I came here with my friend to be her support while she was getting her tattoo. Not that she really needed me since she's had plenty of tattoos but I came because it was also in the neighborhood. 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. read more

Gypsy is a great shop. They are appointment only so make sure to coordinate with your artist first. Warm vibes with great artists, highly recommend read more

My mom and I had an appointment with Emiliana today and I could not be happier with the results and the session overall. Not only did Emiliana execute this tattoo flawlessly, she also made both of us feel so comfortable and relaxed. I have been wanting more tattoos for a while but have been to nervous to make the move. Gypsy Tattoo Parlor is not like your typical tattoo studio. The environment was very chill and inviting. I would 100% recommend getting a tattoo with Emiliana if you are considering it. read more

Gypsy Tattoo Parlor - Tattoo by emiliana - Tattoo Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I first heard about Emiliana at Gypsy tattoo from my cousin.. we share a love of tattoos- and i trust her judgement- so I booked my first appointment, for 7 tattoos. (go big or go home, right?) Immediately walking into Gypsy, I felt comfortable and welcome. I'd say this is in part to the fact there are female artists, and it's a known lgbtq+ friendly shop. My tattoo artist Emiliana explained, some shops are intimidating to go into, all men, etc. As a proud ally, this felt awesome to hear. Not only that, but what a time to support women owned businesses. Emiliana was kind, professional, and so patient. She is so easy to talk to and made my 8th, 9th & 10th tattoos from her quite an enjoyable experience. I'll be back for 4 more in November, I can't wait. read more

Got my first tattoo here 6 years ago and went back recently for another and I was so thrilled to experience the same cleanliness and quality that I've come to expect from Gypsy. I have so much trust in this establishment doing a nice job and safely! Alicia was the artist that gave me the tattoo this time and she did such a nice job with the line work and was so willing to give me creative freedom in the process. Would highly recommend both Gypsy and Alicia (@knifedreams), and would recommend booking an appointment in advance! read more

Oh, my gosh. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience from scheduling to the actual finished tattoo. Everything was easy and professional. The shop is welcoming, peaceful, and extremely clean, yet does not feel in the least bit sterile or cold. Emily is a wonderful and calming presence and so talented! Her attention to every single detail was top-notch. We were both new to tattoos and she made us feel so comfortable. Every single surface in her whole studio was sanitized with alcohol before each of our tattoos. The actual tattoo itself barely hurt a bit, and she gave us very detailed instructions about aftercare to ensure we will heal well. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Michelle at Gypsy Tattoo. I went for my first tattoo and was a little nervous. Michelle was so supportive and made sure I was comfortable as I could be throughout the entire process. I did not feel rushed at all when deciding on placement/orientation, and Michelle took the time to reapply the stencil multiple times until the positioning was perfect - taking into account how the tattoo would appear with different body positions. During the tattoo itself I was given a heads up when she was about to work on areas that would be more sensitive, which I appreciated. It is clear that she has a strong passion for both her art and her clients, and the quality of her work speaks for itself. I would recommend her to anyone and will be coming back to Michelle for any future work! read more

I applied for a commemorative tattoo for my brother who passed away in January. I sent my requests to two artists at this studio. I wanted a fine line bundle of wildflowers with a bird flying away from the flowers. I was met with this response from both of them that in summary stated this tattoo did not meet the artistic direction they were going in and good luck finding someone else. I have never heard of rejecting a tattoo request due to artistic direction. And both Jules and Emilianna have work in their portfolio similar to what I wanted. Very disappointed especially because it was a tribute to my brother that passed and wanted someone who had work to show they would do a good job on it. read more

Michelle is AMAZING. Seriously. If you want a beautiful tattoo and like to support wonderful local woman-owned businesses, LOOK NO FURTHER! I waited 3 months for an appointment with Michelle and I am SO happy I waited instead of settling for subpar ink. She specializes in fine line tattoos and is dedicated to making sure you get something you truly love! I got a beautiful, 8-inch tattoo of a plum blossom branch and couldn't be happier. As a cherry on top, I had an incredible time talking to Michelle throughout the 1.5-hour session - she's a wonderful, warm, and compassionate human being and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do this tattoo for me! read more

