Piercing in Pittsburgh

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

“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!“

“Very professional and kind! A perfect experience for my 4-year-old who is so proud of her newly pierced ears. Thank you Jayden & Ashlee! ?“

“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!“

“they were very helpful when i came in to ask for opinions/ assistance with an existing piercing issue (the irritated piercing was from a different shop… i should have gone to big iron haha)! panther helped me get better jewelry for a super fair price and everyone there is chill“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amy she did a really good job on the Godzilla tattoo & everyone there is really friendly and nice. Amy also did a great job on my Godzilla sleeve tattoo as well.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Great experience! Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and professional! Beautiful artist. Prices are reasonable! Definitely recommend“

“Amazing experience, Pat did my Michael Meyers tattoo and I love it . The shop is really nice , clean and welcoming they have amazing merch as well …“

“Awesome Work, Helpful and Understanding.

Friendly Tattoo Artists and Awesome Atmosphere!“

“Not knowing that I needed an appointment I showed up to the shop, so it was closed and I made a phone call. Went to voicemail but within 2 minutes Sean called me back. Within an hour I was in the shop. The work that Sean did was above and beyond. It's a memorial piece and a portrait as well and I had some significant alterations that I wanted done to it. It was absolutely no problem for him. I'm headed back Monday to get it finished up. I would 100% recommend Sean to anyone looking for some ink.“
