What locals say about Pittsburgh tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Pittsburgh.
“I had an incredible experience here with Mary Kate! Not only do I love my tattoo, but she was so professional and made me feel comfortable through out the entire appointment. I also really appreciated the atmosphere of the shop. Every artist has really good art. They also all seemed to love where they work, and had friendly, playful banter with each other. I will definitely be back!”
“I cannot thank Serena enough for the beautiful piece she created for me. This tattoo is so meaningful—it’s a portrait of my dad, his thumbprint in the background, and surrounded by flowers to honor his life and memory. Serena poured so much detail and care into every part of it, and it came out absolutely stunning. She truly listened to my vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. The shading, the fine details, and the balance of the design are incredible. Beyond her talent, Serena made the whole experience comfortable and meaningful, which was so important to me given how personal this tattoo is. I’m proud to carry this tribute to my dad forever, and I’m so grateful Serena was the one to create it. If you’re looking for an artist who combines skill with genuine care for their work and their clients, Serena is the one.”
“i came for a walk in spine tattoo with my cousin and a friend of mine and we were all tattooed by alan, it was my first tattoo but he made the process so smooth and explained everything he was going to do which put me at ease! he made sure our tattoos were exactly as we wanted them and was sweet as can be, had us in and out but his work was amazing! the staff was all very friendly and prices were great, definitely going to recommend this place and come back for my next tattoo!”
