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!

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 :)

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.

There were outlets near the tables which was convenient for our laptops. The general volume was quiet as most people were doing independent work on their laptops or sketching art. It's really hipster inside based on the outside art, inside art, and clientele. I would go again if I'm in the area or need to meet a group in a quiet place bear garfield.
