“This is by far the best place to buy tattoo supplies in the greater Pittsburgh area; knowledgeable HELPFUL patient professional and kind customer service here! They have the best prices and the best customer service. I personally buy my nitrile gloves here and currently as of Nov 2025 he sells them at $10/box you can't buy them cheaper anywhere else for the quality!“

“Went in for 2 piercings and Rhiannon made us feel comfortable and had us laughing instead of concentrating on the pain of the piercings. Definitely recommended!!!“

“Ben completed my full arm sleeve tattoo, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. His talent and precision are truly exceptional. He’s also incredibly chill, down-to-earth, and easy to work with, which made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. His shop is spotless, well-organized, and has a very professional atmosphere. 5 stars all around — I can’t recommend his work enough. I get compliments on my tattoo everywhere I go!“

“Lovely, clean shop! Everyone here is very talented and welcoming. I have several tattoos from here and they always kill it!“

“Emiliana was kind, thoughtful, and very talented! My tattoo is healing beautifully—overall, a great experience.“

“I worked with Bonnie and all I can say is that I am beyond thrilled with my experience and how my tattoo turned out. Bonnie’s line work is great, the atmosphere was cool and calm, and I couldn’t be happier with the final product. Definitely coming back in the future.“

“Great experience. Have gotten a variety of piercing services here, from changing out difficult jewelry to getting new gauges. Professional, clean and will answer all of your questions.“

“Had an issue removing my corkscrew nose piercing on two occasions due to slight trauma to the nose. Each piercer took a look at my nose to understand what happened. They explained what was going on and they removed the ring with little discomfort. Replacing the ring was a little difficult due to the swelling on the inside of my nose. However, each piercer was able to put a replacement ring in with some discomfort. I was told to return should there be any issues or if the ring needed adjustment.They have quality jewlery - I can onmy wear 14k. They are professional and above all they are clean and sterile, which is a huge plus for me. I would definitely go back.“

“I got tattooed by jesse, he was very nice and helpful, he reworked a design by request, and it came out really awesome! I came in for a touch up the other day and now it looks even better. I will likely be back for more ??“

“Great shop! Super glad I met Jason. I had started a sleeve at another shop and unfortunately, the artist passed away. It was hard to find an artist that would help me finish what was already started. Jason helped me flesh out the rest of the sleeve and we're taking it in a whole new and exciting direction! Can't wait until we start adding color to the black work he's done so far.

The shop is clean and the vibe is very calm and zen-like. When you spend hours, and hours, and hours getting tattooed, it really helps having an environment where you feel comfortable and it's easy to have a conversation.

If you're looking for Japanese Traditional work in Pittsburgh, I can't recommend Jason highly enough.“

“Izzy was wonderful! Great experience all around!! Would always recommend, for sure coming back“

“Chase was my tattoo artist and he was an absolute delight to be around and did an absolutely incredible job on my tattoo. I have multiple pieces by him and definitely look forward to getting more. Thanks, Godspeed.“

“I’m Chase and My girlfriend made an attempt on her life earlier this year. I’ve never gotten a tattoo before and had zero plans or intentions on getting one I didn’t find them appealing or attractive on anyone. However this I thought would be something completely worth having on my body for the rest of my days no questions asked.
My artist was Richie and he was amazing very kind and did an excellent job. Jake and Evan were extremely kind and everyone was just very professional. I would recommend you give this place a shot if you’re looking for a tattoo. If I get more, I will be going back here.“

“Bobby and Dalton are unreal! Their skill is unmatched! This is my fifth tattoo here and I’m already planning the next tattoo!“

“Work done by Rich…. Very professional and great experience will definitely be back for more“

“Jen is the best! She’s tattooed me off and on for a few years. First time at this shop tho! Candy and John were friendly and good vibes all around! Shop is welcoming!“

“I’ve been tattooed by Matt at foundations at least 5 times and had a wonderful experience every time. So many great artists in one spot!“

“Got another fantastic tattoo from Nick he is awesome. Ask for him and you will not be disappointed!“

“Me and my brother had a wonderful experience at this local tattoo shop! I’ve had several done at different parlors, and this was by far the best. From my initial inquiries, the team was very kind, communicative, and professional. Trisha got back to my emails almost immediately, and was very informative. Josh, who did my brother’s first tattoo, did a great job and was very patient and kind. Judah, who did my tattoo (pictured) was super friendly and respectful. The shop was spotless and efficiently run. They were also super honest—my brother overpaid for his tattoo (without his knowledge), and the next day they called to reimburse him what was overcharged. 100% will return to this shop for future tattoos!“

“Very laid back and friendly shop. Jesse’s floral work is amazing and Octeel is the premier kaiju tattooer in western PA. Get tattooed by one of these amazing artists.“

“I had an amazing experience with Rev! He pierced my nose and also did my little sister’s eyebrow, and from start to finish he made both of us feel completely comfortable. His energy was so calm, welcoming, and reassuring, which really helped ease our nerves. He took his time, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were okay throughout the entire process.

The piercings came out great, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his work and his clients. Finding someone you trust with piercings is important, and after this experience, he will definitely be the person I go to from now on for any future piercings. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve had dozens of sessions with Justun over the past 15 years. He is a great dude. His work is amazing and stands the test of time. Sitting in his chair is one of my favorite things in this world.“

“If you're in the Oakland area and itching for new ink then get in touch with Empire Tattoo. The staff is friendly and I will without a doubt be returning to the shop in the near future. Huge shout out to Lew Sommerville for my doing my latest piece, it was a real pleasure! Can't express enough how satisfied I was with the results and my experience at the shop!“

“Cassandra is the best! She is so timely and super caring. She gave plenty of time to look at the stencils and be confident that this is what i wanted. This is my 3rd tattoo with her and I couldn’t be more happy! Can’t wait to get more!“

“Laura has done two tattoos for me this year and I love them both so much! She was very honest about what to expect with the pain for both locations, which I appreciated even though I know all tattoos hurt to some extent. She also helped me decide on the location of the second tattoo and moved the stencil as many times as needed until we agreed on a good placement. She’s easy to talk to but also doesn’t seem to have an issue with a quieter session. Everyone that works there is friendly and the shop is super clean. I will be back to get more work done by Laura and always recommend her to others!“

“Pat is an awesome guy and holds it down in the studio! Great artist, good vibes and he also has a ton of awesome merch including hats, stickers and T shirts on line. Check it out, you won't regret it!“
