Let me begin by saying if you want a tattoo THIS is the place to get it. The skill level,…read moreexperience and quality are second to nothing. I did my research and after consulting several artists Dooner here at Up in Arms was my final answer! Let me just say that being my first tattoo I was cautious in finding a good artist in a clean, comfortable location. I could go on and on but who likes to read a long review so let me just say, the staff and Dooner are professional and friendly and are there for YOU. The entire experience from scheduling to the preparation to the actual appointment including aftercare was seamless and simple. Yes you must get an appointment months in advance, but you can possibly get a walk in as well. I booked mine three months out but I also had a 5 hour piece of art. Dooner was exceptional and handled my anxiety like a champ. I felt comfortable the entire time other than the first tattoo jitters I'm sure most go through. The parlor was clean and comfortable with a great music selection playing. Conversation was easy and the entire experience, AWESOME! I highly recommend Dooner or his colleagues for your next art piece. You will be stoked as I've already had many people compliment me on mine. I am already considering a second piece, and I know where I'll be going

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 :)

I search for "Back dimple piercing", this businesses name appears…read more I call the business and the piercer says that he doesn't do back piercings and makes all sorts of excuses. I attempt to allay his fears by noting that I have done many of my own piercings but this one is in a difficult area (Lower back). I offer to pay a handsome premium for ONE piercing. I offered $200 (normally 50-80 dependent on where you go and placement) Instead of accommodating a client (who has done many of their own piercings with no complications, and I DID explain this) the piercer chose the immature reaction and *hung up* on a potential client. *** Your mileage may vary but I would be wary of a piercer that gets emotive enough to just hang up with zero warning. *** Bad business practices. Poor customer service. It is not surprising that the vast majority of businesses in this line of service do not last and eventually close. The one star was well earned.

Big shoutout to my sweetie who insisted I go because I didn't want to due to a previous bad experience with customer service from another artist there 2 years ago.

I arrived at my appointment early was taken back almost immediately while everything was getting cleaned off and prepared for me I was given multiple options and styles for what I sent which i really appreciate considering how indecisive I am. This was my first tattoo very quick, easy and quite painless. I have heard nothing but great things about 412 INKD and I am so glad I got such a great experience and will most definitely be coming back for future tattoos. I could not recommend this place more.

I really have to say that this tattoo shop was a wonderful experience to have on a Saturday morning. Michelle the owner in tattooer was probably one of the most gracious and amazing people I have met. While I was not the one to get tattooed by her the conversation that we had as a group was just amazing. She is a beautiful soul. Her ability to be so open and understanding of similar life experiences while making it about the person and not just herself was fantastic. While I was the not the one who is getting tattooed she made me feel comfortable in the space that she provided. She even gave me a recommendation about a tattoo cover up that I've been thinking about for some years now. She made me feel assured and comfortable that what I wanted is a possibility and to not be afraid to go for it. Michelle is a warm and friendly individual that only allows positivity in her space. And she even takes time to talk to her clients outside of the tattoo space. I would suggest coming here for a positive inclusive tattoo experience. You will not be disappointed.
