He's also the only option you'll find in the area that INCLUDES the price of jewelry in the cost of piercing. He uses stainless steel rings and studs for all his piercings unless you have an allergy and was also willing to let me bring in my own jewelry (no other shops will let you do this because they want to up charge you like crazy for the jewelry). Aside from those things he is clearly very experienced at what he does, and was incredibly kind and patient with me as I tried to decide if I wanted to follow through with the piercing. Would definitely recommend him and go back. On a side not he takes walk-ins which is a godsend when it comes to trying to schedule appointments during Covid. I was going to have to wait a week for all other places minimum.

Brian Gilley is a stand up guy as well and makes sure I'm taken care of when I walk in the shop if he's the first person I see. I love these guys and I love getting tattooed at Pisst Fish. The shop is clean, comfortable and relaxing which is the perfect environment for getting tattooed. Chad always exceeds expectations and is truly talented. I have large areas of coverage and I am constantly complimented on how well my tattoos look which I couldn't be happier about. I am still working on large pieces with Chad and the journey has been incredible. If you are looking to be tattooed in Western Mass, Pisst Fish should be your first choice! I'm very fortunate to have such an awesome shop with great people in my hometown.

At my appointment, I brought in a picture of what I was looking for; he then took my picture and created a drawing for what my tattoo could look like. The pain was to be expected but the end result made it totally worth it. Now I completely understand when people say "once you get a tattoo, you'll keep wanting more". Can't wait to add into my arm band and make it more beautiful!

A Taurus tattoo showed the "artist heather " a picture of what I wanted and she gave me a price of 275 . 75 for the deposit and 200 for the rest . we texted back and forth deciding on the design until my appointment which I couldn't show up due to unforeseen circumstances so we rescheduled . it took 4 hours for the outline and she said I should come back to do the rest in 2 weeks I think she was getting tired and I was too so I agreed . Okay cool not a problem . A few days later I asked if I could come back earlier than 2 weeks and she said I would have to pay another deposit and 250 to finish what should've already been done the first time . Talk about a fucking scam . Now I have a fucked up incomplete tattoo that I have to find somebody to fix . I'm beyond pissed this was supposed to be a birthday present to myself and I'm embarrassed to even show it . I advice you find a different artist in the shop to do your tattoos .

He is unprofessional as several times…read morehe rescheduled last minute or when I would arrive for my appointment, he would tell me he's too tired & that the session will be short. He was constantly annoyed & bothered by me inquiring about the tattoo before & during the process. He requires a $100 non refundable deposit that he uses as his own tip, & still charges u full price. Several times he overcharge after the session was done even though the work completed was smaller or took less time than previous pieces he worked on. He does not treat loyal cliental well as I booked several sessions & only grew increasingly more dissatisfied and disappointed in his unprofessionalism towards me. The last two pieces he worked on were very unsatisfactory & instead of trying to help & rework the flaws & mistakes, he canceled my future appointment & told me to find a new artist. Also you will be charged full price for touch ups & edits to the mistakes he made. Don't be fooled by his Instagram, he only posts 1 tattoo out of every 30 which speaks volumes on the "quality" most people get since he isn't comfortable posting his work, only the very few he does well. Glad to no longer conduct business with him anymore. There are many great artists that supersede him in not only quality art work but professionalism, customer service and overall human decency as well.

Went for a walk in piercing…read more SO many red flags. I should have walked out. - In the lobby, several guys sitting on old couches while browsing their phones- not waiting for services. It's a business, not a clubhouse. All were buddies of some employee. - Shelves and shelves of Funko Pops. Piercing person told me the owner had them as an "investment". Nah. I should have walked out then- that's on me. - After my piercing, no aftercare advice or instruction was offered. I asked for some info and was offered a printer-paper trifold pamphlet. Had to ask google for more. Piercing care is essential and should be gone over before and after the service. Would NOT recommend this place. Feels like a crew of barely licensed people in a cheap rent shop. I have gone several other places that were way cleaner and tons more professional.

From my understanding outside of flash days -- or if an artist schedules a specific walk-in day -- the shop is appointment only. At the time of this review, the shop is all women artists. I mostly mention this because the 1 star reviews the shop has on yelp indicate the artist was a guy those reviews are a bit out of date. The shop is kinda small for three tattoo artist and a piercer, but it's a clean space and has a cozy/chill vibe.
