I got a lyric tattoo on my chest just before covid hit last year and it was a great experience. The tattoo took about 2 hours and the conversation was great. The place is super clean and everyone is super nice. I forget the name of the girl who did my tattoo but she was amazing like everyone else there. When I get my next tattoo, I will be going back!

I went to Lauren to get a rib tattoo in remembrance of my grandfather who passed away this year. Besides the great quality of her work, I can already tell three days into recovery that she has an expert hand. I had no bleeding, no bruising, little swelling, and minimal pus. Despise being a rib tattoo, this was the quickest and easiest recovery I ever had for a tattoo and I cant wait until it is completely healed! If the artist who did my hip tattoo were to do this rib piece I would have been writhing in pain unable to sit still. Lauren was also great at keeping me distracted with some solid conversations. Will be coming back in the future for a coverup on my hip.(PSA: image is 3 days after application and still in the process of healing)

Lauren was so amazing! Her work is on point and she actually listened to what I wanted and didnt mind making little changes I wanted. The shop is amazingly clean and organized! She covered up my sons name and definitely did him justice with this new piece! I told her what I wanted and she sketched it up for me! If youre looking for a place that does high quality work and listens to you and that is clean, then this is the tattoo shop for you!

Lauren did a fantastic job! The shop was very clean. Definitely planning a return trip

I had accepted a job here with the intention of becoming a tattoo artist- I was told that I would start out as more of a secretary position and work my way up to being trained- the owners clearly never had any intention of ever training me (anytime I would ask questions regarding tattoo artist subjects I would be told to only inquire about my job position or I was simply ignored) as for my position, I did everything I was asked of in the order it was asked and more, I really wanted to show them I was committed and wanted to advance in the field.. and any time I made an honest small mistake ( like sweeping the floor before cleaning the bathroom and stopping cleaning momentarily to help a fellow new coworker sign in) I was screamed at in front of everyone including clients and for the rest of the day was treated as less or a child and talked down on. Anytime I would offer to help anyone or suggest any ideas for the shop I was instantly screamed at and talked down on to a dehumanizing degree and told to stay in my place. This business and its owners are some of the cruelest and unprofessional people I have ever met. They made me feel so awful about myself and made me doubt my entire self and my choice of career. This is how they treat their employees, let alone the customers.I would encourage you all to give your hard earned money and business to another establishment.- Blessings-

Got a little something small done by Lauren and I love it!!! She’s super fun and easy to chat with. I will be scheduling more work with her ASAP! Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend Lauren, this was my first tattoo and she made my experience very comfortable, and she’s a great artist

I got my neck tattoo there a couple we could go to tattoo artist with amazing you did a really well on my neck

Excellent friendly staff. Queer friendly. Ive gotten all of my tattoos here.

They have very poor customer skills and very disrespectful towards customers. If you want returning customers you should know how to and understand how to interact with people. When I wanted to cancel my appointment the man on the phone decided to call me back and scream at me and threaten me. They made it seem like they designed my tattoo already when I was the one drew up for them. Prior to canceling my appointment I tried to contact my the tattoo artist to get better understanding of her tattoo style and experience, but I was ignored. I highly recommend you get someone else answering your studios phone before your studio loose a lot more clients.Peace, Love, and Respect

Lizzie was super professional and fun to talk to! She made it a great first experience for me and my friend!

Lauren did an awesome job !!! Super professional and just an amazing tattoo, very happy with how my tattoo turned out!!

I visited the Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio for my first tattoo and they did a phenomenal job. The building was clean and organized, the pricing was fair, and the outcome was amazing. Lizzie did great work!

Lauren did an awesome job with with my tattoo! She was so nice and made me feel comfortable immediately. Thank you!The shop in general was very clean and following safety guidelines! Heads up: it’s by appointment only right now.

