When I went, the worker who attended to me was very nice, calming, and welcoming during the piercing (which was my first) and let my friend sit in with me to help me out. During the piercing, they went too fast and it was more painful than usual, which honestly didn't bother me because it wasn't excruciating. The worker then offered to knock off half the price, at which point I said I really wasn't that bothered. Then they shook their head and said "actually it's on me." Extremely trustworthy to admit a mistake to a newcomer and extremely kind to send me home with a free 50 dollar service over a mistake that I didn't even notice. Also my piercing looks great and they kindly walked me through my recovery plan!!! I'll definitely be coming back for a tattoo!

The studio itself is so cool. They have winding stairs to their upstairs rooms and they have very comfortable couches you can wait on. Everything was very clean, even the bathroom was spotless. Getting the tattoo was super quick but the line work was very clean. They did an amazing job!

This is such a good piercing place in Pittsburgh! I haven't been to any others in Pittsburgh to be…read morefair, but I trust this place a lot. They're very skilled, knowledgeable, and clean (which is so important for a piercing place.) The guy who does piercings is so cool and really friendly. He's very helpful with advising you about pain levels, with telling you how to clean your piercing, and with helping you pick out your jewelry; he's also very patient as you're deciding where the piercing should go. He makes you feel really calm and less nervous when getting the actual piercing too, which I appreciate a lot. I've gotten pierced here on two separate days and have had great experiences with him both times. He also works really fast, so you're in and out with a new piercing pretty quickly. Piercing prices are honestly really reasonable for the quality and service you're getting. My friend's piercing fell out after she got it done here and she came back and they helped her put it back in safely. No complaints here! PSA they do 2 piercings for the price of 1 on Tuesdays, but the wait can get REALLY long since everyone and their mom shows up on that day for the deal. Would advise going earlier to secure your spot if you're going on Tuesday, otherwise you'll make the piercing guy stay hours past closing :( The waiting area inside is pretty limited (only a few couches) so if it's really crowded you might have to leave and come back. Also Sushi Kim 2 right next door is the perfect place for dinner if you're waiting for your piercing during dinner time. It's some of the best sushi and Korean food in the city. Highly recommend checking it out :)

My sister took it like a champ and didn't flinch me on the other hand I have a low pain tolerance so it wasn't as smooth as a ride as my sister, however josh handled it very well, and tried to make it go as smoothly as possible which I'm so thankful for! Studio 30 was recommended to me! And I would recommend to anyone any day! It was extremely clean and everything was sanitary, every time something was touched it was wiped down and he put on new gloves each time!

I cant believe I'm the first to review this tattoo studio (I also cant believe its taken me so long…read moreto do so.. oops). I got my tattoo here last month by Amy, and I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience, which is a pretty big deal when you're dealing with something as permanent as a tattoo.. not like I can just demand a refund if I'm unhappy. From my very first time there to make my appointment, I was impressed by what I saw and experienced. First and foremost, the studio is clean and organized.. BIG deal. Amy is super cool and friendly, and she literally may be the easiest person to work with. I had to cancel my original appointment and reschedule it for a later time, and she was nothing but understanding and nice about it. They do require a small deposit when you book an appointment, but they're really flexible about it. The day of my appointment, Amy opened the shop early to do my tattoo, which was super cool of her. She took time before hand to perfect my idea and make sure it was exactly what I wanted, and really helped ease my nerves as we stood there and talked.. she's got a great personality! More importantly though, shes a fantastic artist! My tattoo was simple and quick, but I chose her and her studio because I had seen her work online and was really impressed with her stuff, so I knew that even with something as simple as mine, she'd nail it, and she did. I'm totally inlove with it, and I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime!

In February 2018 I came to Jake Stanford wanting to get two full color sleeves. We set up Sundays…read morefor my appointments. I was supposed to come get tattooed every Sunday until the sleeves were finished. Jake was NEVER on time for our appointment. He was late so often that eventually we pushed the start time back from one until two. Sometimes it was later. He was never prepared to work. This would mean I showed up at two for an appointment but would have to wait for him to open the shop, eat, use the bathroom, & then setup to tattoo. Most days the actual tattooing did not start until several HOURS after my appointment time. If the appointment was 2 that would mean tattooing starts at 5. I've never had someone waste my time more than Jake. JAKE IS ALSO COLORBLIND. Something he does not tell people up front. Something he did not tell me until several sessions into color sleeves. Due to this he tattoos at such a slow rate that it seems unreal. A two hour tattoo becomes a full day experience after waiting several hours to start and then the slow pace at which Jake tattoos. He also checks text messages and social media while tattooing. Due to this slow process a tattoo that should be a few hours and 1 session gets stretched into several sessions over multiple days. None of the tattoos Jake does are 1 session. I have several unfinished tattoos on me which Jake does not want to schedule finishing due to the fact "touchups" are unpaid. I've sat over 51 hours of tattooing with Jake and nothing is complete.  I switched from Sundays to Thursdays to accommodate Jake. Three apts ago I was cut short for Jake to go on a date. Two apts ago I was cut short because Jake had scheduled another tattoo after mine even though I was supposed to be booked for the day. Last apt he cut me short again for another tattoo even though I had booked a full day. Then I had an appointment which he tried to push from 2 up to noon so he could tattoo someone else even though again, I was supposed to have the day booked. I cancelled that apt knowing there was no way Jake would be on time at noon or fully awake and at 100% to tattoo. Then I was told I have to wait a month to get in because my full days were booked by other people. Now I'm in the position of having to find another artist to finish what Jake started or find a way to cover it all.
