I've been following this place on Instagram for weeks, and I finally made it in for a piercing…read more First off, the outside entrance is super cute and the aesthetic is just lovely. When you step inside, you'll see their jewelry case with all genuine metal, hypoallergenic pieces that you can leave in forever. They have a range of options, including gold, diamond, and cubic zirconia. A friendly lady at the front will guide you through all the jewelry options. I chose this place because of its cute, dainty jewelry, which is perfect if you like smaller pieces. The process is straightforward: you pay separately for the piercing and the jewelry. The piercing itself is $60, and you'll need to buy the stud or back piece, which costs an additional $18. The jewelry ranges from $85 and up. My final cost was around $300 for a genuine gold piece with a real diamond. The studio was clean, and the piercer was incredibly knowledgeable, laid-back, and easy to talk to. I'm already planning my next visit and looking forward to getting another piercing. We even mapped out my ear for future piercings!

I had to close them and yesterday (a year later) they healed beautifully leaving no scars and also yesterday I finally got my ears pierced and for the first time ever I'm wearing normal earrings.

Thank you Zack For making this process easier than I thought and such a beautiful experience. If you're in the Pittsburgh area and want to get pierced with high quality titanium and gold jewelry check out Genisys Body Arts. Zack is the best! Definitely worth the trip from Maryland!

I came here with my friend to be her support while she was getting her tattoo. Not that she really…read moreneeded me since she's had plenty of tattoos but I came because it was also in the neighborhood. 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.

PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE! Where do I even begin? I came here to visit my bestfriend for all of 48…read morehours and we had the grand idea of getting the tattoos we've been plotting for years. If I could rate Panther a 10 out of 5 I would. I have a decent amount of tattoos, my entire back is covered, two rib tattoos and a half sleeve. Some of which were done from very well known artists that are now featured in TV shows. Panther gave me, by far, the best overall experience I've ever had. From quality work, to genuine conversation, or even just ensuring we felt comfortable with the healing process. ARTWORK- 5/5: We'll start here because that's what many people care about. Panther is an amazing artist. He pays very close attention to detail. Is very true to his work and cuts no corners. Even when you may think you're "finished" he'll connect with you and throw ideas here and there. You'll never leave the chair uncomfortable or dissatisfied. Great patience. Great vibe. Great dude. Super motivational throughout the process, if you're a first timer he'll be exceptional for you. If you're seasoned in the tattoo game, he's just as exceptional. To produce such quality work at such short notice tells you a lot about him. SERVICE- 5/5: We came in with an idea and Panther spoke with us and shot ideas, communicated back and forth with the pros and cons of particular placing, size, etc. Took the idea and essentially BOSS'd it out. Came out 1,000,000 times better than expected. Did a great job involving us throughout the journey; made us feel right as home. PROCESS- 5/5: I messaged them using Yelp because they were unavailable to answer the phone. Within minutes I got a response asking for more details on what I had in mind. After a couple back and forth we were encouraged to come into the shop and speak to Panther in person so we could make something happen. PRICING- 5/5: We sat down and discussed a vision, the cost came last. He's human just like the rest of us though so I'm 100% if you have a budget I wouldn't doubt you all can figure something out together. Never got the vibe of him being money hungry, charging more than what his work is worth, as many artists try to go. When we left I genuinely wished I had taken out more cash to tip him even more, he really deserved every dime I paid.

People deal with loss in different ways and one way that I have dealt with a loss recently was to…read moreget some ink to remember. I had no intention to deliberately come here, but as I was walking down the street I felt this is where I was going to do it. It was a rainy day and I walked up to the place and looked up and thought, yeah, this is the appropriate place to do so. I had no clue if they took walk-ins, or were able at that moment to do my tattoo. I just felt numb at that point and walked in here. I went to the counter and was asked what they could do for me. I showed them what I wanted tattooed on me and where I would like it to be. After making sure what I wanted would be alright when it would be stenciled they made sure the sizing was right for the area. While they were doing all that I filled out the tattoo waiver form to have this done and just waited until it was time. It had been a few years since I last got a tattoo and was a bit anxious with it all, but the artist that did my tattoo, Jeff, put me at ease. Because of me being a walk in and it being a simple tattoo, I think I took up maybe twenty minutes total of their time. The tattooing itself did not bother me one bit. When Jeff was all finished and he cleaned it a bit, he had me look at it to see how it looked. I went to the mirror, looked at it, chocked up a bit and told him it was perfect. He asked if I was alright and I told him yeah, it just means a lot to me that he was able to get the handwriting perfect. See, I had a bit of a breakdown knowing that my Mom was not going to be signing anymore of my birthday cards, so I had her handwriting tattooed on me from a previous birthday card to have forever. Jeff saw the sadness in my eyes and asked if I needed a hug. I told him I was fine, just having a moment. He then asked again if I needed a hug and I told him I appreciate the gesture, but I am fine. After he was done and had me set up to go, he took some of his time to talk to me about how loss is a tough thing to deal with and that he knows what I was going through. Some people just have the right compassion to be doing their line of work. Jeff exemplifies was a good person is and kind and caring being. I totally appreciate what they were able to accomplish for me, anytime I miss Mom I give a rub of that tattoo am reminded that I am loved. Phew, sorry to be a downer there, but it was an emotional day, and I needed to hear some kind words at that particular moment. I believe I was brought here for a reason. I would definitely come back and ask for Jeff to do my next tattoo. Also, not bad for this being my 2,700th review. Glad it could be this place.

However it was on our Pittsburgh Coffee Passport and so my wife and I headed over. The inside of it is quite an interesting place. It has a floor made of pennies, a brick wall and an intricately decorated ceiling. I am pretty sure they are a coffee shop, tattoo parlor and art gallery all in one. So that means that there is art and t shirts hanging up all over the place. For our coffee on this day both my wife and I both ordered cappuccino. They came out with swan decorations in the foam with spoons made to look like skulls. The flavor of the coffee here was good too. My first sip was a little bitter but it quickly smoothed out the more of it that I drank and I enjoyed it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Artisan is definitely a hipster place but they have some good coffee for reasonable prices.