Got my 1st tattoo here & couldn’t be happier with the experience. I called on New Year’s Eve to see if I could schedule an appointment by Saturday as I’m from out of town & would be leaving then. Can’t remember the name of the guy I spoke with on the phone but he was very friendly & accommodating. The shop was closed New Year’s Day & wasn’t suppose to reopen until 12pm on Saturday, however, he set my friend & I up with an appointment for 10am on Saturday so that we could be seen before we went home. When we got to the shop, we met our tattoo artist, Lauren, who was also very friendly & inviting. She did a great job & made the experience really easy going as she talked us through the process & kept up conversation so we wouldn’t be focused on the pain. Overall, I’m very pleased with the work & how awesome the staff was. Definitely recommend this place if you’re unsure of where to go.

Lizzy is the best!!! A few weeks ago I got a female genital piercing with Lizzy. I was really nervous going in, but she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. As soon as I met her she was joking around and chatting with me. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and clean. Now, I’m a few weeks out, and my piercing looks and feels great. I highly recommend Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio and Lizzy!

Lauren gave me this tattoo last week. I love it! Shes amazing!

Loved, loved, loved Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio! My 1st tattoo ever! The studio is beautiful and extremely clean! My artist was Liz and she is very talented! She brought my ideas to life! Liz made the whole experience fun, relaxing and enjoyable! I highly recommend her to any and everyone!!

I just went in there to try and purchase some gift cards for my wife. The new girl working the front basically threw a business card at me and said you need to make an appointment. Really??? For a gift card. She was so unprofessional

My daughter had a tattoo done by Lauren and she was just amazing!! She made us both feel very comfortable, she was so sweet and did wonderful work! The shop and her space were very clean and I would highly recommend this shop and Lauren.

Do not know why this review is showing up as my daughters name but regardless, I had an amazing experience with this shop! Called around 12:30, they had me email them a photo of what I wanted done and within 7 mins, called back with a quote and set my appointment. I did not have money on my card to put down deposit so they set me an appointment for a half hour later to come in and pay cash. Got there and they had cancellations so asked if I would like to come back at 5:15...of course, I did! And glad that I did! I am so pleased with the work that they did and my tattoo artist was absolutely amazing! The place was spotless clean also and they followed all Covid guidelines...i wi recommend to ALL of my friends!

Amazing tattoo work and amazing service!

My bf and I got tattooed by Lauren. She was super sweet, easy to talk to and def made me feel more comfortable. She did such an amazing job on our tats 😊 def recommend her. Also the shop is always clean and staff are very friendly 🙂

Got my first tattoo here, I was super nervous but Lizzie was a super professional at what she does, positive attitude and amazing tattoo artist!!

Great atmosphere and terrific staff. Lauren does my tattoo and she does a lovely job. She is very understanding and kind and always checks up to see how your handling the inking.

Friendly so far. Randy helped set me up with an appointment over the phone and was prompt as well as patient. I look forward to my ink session

Had to cancel my appointment for a free touch up because i tested positive for covid the day before and an employee was harassing me for canceling and “wasting the artist time”

So quality - I got a side wrist tattoo and was so impressed by their input about the design and the cleanliness and professionalism. Plus theyre just such awesome people!

Our tattoo artist was amazing, these were our first ones. She was kind and extremely talented! We will be going back for our future pieces!

My 15 year old had a navel piercing done the woman was very professional and put my daughter at ease. Everything was clean and well organized. Highly recommend!

Lauren was great, Meg and I couldnt be happier

A+++ Amy is an exceptional artist and the shop is so clean.Edit: Have been going here for two years now and will not let anyone else tattoo me. Amy not only draws my ideas to life, when she puts them on my skin they are breathtaking. She is truly talented.

Great experience, awesome work, warm and inviting atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Amazing tattoo shop! Very clean, and great artists!

Awesome and clean shop. Amy does great work. She covered up a tattoo that was a mess. Cant even tell it was ever there.

You guys did a amazing job doing a cover up tattoo that I got a few months back somewhere else that meant a lot to me. Came all the way from the SC to get my tattoo from my home town. Cannot thank you enough for that! You guys rock. I will be back for more!

This is the best tattoo studio Ive ever been to. Its clean,everyone is very helpful and friendly,and they do the job at hand flawlessly. Big thanks to all the outstanding staff and I highly recommend Jackie a wonderful artist thank you all

I got my cartilage pierced and they got us in quick and got us done quick. the lady was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. i had little pain during it and there’s barley any now (15 minutes after). overall a great experience!

