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'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 am head over boots with the finished product! The process of getting a tattoo, to me, is annoying, but once it's done it's so worth it! Jess banged out a pretty big top shoulder piece for me (even with breaks) in under 3 hours. She is a great conversationalist and made me feel comfortable and chill the whole time I was there. The whole team at Alter Ego is really nice and great to hang out with. It's been a month now; and my tattoo has healed beautifully! I made another appointment to get more work done in September! I can't wait to let Jess work more on my half sleeve in process! Wash your hands, and wear your mask and go get a freaking awesome tattoo from Jess, Adam or AJ at Alter Ego!

Upon entering, I noticed just how clean this place is and the smiling person sitting at the desk welcoming us. There is an amazing variety of tattoo graphics lining the walls which made me start thinking about my next piece of wearable art. We were escorted to the piercing stand where Lisa came out to show the jewelry and prices. They have a nice selection of studs and other type of jewelry for piercing. Lisa also answered all of my questions and really helped to ease my fear. I felt very comfortable and decided to just do it. Sanitary protocols were adhered to and after a quick little pinch and a watery eye, it was done. It was so easy and I now have a nose piercing! I recommend this spot to anyone looking for tattoos or piercings. Service is friendly, fast and clean. I can't wait to come back for more.

Be the judge of my experience. I made an appointment to get two sets of earLOBE piercings. The…read morereason I made the appointment was the week prior I brought my dad in for an earlobe piercing. His earlobe was pierced with a stud. So when I went in I fully expected to get studs...I did not. First I knew I offended her when I made a comment about cheap jewelry but I was referring to fragile acrylic balls. Something told me to leave but like an idiot I stayed. On my left ear the third ring sits on an angle due to the way it was pierced. On my right ear I noticed a difference in the ring sizes and had it confirmed that one ring was 8mm and the other 10mm. But my genuine question is why the differences in your protocol. You wouldn't put a big ring in an infant or toddlers ears. Healing is much more difficult with hoops-I've had lots of near misses with a brush. New place I visited said flat back studs should have been used. I could tell she wasn't interested in seeing the cutesy ideas I had for my ears but I listened with feigned interest about how she can afford fancy meal kits. I made an appointment to see an APP piercer who said they'll fix me up once healed. I wasn't going for a gauged look. Bottom line to all those reading. Ask if the shop is registered APP. Write down all your questions and get it in writing if you have to. Ask if the business follows set protocols or I just got unlucky because she didn't care for me because I don't fit the profile of a piercing fanatic. In fact one piercer told me "if the piercer tells you it HAS to be done a certain way walk out immediately. I still tipped and I wish I hadn't. I don't like writing negative reviews because a business owners livelihood depends on customers. Please don't let a piercer tell you it's their way or the highway. In fact the reason I didn't say anything while still in the chair was fear of being kicked out of the shop as noted in other reviews which have since been removed by the business owner. As have the other negative reviews. From experience I can tell you there are options where you won't be at the mercy of a piercer.

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!

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!
