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!

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!

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.

Dave was awesome, he was ready to roll soon as I walked in, after I did the usually paperwork we got to work. The shop has a great vibe, everyone one was friendly and the shop is very open and mellow. Dave did a great job, we had a nice conversation while he worked on my piece. Before I knew it we were done and I was out of there. I want to thank the crew there for being professional and having such a great environment for getting a quick tattoo, and thanks again Dave for doing such a good job on my new ink. When I am in the area again I wouldn't have a second thought about going to get more work done at the shop.

They offer comprehensive tattoo removal/editing services, and have a great variety of unique artists to suit you own personal tastes. The shop is very clean and professional, and there is plenty of awesome artwork around to look at while you are waiting. When you walk in the door, you are greated by Pittsburgh punk legend Dave Trenga. Dave is always so gracious, welcoming, and friendly. Every time I go there I am offered some kind food and refreshment. This really cool to me, because sometimes going to get a tattoo can be an unnerving nervous experience for me. I always feel appreciated and welcomed by the entire staff. I go to the Bodyworks to see Steve Morris, who specializes in photorealistic tattoos. His work is truly amazing, and he is such a nice guy. I also utilize the laser tattoo removal services of Wes South. I didn't think it was possible to have a tattoo removed, and have It be so affordable. All the artists work in conjunction with Wes to help you be rid of that tattoo you don't want any longer. My overall impression of the Bodyworks, is overwhelmingly positive. The staff are all super people, truly epic at what they do. I would definitely recommend this place as the very best tattoo studio in Pittsburgh. You can go anywhere and get just an average tattoo, or you can go to the Bodyworks and get something uniquely amazing, that you'll treasure forever. Thank you.

I used to live right down the road from this place so figured I'd go there to get a quick, small tattoo. The tattoo is all line work - two triangle shapes and a check mark - not hard right? So I go to get my tattoo and walk out with this. The lines are completely inconsistent in color and thickness. If you look carefully, you can see where the thickness varies and the lines aren't straight. Since this was back in 2017, I have no idea who at the shop did this one. But that's my own fault for not caring enough until now.