I got my first tattoo at the Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio on May 11th, 2019 and I had the best experience I could ever have! I worked with Lauren on creating the perfect tattoo for my late grandfather. She brought my ideas to life and I couldn’t ask for a better tattoo for him than what she gave. I love it so much! If you are looking into getting your next tattoo here, please ask for Lauren, she is so wonderful ☺️

Artist was very friendly and encouraging lovey piercings and im about to go back for more this week!

Went n for a nose piercing. Absolutely love the lady there. She was delightful! Very knowledgeable and helpful! Will definitely be returning!

Loved everything and everyone there. They were great from beginning to end. Cant wait to come back.

Brought my 6 year old daughter her for her first ear piercings. Mia did a wonderful job of communicating what to expect, making my daughter feel comfortable, and clearly explaining how to care for the piercings. Super clean and comfortable environment too. I highly recommend.

Just got my very 1st tattoo today and I’m absolutely in love with it. The place is awesome and the people are very friendly. Highly recommended 👍🏻

Lauren was so great. She kept up conversation while she gave me a tattoo. The studio itself is very clean and inviting. All the staff was very nice. I highly recommend them!

Have been here twice now to get my daughters’ piercings and I was SO impressed with everything about it. The staff is so friendly and professional. They are also very on top of things when the person getting pierced doesn’t feel so good afterwards. Very caring. The shop is impeccably clean and upscale. I simply can’t say a bad thing about it. We will definitely be back. Thank you to Lauren who pierced my daughter’s nose and Mia who pierced the other daughter’s navel. You girls are amazing!!!

BAD PLACE THEY MESSED UP MY TATTOO AND STILL CHARGED ME FULL PRICE THANKS GUYS NOT RECOMMENDED

I had my first tattoo done by Amy was a bit nervous about how it would turn out but the final product was amazing and even better than what I imagined. I highly reccomend her for any watercolor work.

Great environment! Very clean and welcoming shop. Seems like everyone there loves what they do and it shows in their work. I admit Ive only had one tattoo done by Amy (over 2 sessions) but its pretty damn dope! Its a large black and gray shoulder piece. Shes very personable and put me at ease for my first. Will definitely return for more ink. Highly recommended.

Horrible tattoo place horrible people work there they are very disrespectful to there employees and customers and they should all lose there jobs

Wouldnt go anywhere else

Thank you Dave! I am in love with your work. This is a special tattoo and you did a fantastic job.

All the staff are incredibly friendly and the lady that pierced my nose walked me through everything (it was my first piercing)

Went here for my pony tattoo in March 2019. Amy did great! Lines are crisp and clean, everything looks awesome after healing up. The wife looked at mine, then looked at her own (done in Morgantown) and almost cried. Were going to make appointments for September to go back. Amazing work, couldnt be happier.

DO NOT BE FOOLED! I came here because I read the reviews and believed that this was a good place for a friend & I to get a navel piercing. Yes the store was clean and the customer service was great (we worked with Mia) - everything appeared perfectly fine. However I started having problems with my piercing right away and when I contacted the store I was assured that everything was fine. After four months of healing I noticed a horribly ugly scar developing, severe pain despite washing & proper care, my piercing was healing crooked, and had actually significantly moved from its original location. I went to a different reputable piercer for his opinion and he told me my body was beginning to reject the jewelry. He said it is because it was a low quality piece (one the store had pierced me with) and was held together with glue and plastic. He also said the piercing was too shallow (something Id feared at the time it was pierced & expressed). He removed the jewelry and showed me that the jewelry itself was so cheap the barbell was actually crooked - so I never even had a chance of it healing properly. I spent $50 walking in fully trusting the reputation of this company & the experience they offered. In the end I paid $50 for a great conversation with my piercer Mia & a huge ugly scar on my stomach that I will most likely live with from now on. Do not go to this shop for your piercing. Its a scam.

This studio is absolutely gorgeous and extremely clean. All of the staff members are so personable and professional. I brought my daughter here for piercings and I would highly recommend them!

Amy has done three of my tattoos. Her work is great and Id highly recommend. Easy to have a conversation with which is nice.

