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 Place is awesome! From the first step you take in the door you can see that the Pittsburgh Tattoo Studio is something different, a refreshing upgrade from the typical dirty shop with cliché tattoo art samples covering the walls. The space is clean and aesthetically pleasing and their logo is pure genius! The three people there I have met (Co-Owners Amy and Randy and piercer Athena) are all super cool and very accommodating. There is no intimidation of giant tattoo covered biker looking guys about to take a needle to you. These are down to earth people that are fun and easy to talk to. They are very polite, professional and skilled at their craft. Amy, the lead artist is a top tattooist in the area. She will work with you to develop the perfect piece of art then can really deliver when it comes to the finished product. The images of her work on the website speak for themselves. They take the time to explain the process to make you feel at ease and comfortable once you are in the chair. It doesnt matter if this is your first experience in a tattoo shop or you are filling in the last bit of uninked flesh, you will like it here. I have sent many of my friends here and they are all very happy with the results. This isnt the cheapest shop in the city by any means but you get what you pay for and when it comes to tattoos I want the best, I am confident I have found it.

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 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! :)

I got my nose belly and cartilage pierced here by MIA and honestly best experience ever, so clean so friendly so professional! Everything is great about this shop, i later sent my mom and my cousin to get their piercings there too!! And today i actually went it cz i had a "piercing emergency" my ring got out and the hole closed up in my nose i text MIA and she instantly tells me to come in and shell take care of it, repierced it and got it all nice and good again!! THANK YOU MIA AND THANK YOU PGH TATTO ART STUDIO!! Definitely recommend this place!!

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.

Their piecer is very inpierenced and lacks a steady hand. They will most likely mess up your piercing and then try to blame the mess up on your inability to sit still or whatever bull they can conjure up no to avoid having to give a refund. DO NOT let their "piercers" anywhere you with a needle. They are far more concerned with giving you a subpar piercing and upselling you shammy cleaning products than doing quality work. I cannot attest to there tattoo work, but PLEASE avoid getting pierced here like the plague.

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!!

A. Freaking. Mazing. The culture of tattoo shops is usually the all-black clad equivalent of an old boys club. This is the polar opposite. Clean, beautiful shop that would make ANYONE feel comfortable (Ive even went in with my Mom!) and an absolutely amazing tattoo artist. Amy is wrapping up work on a half sleeve for me (amidst two other "break point" tattoos) that covered up work I had been told previously could never be fixed. Shes a miracle worker. Five stars all day long!
