very kind and friendly.I got a traditional maori/polynesian style tattoo at my right ankle.The artist did a great work, and I like it very much.Some merchandising articles (like T-Shirts, tank tops and so on) are also available on site.

Revina has done 3 of my piercings and I was more then impressed. This shop has great service and does a 2 for 1 on Tuesday (they do their best to get everyone in). I believe piercings are walk in only. Revina did an amazing on all my piercings including a nostril, septum and other. Each time it was virtually painless. Also each person I met with in the shop were very professional and kind. I’m already trying to decide on my next piercing!

Review №19

This is a great place to get some body mods done. My daughter and I both got piercings from the resident piercer Rev. He is really thorough and explains everything to you along the way. I have had to go back to see him twice for jewelry adjustments due to swelling, and he has always been very welcoming and understanding. Glad I found this sweet jem, as I am a veteran/piercing junky and now I wont be going anywhere else !!!!

My two friends and I went in yesterday as a walk in to get matching tattoos and it was a great & friendly experience! The man at the front desk was so polite as were the other employees. They got all three of us in within less than an hour. The man that did our tattoos (I believe his name was Adam) did such an amazing job. The lines that he did on the tattoo are so crisp and straight it almost doesn’t even look real. Will definitely be back in the future for my next tattoo!

Rev is great! I had a great experience getting pierced by him. He also helped me after the ball of my piercing fell out and replaced my piercing with a longer bar. Ill never get pierced anywhere else.

This place is awesome! I came in on a Tuesday for the BOGO piercing special and left so happy. Melissa at the desk was so nice and very helpful. She even held my hand while I got my piercings ( punk much lol). Rev the piercer was very professional, kind and patient with me! He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I even came back for after care help and left satisfied again. I tell anyone and everyone to go check them out. Thanks again and I’ll be back soon! 😊😊

Review №24

I was here this past Tuesday for the buy one get one piercing promo with Rev. I got 4 piercings and he made me feel at ease, explained everything thoroughly and was patient. On the back of the aftercare pamphlet he gave me he wrote what size and gauge jewelry I would need once theyre healed. As of yesterday I have had no pain and no swelling in any of them. The shop is very clean and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Rev for all your piercing needs! Thank you very much for everything!

Review №25

Man oh man, this was the most calming and easy going piercing experience Ive had. Rev is a rock star when it comes to explaining everything and setting the client at ease. Wham bam, got my septum and eyebrow pierced - an awesome experience and highly recommended.edit: I went back to get a pair of labrets done as well as vertical bars in my nipples. It was just as awesome as the first visit. I cannot recommend Rev enough for your piercing needs. I do need to shave though.

Review №33

Great service by only hiccup was he did the piercing before telling me that they only accept cash. I was paying with credit card and it got kind of a sticky situation for me and uncomfortable. He let her get the piercing for free because it was his birthday I appreciate it but it was kind of embarrassing for me.

My appointment was with Aaron, who did an absolutely phenomenal job. I had wanted a coffee tattoo for a long time, and he went above and beyond expectations with both the design and the tattooing. The building and equipment were clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming... it was definitely a 5- star trip, and I look forward to returning for more work!

I took my 14 year old daughter for her Valentines Day gift, 2nd lobe piercing and a double helix. Rev is an AMAZING piercing professional. His bedside manner is stellar and he was HIGHLY recommended by friends. He was informative, professional with a mix of humor to relax her. Want a piercing? Seek out this guy! You will NOT regret it! Thanks Rev!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Ive been a victim of terrible tatts the majority of my life, until I walked into P.T. co. It was such a welcoming, CLEAN, chilled atmosphere with amazing artists! Justin Sims was my artist and not only was he a great person but he is BEYOND talented! The tattoo he did for me he drew from scratch and it is absolutely breathtaking! I was in shock til I got home, looked at it and reality hit me.. the beauty of it made me cry tears of joy. I couldnt be happier! Its everything I could of ever wanted and more. Will definitely be back for more!

Service was good and my artist was super nice but I just don’t think he was paying much attention while he was doing this. I was during the $20 tattoos but still, I think it should’ve been better than this. Stray lines and one of the circles isn’t even complete.

Review №52

I’ve had a number of piercings done at another tattoo shop more local to myself within the last decade or so. While out in Pittsburgh for the day, my husband took me to get my long awaited septum piercing. He personally chose this business and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. In fact, Rev far exceeded expectations. He explained the whole process, he was clean and professional, and the aftercare instructions he gave me, both verbal and in a print out, were excellent. He clearly cares about the maintenance and care of a new piercing and his customers. I can say for sure I will be returning to this business for the next.