10/10 Experience all around. The shop is clean, welcoming, and the staff is great. Dave did my tattoo and I couldnt be happier with the work he did. It looks great! Mia was awesome both over the phone and in-person helping me decide exactly what I wanted with some specifics of the design - she has a great personality and is very knowledgeable. I recommend this shop to anyone: expert staff, welcoming environment, and no reason to spend your money anywhere else.

Amazing place!!! I got my nose pierced, it was clean, great workers, and amazing survive. They made me feel real comfortable and answered all my questions patiently. Highly recommend!!

I walked in to the studio to schedule my first tattoo ever. I was greeted by Mia at the front desk as soon as I walked in. She was very pleasant and helpful with scheduling my tattoo and making sure everything was perfect for Amy. (The artist working on my tattoo) A month later, when it was time to get the ink done, I walked in and looked at all of the neat art work on the walls and at the books of previous customers tattoos. The place was very clean, nicely set up and the music wasnt obnoxious in any way.(as I know how some places are) I waited about 15 minutes and Amy was ready to do my tattoo. She was very cheery and nice to talk to while I was getting the work done. She also periodically asked me if I was all good to keep going on. My tattoo was approximately the size of a CD case with high detail and she got it done in about 2 hours. I am very pleased with it and I will be going to her for future business. The Pittsburgh tattoo studio is a fantastic business and I highly recommend one to go in or give a call. You will be greeted with very pleasant and professional people!

I have been going to Amy for my tattoos for six years now. Her work is amazing. Amy is super cool, easy to talk with, and very patient. Her new studio is ultra clean and hip. I have recommended her to my girlfriend and her sister. They both love her work. Randy and the rest of the staff at The Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio are very nice. If you want an amazing tattoo that youll be super proud to show off, then you should go see Amy!

Recently got two piercings and to say the least it is a very clean place with really well presented and respectable staff. Its very laid back and chill, but also professional, and made me feel extremely comfortable and welcome. I highly recommend piercing there and the prices are very fair and affordable! Not really sure about the tattoos, but the designs displayed in the shop are beautiful and seems to be just as clean.

Very unhappy, people there are nice but horrible experience will never go back. Waited 2 hours to be seen took 5 minutes, and still had to pay full price. I shouldnt of had to pay full price there was nothing i could do since we had to put a deposit down. My friend got her ear pierced the next day she cleaned it and about 1 hour later a ball fell off, then about an hour later she lost the other ball. Not pleased at all with how our situation was handled if I could leave zero stars i would.

I got my first tattoo from this studio and I could not be happier with how I was treated and, most importantly, how the tattoo came out. I emailed them with a few general questions and they responded to me the very next day at 7 in the morning! They were very happy to talk to me on the phone and I went to the shop that day to talk more about scripts to use and font sizes. The shop is kept in immaculate condition and every employee said hello to me and I was greeted with smiles all around. My tattoo was priced very fairly and was done in such a timely manor by Amy, the owner of the shop. Amy made me feel so comfortable and was amazing at her script work. I would recommend this studio to absolutely anybody interested in getting any tattoo. If I could recommend more than five stars, I WOULD!

Lauren was so warm and welcoming for my mom, sister and I to get different ear piercings. She cleaned up after we each went and was careful to walk us through the process of each piercing. I appreciated the reasonable pricing as well!

Got my tattoo from Amy at more or less the spur of the moment (went with someone else getting her first, and for one for me). I LOVE her work! She was very personable and professional. The shop was beautiful and everything as clean as could be. Her work is top notch and I found her prices to be extremely reasonable. If you are looking for a beautiful tattoo, I cant recommend her enough!

Went in after looking online for a decent piercer. I was very happy upon walking in. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. When you go back to have your work done, they bring you to a private booth. Professional, clean, and they have an excellent selection of body jewelry.

I had a great experience getting a tattoo and piercing here. My tattoo artist was Lauren and she not only did a great job in my tattoo but she was a pleasure to talk to for the 2-3 hours it took. It was a pleasant experience and every employee I interacted with was kind and friendly.

