So this was a few years ago but finally got around to writing a review because this finally annoyed…read moreme enough to share. 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.

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.

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.

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.

With that said; here are some insights that may be helpful: 1) You can see by the examples I've attached, he takes pride in his craft. Great detail work/realism and a good knack for placing tattoos in the proper place. 2) Pricing was always fair. You get what you pay for - quality work done with quality ink in a sanitary environment. 3) John has always kept to his schedule and was always ready to start tattooing upon my arrival to his shop. Sessions for large pieces go from anywhere between 3-4 hours. 4) his shop is clean and his tattoo area is organized. He always sanitizes the area you are getting tattooed before, during, and after the tattoo. 5) John has a great personality - we got a long great from the get go. He's super easy to talk to. 6) His shop is consistently booked so be patient getting a time slot booked. That was the first thing that shocked me - how far out he is usually booked; sometimes months. It's worth the wait though! In conclusion, I definitely recommend going here if you're looking for a tattoo artist in the Butler area.

Prior to the pandemic I had decided I wanted to get boxing gloves on my shoulder. Having not gotten a tattoo in two decades and having sworn I would never again, I just like that changed my mind. She had come to this location twice to get a couple tattoos of her own over the past couple years and thought it would make a great birthday gift to come together for an appointment. It turned out to be on of the best gifts. The shop is in a strip mall. The waiting area leave little to be desired. My BFF made our appointments on a Saturday at 4pm. She said the artist though very nice and does good work has a tendency to run late. When she said late I never really imagined what was in store for us. The shop closes at 6 on Saturday's and we were still in the waiting room "waiting" for our appointment to begin. About 2ish hours in she said we could come back. I was a ball of nerves. The last time I got a tattoo I fainted, twice. The first time I got a tattoo I also fainted, twice. Both times I had to be brought back with smelling salts. I don't recommend. She heard that and took great care to get some gummy bears in me, have cold water available, a fan pointed at me and had me lay down as opposed to seated as with my other experiences. It worked. Still hurt like heck but I did not faint. In the end after being there for basically a whole day, I was pleased with the artist Aime, the results of the tattoo and the price was fair. I wasn't really happy with how long it took to get us back there and to complete the process, but that is about the only bad thing I can say. Since the first time I have been back to see Aime 2x's, for two more tattoos after swearing them off for 20 years. Funny thing is I'm a little obsessed now... But the waiting is not a fluke. Clear your calendar and pack a lunch. You WILL be here all day. Otherwise very much recommend