Shannon Daley is one of the best artists Ive ever seen and the only artist Ill go to. I have tattoos that she did seven years ago and people still ask me if I just had them done. Shes great to hang out with while getting work done, shes very professional and clean, and shes great at helping me convert my vague ideas to amazing artwork. I wish I could give her and her shop more stars.

Review №65

Ive gone here for multiple piercings and two tattoos each time the experiences varied, and Ive been here multiple, the reviews say the staff are very nice but I feel the complete opposite, they arent very welcoming and I dont know if thats due to me coming in spontaneously or just being a young adult they dont take me seriously, I do remember my tattoo artist not telling me even how to care for the new tattoo which I thought was odd and unprofessional, they do great work but the customer service is lack luster.

Review №66

I don’t know how the tattoos would be but I brought my daughter here today for a septum piercing and Rev did the piercing and made her feel comfortable and treated us professionally and very courteously. I have never been in a tattoo shop before so wasn’t exactly sure what to expect and I was quite pleased at the service we had today. Thank you Rev! You made it easy for me and my daughter who was very pleased with her nose ring!

Review №78

I got my first tattoo with John, and I left disappointed. He didnt ask enough questions about my specific design and he seemed more interested in what he wanted to design that what I wanted to get tattooed. I imagined something pretty simple and thought it would be fine, but there was clearly some miscommunication.After some initial discomfort, getting the tattoo itself wasnt too bad, and he was pretty friendly, but he spent a lot of time talking to his coworkers complaining about other customers.

Review №83

My entire experience here was awkward and unsettling. My artist was 20 minutes late. Whatever, no big deal. But, while I was waiting, several people kept walking in and assuming I worked there because no one would greet them and I was the only one making eye contact (it was only me and two workers in the shop, no other customers yet).When my artist arrived, she didn’t greet me but I guess she knew I was her appointment because I think they had just opened and I was her first for the day. She just kind of shouted at me from behind the counter to come look at the sketch she came up with.Prior to my appointment, her email to me was very brief. No questions asked. No indication that she couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything I asked. So, when I asked her to space the flowers out, she said “THAT’S NOT HOW THEY GROW and if you’ve seen my Instagram then you’d know what my work is like.” Without another word, she sighed loudly out of frustration and began furiously erasing her sketch tablet like a child.The funny thing is that I felt like I spent months obsessing over her work before deciding to book with her. I felt like she was refusing to take responsibility for not really putting any effort into the sketch or for not putting in any effort to communicate with me.While I waited for her changes, I considered slapping $50 on the counter for her time and running out the door. Instead I decided to get over my anxiousness and just trust her. After all, I had seen plenty of her work online and I figured no matter what I ended up with would be nice. I 100% regret that now. We spent two hours in awkward silence and now I’m stuck with a tattoo that’s nice enough but not really what I was imagining. Sure, that’s partially my fault for being awkward, but this artist was so confrontational, aggressive, and unhelpful that I just felt backed into a corner.I think artists like these need to be more considerate of the fact that these are intimate and anxiety-inducing situations for some people. Also, we’re coming to you, a professional artist, trusting that you’re going to help guide us and create something unique based on our requests rather than just throwing any old sketch together. It’s not okay to talk to paying customers who admire your work like they’re stupid just because you’re feeling lazy and uninspired. I will definitely be finding a different artist to finish my tattoo.

Review №91

Ok, I would like to start with this review is for piercings only. I do have a small tattoo from them from a Friday the 13th event and had no problems. My piercings on the other hand, have caused problems. I got my lip pierced here on the say day as my tattoo and ask for a hoop, knowing how I swell and heal. I was basically told told no and was pierced with a short bar. The placement of my lip is great but due to how much I swelled, healing was so hard. I ended up stopping at another shop to have it looked at because the base of the bar was digging in so much. The other shop didnt want to change it just because of the healing but agreed I should have been pierced with a hoop when I explained how I heal. The most recent time I was there was about a month ago for a cartilage piercing (as pictured with different jewelry). I really wanted a piercing during a bad day and knew my friend loves it there and was going to try it again. I again asked for a hoop and again was denied. I again like the placement of the piercing itself but the bar was far to short. When I swelled, the flat back dug into the skin so bad, I wasnt healing and scabbing bad. I ended up having to change it to a hoop earlier then I should have but I knew it wasnt healing with the bar. Looking at the bar, it was shorter than bars my roommate used for his healed cartilage piercings. Im now having such a long heal with this ear piercing, Im having another piercer look at it. Again, nothing against the tattoo artists but multiple bad piercing experiences.