Staff is knowledgeable, caring, considerate, and gentle. Studio is very clean and welcoming. They do amazing work.

The environment of the shop is very welcoming. Mia pierced my nostril and answered any questions I had. She went through all the tools used, washed her hands in front of me, and opened all the tools to show that everything was sterile. The process was quick. I came in a few weeks later with questions about the bump I had on the inside of my nostril. I was given advice on how to get rid of it, and eventually it did. The staff is more than happy to help out and give advice. Overall, piercing wise, this shop is great and very professional.

Today I went in to get both of my ears pierced and to get a stud on my nose. Mia Johnston did my work and it couldnt have gone better. A sweet and amazing girl as well with the rest of her staff and shop. Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio does great work and has a great selection to choose from. Had an AMAZING experience and highly recommend for all who wants anything done!

Probably the absolutely worst experience ever. Great on the phone but when we arrived.... We drove in from out of town after emailing our design, placing a deposit, and being given a price. Running late, our appointment was at 7pm, we called at 7:01 and said wed be 10 minutes out. When we arrived, some dude showed us 3 sizes of our design and said that the price we were quoted and had left a deposit for was for a very small tattoo... Not what we told on the phone but ok. No problem.We picked a size and the guy asked us where we wanted it. After showing him, he said that he was going to the back to draw the stencil.20 minutes later, he returned with someone I can only imagine was the manager or owner who said that it was getting late, they already wasted 45 minutes, and it wasnt a good fit (us and the shop)... Are you kidding? We were waiting for their staff to prepare the stencil, had just driven 500 miles, and this BS?Anyway... We left, they did, thankfully refund the deposit after saying it wasnt their policy to do so, and we went elsewhere the next day and got a better, unique design at a better price.Avoid this place like the plague!

The workers are so sweet there! Ive never felt so welcome. They are super fun. When i got my nose peirced there, there wasnt any pressure to do it, they were very understanding. I just love it there and I recommend this place to ALL

I got my nose pierced here in July, the place is very clean and very nice. The workers are all so friendly and helpful with decision making. I had an amazing experience here, and plan on returning. I have since told other people of my good experience. I cant remember my piercer name, she was only 18 so I was a bit hesitant, but she helped me through it and she was amazing. Im glad I picked this place. 5 Stars well deserved.

So very helpful, kind, patient & they are open on Monday.......every other shop I called is closed on Mondays!

Its a beautiful shop, super clean, and Lauren Miller did a great job on our Valentines pieces!

This place is awesome! I wish I could give it more. The atmosphere is great and welcoming... The staff is awesome as well, theyre very welcoming and easy to talk to. Mia, the girl who pierced my rook knew exactly what she was doing, I watched every second of it so I knew everything was sterol, shes super organized and talked me through every step. I was nervous since not having been pierced in so long. Shes very soothing and gentle. I will definitely be going back to Mia. REQUEST HER, shes great!!

I got my rook pierced there less than a month ago and the top metal ball kept falling out. The first time I was able to retrieve the metal ball and they put in back in. The SECOND time it fell out I called and they told me to come in and were going to charge me two dollars for a new ball which was kind of annoying, but not a big deal. Come to find out that the rod was defective and it wouldnt screw back on correctly. They wanted to take the old piercing out and put a new one in and charge me for the new piece after they said in the first place the original was defective. At this point my ear was already becoming more irritated from all the times they messed around trying to get the old ball put back on that I was annoyed and disappointed so I left without anything I needed and unfortunately my 40 DOLLAR piercing had to be taken out. Lets hope it doesnt get infected :)

So very clean! Take care of their equipment. Staff and artists are awesome!

Have gotten multiple tattoos done by Amy and a piercing done by Mia and each experience has been great. Each employee is incredibly communicative and welcoming and their work is top quality. Have not even considered going anywhere else and would recommend to anybody wanting a tattoo or piercing.

This place is wonderful! Amy and her staff made me feel so comfortable. Amy is amazing and excellent at what she does. She has not only created an amazing environment (beautiful and immaculate), she is so peaceful and gentle. My experience was perfect!

Absolutely awesome place. Jackie was an amazing artist and definitely killed it.

