The studio was very clean and organized. I called this studio multiple times before coming in and they always answered any questions I had and were very helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone. You pay for quality and care which is exactly what I got when I came here.

I had to close them and yesterday (a year later) they healed beautifully leaving no scars and also yesterday I finally got my ears pierced and for the first time ever I'm wearing normal earrings. I'm excited lol now I can wear all those beautiful earrings I've been saving for years once my ears heal again. I couldn't have picked a better person to do this. 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!

Let me begin by saying if you want a tattoo THIS is the place to get it. The skill level,…read moreexperience and quality are second to nothing. I did my research and after consulting several artists Dooner here at Up in Arms was my final answer! Let me just say that being my first tattoo I was cautious in finding a good artist in a clean, comfortable location. I could go on and on but who likes to read a long review so let me just say, the staff and Dooner are professional and friendly and are there for YOU. The entire experience from scheduling to the preparation to the actual appointment including aftercare was seamless and simple. Yes you must get an appointment months in advance, but you can possibly get a walk in as well. I booked mine three months out but I also had a 5 hour piece of art. Dooner was exceptional and handled my anxiety like a champ. I felt comfortable the entire time other than the first tattoo jitters I'm sure most go through. The parlor was clean and comfortable with a great music selection playing. Conversation was easy and the entire experience, AWESOME! I highly recommend Dooner or his colleagues for your next art piece. You will be stoked as I've already had many people compliment me on mine. I am already considering a second piece, and I know where I'll be going

I search for "Back dimple piercing", this businesses name appears…read more I call the business and the piercer says that he doesn't do back piercings and makes all sorts of excuses. I attempt to allay his fears by noting that I have done many of my own piercings but this one is in a difficult area (Lower back). I offer to pay a handsome premium for ONE piercing. I offered $200 (normally 50-80 dependent on where you go and placement) Instead of accommodating a client (who has done many of their own piercings with no complications, and I DID explain this) the piercer chose the immature reaction and *hung up* on a potential client. *** Your mileage may vary but I would be wary of a piercer that gets emotive enough to just hang up with zero warning. *** Bad business practices. Poor customer service. It is not surprising that the vast majority of businesses in this line of service do not last and eventually close. The one star was well earned.

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!

PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE! Where do I even begin? I came here to visit my bestfriend for all of 48…read morehours and we had the grand idea of getting the tattoos we've been plotting for years. If I could rate Panther a 10 out of 5 I would. I have a decent amount of tattoos, my entire back is covered, two rib tattoos and a half sleeve. Some of which were done from very well known artists that are now featured in TV shows. Panther gave me, by far, the best overall experience I've ever had. From quality work, to genuine conversation, or even just ensuring we felt comfortable with the healing process. ARTWORK- 5/5: We'll start here because that's what many people care about. Panther is an amazing artist. He pays very close attention to detail. Is very true to his work and cuts no corners. Even when you may think you're "finished" he'll connect with you and throw ideas here and there. You'll never leave the chair uncomfortable or dissatisfied. Great patience. Great vibe. Great dude. Super motivational throughout the process, if you're a first timer he'll be exceptional for you. If you're seasoned in the tattoo game, he's just as exceptional. To produce such quality work at such short notice tells you a lot about him. SERVICE- 5/5: We came in with an idea and Panther spoke with us and shot ideas, communicated back and forth with the pros and cons of particular placing, size, etc. Took the idea and essentially BOSS'd it out. Came out 1,000,000 times better than expected. Did a great job involving us throughout the journey; made us feel right as home. PROCESS- 5/5: I messaged them using Yelp because they were unavailable to answer the phone. Within minutes I got a response asking for more details on what I had in mind. After a couple back and forth we were encouraged to come into the shop and speak to Panther in person so we could make something happen. PRICING- 5/5: We sat down and discussed a vision, the cost came last. He's human just like the rest of us though so I'm 100% if you have a budget I wouldn't doubt you all can figure something out together. Never got the vibe of him being money hungry, charging more than what his work is worth, as many artists try to go. When we left I genuinely wished I had taken out more cash to tip him even more, he really deserved every dime I paid.
