    I've been to plenty of tattoo shops in my lifetime, and have had mostly unsatisfactory experiences…read more But, The Bodyworks is definitely a breath of fresh air. 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.

    You want to get tattooed in an art studio? That's what it's like here. Amazing facility, awesome…read moreprofessional staff. Pittsburgh is a below the radar tattoo paradise, and this is an amazing place to get ink. Clean, private rooms, friendly people, and reasonably priced for the amazing high quality art you're getting.

    Derek went above and beyond for my family when we got our piercings, not only was he well informed…read moreand professional but he was incredibly patient and kind! We had an excellent time and we will totally be coming back next time we are in town!!

    In February 2018 I came to Jake Stanford wanting to get two full color sleeves. We set up Sundays…read morefor my appointments. I was supposed to come get tattooed every Sunday until the sleeves were finished. Jake was NEVER on time for our appointment. He was late so often that eventually we pushed the start time back from one until two. Sometimes it was later. He was never prepared to work. This would mean I showed up at two for an appointment but would have to wait for him to open the shop, eat, use the bathroom, & then setup to tattoo. Most days the actual tattooing did not start until several HOURS after my appointment time. If the appointment was 2 that would mean tattooing starts at 5. I've never had someone waste my time more than Jake. JAKE IS ALSO COLORBLIND. Something he does not tell people up front. Something he did not tell me until several sessions into color sleeves. Due to this he tattoos at such a slow rate that it seems unreal. A two hour tattoo becomes a full day experience after waiting several hours to start and then the slow pace at which Jake tattoos. He also checks text messages and social media while tattooing. Due to this slow process a tattoo that should be a few hours and 1 session gets stretched into several sessions over multiple days. None of the tattoos Jake does are 1 session. I have several unfinished tattoos on me which Jake does not want to schedule finishing due to the fact "touchups" are unpaid. I've sat over 51 hours of tattooing with Jake and nothing is complete.  I switched from Sundays to Thursdays to accommodate Jake. Three apts ago I was cut short for Jake to go on a date. Two apts ago I was cut short because Jake had scheduled another tattoo after mine even though I was supposed to be booked for the day. Last apt he cut me short again for another tattoo even though I had booked a full day. Then I had an appointment which he tried to push from 2 up to noon so he could tattoo someone else even though again, I was supposed to have the day booked. I cancelled that apt knowing there was no way Jake would be on time at noon or fully awake and at 100% to tattoo. Then I was told I have to wait a month to get in because my full days were booked by other people. Now I'm in the position of having to find another artist to finish what Jake started or find a way to cover it all.