Lauren at this place was amazing! I got a daith piercing to hopefully help with migraines. She put me at ease, talked me through it the entire time, and made me feel so comfortable. It was over quickly and I can’t believe the lack of pain. Go see her! ❤️

The shop is very clean, and the staff is friendly. I had a piercing done and Mia was awesome.Edit July 2018:Got a tattoo today from Dave, which I absolutely love. The staff are still amazing, and I will definitely be back for more tattoos.

I went as moral support for my friend who got some piercings from them. The space was very clean from the lobby to the private room! Super comfy chairs to wait in and an awesome playlist! Very kind staff and the piercer, specifically, was lovely (much nicer experience overall than where I went for my piercings)! I might have to become a costumer, even though its a bit of a drive for me!

Randy and Amy were both so nice and helpful. The place is nice and clean and newly decorated. I went to Amy for the first time to have something covered up that I have had for close to 14 years. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she came up with a beautiful new tattoo for me. You can no longer see that old tattoo I couldnt wait to get rid of and I absolutely LOVE my new tattoo and cant wait to go back to Amy to add more to it.My overall experience was EXCELLENT!

I had a tattoo done by another studio and, while that tattoo was okay, I wasnt thrilled with it. I decided to have it covered. I talked to a few artists who didnt give me a lot of confidence. Im so glad I didnt give up hope. Amy took a look at it and we discussed the ideas I had. Amy is an amazing artist. Her work is exceptional. She took mediocre work and covered it with something beautiful. Im so happy with it. Thanks, Amy!

Great tattoos. Super nice place very clean.

Great customer service . Very friendly staff. Great Environment to get tattooed

This place is awesome. Immaculately clean! All equipment and piercing jewelry is sterilized. There are separate rooms with full-body mirrors so you can see exactly what you look like before you leave. Brie pierced my ears...and even though I have lopsided earlobes, she made my piercings look symmetrical!! She worked with me for quite a while to make sure the marks were in good places. I already want to come back. Stellar experience!

Amy is an amazing tattoo artist. She pays close attention to detail and always delivers an outstanding experience. I will continue to recommend the Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio to friends, family, and ANYONE that needs tattoo work. Ive had 2 old tattoos covered by her and I am completely happy with her work.If I could give a 10 star rating I would.

Got a small, simple tattoo here today. I thought the studio was very clean and open. The staff members were nice, friendly, and professional. Amy was nice as well, made me feel comfortable, and patient with me as I felt faint. This studio was recommended to me, and I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone.

Not only was the studio itself extremely clean, but the staff made the entire experience enjoyable. Caylinne was the one who did my tattoo, and Im incredibly satisfied with it. It was a very comfortable, easy going setting and I would recommend this studio to anyone.

Very welcoming and knowledgeable, and were able to answer any questions I had. Amy gave me exactly what I wanted, and it looks fantastic!

What an incredible experience for my first tattoo! Amy was so knowledgeable and comforting every step of the way. She took extraordinary care to make such a small tattoo (a semi-colon), exactly the way the I wanted. Thank you Amy!

This was my first tattoo and I cant say enough great things about this studio and the artist. David Feden was my tattoo artist and from beginning to end he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. The entire staff was wonderful and made every step as smooth as possible. I cant recommend this studio enough.

I travelled 4 hours yesterday to visit Pittsburgh and go to an event later at night. I was considering getting my nipple pierced for a few weeks (never thought seriously about it before - I imagined all sorts of pain) and decided to just go for it and get it done in Pittsburgh during the day. This being my first piercing I was definitely nervous as I walked through the door. The entire experience though was amazing, and Im really happy with it. Mia took care of me, explained everything well, couldnt have been sweeter, and the piercing itself is fantastic. I braced myself for pain but cant believe that I hardly even felt it! Im super excited about the piercing and the experience was so great that I wouldnt be nervous in the future for other piercings. Definitely would go there again! :)

Ive had multiple pieces done by Amy, but Id trust anyone in this place. Highly recommend.

Great service..

Dave did my tattoo, a wonderful watercolor piece, I love it!He was professional, clean and flexible with the design.Definitely coming to Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio for the next one.
