I went into the shop today because I had to get some dermals removed (Im just not a careful enough person and I had them in a place not safe enough.) I called first, asked about prices for removal. After a very helpful and pleasant conversation on the phone with the nice clerk, I was now aware that removals were free of charge, the soonest I could come in was 15 minutes from the phone call and I had until 8:30 pm to arrive. I went in about 20 minutes later, was immediately greeted by the clerk and the piercer (who I was familiar with from previous visits), and talked to about my piercing. We went into the sanitary back room and I sat on a comfortable table-like bed. I laid back, as my microdermals were on my stomach, and the artist began talking with me more in-depth about my gems. As we were talking, he was snapping gloves on, moving the jewels around, examining the tissue, preparing instruments on a counter, and other such tasks in a relaxed manner. I barely noticed as he attached the tools and gently applied the pressure that resulted in an extravagantly simple and virtually painless first jewel removal. (1/4..yey!) We moved onto the second one and it was a little more "ouchy" due to its positioning and original piercing job done elsewhere. The third was a breeze and the fourth one, I was a afraid for. It was the only one that had any issues, but I had pulled it a few too many times. It was pushing through the skin so far it had surfaced and the metal foot was sticking out the side of the skin. I hesitated at its start and asked if it was going to hurt more because of the problems. He reassured me, saying "Not really," and that the skin around it was mostly dead anyway. I let him continue, as he was very patient and quick to stop when I showed worry. Surely enough, the fourth, too, was done with quick ease and was nowhere near the most painful one. At the end, my stomach was cleaned and bandaged. I checked to verify that it was a free removal, thanked some really helpful people, and went on my way. Awesome experience!

Studio XIII is the best and only place that I will ever go to for a piercing or tattoo. I have been going to Studio XIII since I was 16 (with my mothers consent) to get pierced. Glen is a very professional artist who takes his job seriously. I am terrified of needles, but Glen was able to talk to me throughout each process and make me feel at ease. I have been to two other establishments for piercings and have had to call Glen to get information about aftercare. I have gotten three tattoos from Dave. They are the most amazing tattoos (I may be a little biased). Dave is very clean and thorough with his work. He makes sure that you get specifically what youve asked for, and he takes his time doing it. I was terrified when I got my first tattoos, to the point where I thought I was going to pass out. Dave was kind enough to talk to me about random things to keep my mind off of getting the tattoo. Studio XIII is an amazing place to get art work done to your body. They are extremely clean and professional. I would and do recommend them to anyone that wants an amazing piercing or tattoo. Not to mention you get LIFE TIME care after you get pierced or tattooed. What could be better than that?! Do your research, talk to the artists, and dont listen to everyone you come across =)

I would never go here. Ive been with my friends who have had bad experiences with the piercer (being perverted, unclean, etc.). I am not one to slander, but being that my fiancé keeps a hospital-grade sterile tattooing environment, walking into this place gives me the creeps. Other friends of mine have been tattooed and the quality of work leaves something to be desired from the line work to the shading technique and needle depth. Some of the artists are better than others, hence the importance of looking through artists portfolios before choosing someone to permanently mark your body with their artwork. I cannot say what shape the shop is in now as I havent set foot in the place for several years, and it did get better over time, but it wasnt up to my standards of cleanliness and professionalism. As far as their merchandise goes, jewelry can cost upwards of 30% more than most other jewelry in the local area and down near Pittsburgh. I have bought implant-grade steel and metals from another supplier for half the price. Its up to you to decide what you think of this shop and their work and merchandise, this is just my opinion that I would never go here or recommend them to anybody.

All of my experiences at Studio XIII have been excellent! I have had 2 tattoos done with Dave (very good tattoo artist!) and 6 piercings with Glen...eyebrow twice, monroe, lower lip, tongue, christina, nostril.. ok thats all of them I think lol Glen was very quick, cleanly, and held conversation with me before he poked (to keep my mind off the piercing.. Im a bit of a pansy with pain but oddly love it afterward lol) He told me step by step exactly what he was doing so I was aware. Even counted to 3 with my first 2 piercings before poking :) The 2 tattoos I have had done by Dave are beautiful! The shading in the one on my shoulder blade exceeded my expectations. Its absolutely gorgeous! He took short little breaks to give me a little breather. Usually after outline and after shading/color then clean up and final inspection. The whole crew is super fun, laid back, and poke/tattoo to your satisfaction! Very professional and very cleanly! I wont go anywhere else to have piercings or tattoos done. Thanks guys for the awesome experiences!!! Looking forward to many many more in the near future! Kudos for Studio XIII!

Studio 13 is well established tattoo and piercing business. I went there for my first tattoo almost ten years ago and have never had a bad experience. The prices for tattoos are reasonable, and the work done there is work they stand behind. Life time guarantee on piercings and tattoos is a guarantee that when you leave there, you will be satisfied with whatever you went for. From when you first walk in to the time you leave, and the after care advice you are well taken care of. The establishment itself has always been a clean environment, Ive never had a second thought about giving them my business.

Dirty, gross, inexperienced place. The piercer glenn flirts with girls and is very unprofessional. As he was piercing my friend he was telling us.about piercing other clients and how hairy in private areas they were. (Gross) the tattoo artist is very gross as well and inexperienced.the tattoos this place puts out stay bubbled bad and dont look healthy at all. Would not reccomend this place. Also did a bad piercing on myself. (Tragus)

This place is disgusting! The piercing guy is a total creep and says "i lick it then stick it" and he hits on girls and is totally inappropriate and disgusting. Theres this girl working there and she always lays all over the tattooing bench and flirts with the piercing guy, glenn and the old tattoo guy. this place is creepy and i would not reccomment ANYONE going there AT ALL. STAY AWAY.