The girls here are so nice and go out of their way to make you comfortable. Had my best ink done here by Jules, and everyone here is super talented. I hope to be back and 100% recommend. read more

I went here for my eighth tattoo and it was unlike any experience I've ever had getting ink. No aggressive music, pick a tatt off a wall, or angry men who make you feel vaguely unsafe here! The space is light and airy and full of art. Michelle worked with me for a couple months to get the design just right based on an illustration that I love. I was drawn to her because of her incredible artistry and style: she specializes in an old school engraving style that works great with the look I was going for. Her studio is full of art books and old plant engravings. Not only is she an amazingly skilled artist, she's just a delight to be around. She did three solid hours of line work on my piece yesterday, the detail of which is just stunning. I can't wait to come back for color! read more

Another absolutely stellar experience at Gypsy with Michelle! This time was for a custom-drawn thigh piece in her beautiful etching/line work style which she completed in two sessions. I can't say enough about how positive my encounters with Michelle and the rest of the staff always are. It's a joy to spend time with such a lovely bunch of creative, open-minded, welcoming professionals when many other shops I've experienced offer mediocre bedside manner at best (seriously, even when I'm cringing in pain and begging for a wipe they're the dearest bunch). Obviously you want your artist to be competent and clean, too but the good vibes from the Gypsy family go above and beyond to enrich the whole experience, start to finish. THANK YOU! read more

What a great place! I've always wanted a tattoo and I was referred to Michelle, the owner, through a trusted friend with quite a bit of ink Her skills are phenomenal and her art is just wonderful. That tattoo that I got was just perfect and I spent quite a bit of time afterwards just marveling at how great it is! I couldn't be happier with my result. She has a deft hand and the pain that I experienced with my first tattoo was really nothing to be worried about. She's very accepting and open as well, tries to foster an environment of love and tolerance in her business. LGBTQ folks are definitely welcome as I am trans myself. read more

Today I just finished up my last session with Michelle on a cover up piece on my rib cage. The first time I met with Michelle was for a consultation a few days before Thanksgiving. She made sure to take her time and plan out exactly what would not only cover the old tattoo up, but distract the eye away so that nobody even notices what was there before. She has an art degree from The Parsons School of Design, inside of her studio looks like an art gallery, not a stereotypical heavy metal tattoo parlor. The coverup took about 7 hours total, going in for a hour here or there between December and April (my choice, have you ever had scar tissue tattoo'd on your rib cage?!) but all the time and pain was more than worth it. Every single encounter with Michelle and every other member of her staff was always so warm and welcoming. I felt like part of their family. There is a 1 star review posted by someone else because of the price per hour, that person does not realize, you are not paying for the size of the tattoo. What you are paying for is the uninterrupted time and creativity of an individual so that they can give you not only the tattoo you want, they go above and beyond your expectations. Also, they use high quality inks that give your skin the best color. One time Michelle mentioned to me in passing that just the cost of the ink for a one hour session with me cost $30. People forget that the price per hour includes more than what the artist values their time per hour, there are supplies that are also needed to give you the best piece of art that will last you a lifetime. read more

Michelle and the entire team at Gypsy Tattoo Parlor are so amazing! They're wonderful artists and you can tell how much they care about their work. Michelle has done two tattoos for me and they are both fantastic! I can't recommend them enough. read more

My moms friend highly recommended going here for my next tattoo. I saw the artists work and was blown away with the incredible and skillful line work. I have been in contact with an artist for over a month now. Weeks went by with no communication so i reached out again to make sure everything is okay. Still no response, with no explanation. Very disappointed with this experience. read more

Got a tattoo from Laura today and had such a great experience!!!! The shop was very clean and inviting, Laura and their coworker were incredibly friendly and professional. Fair pricing for amazing work. I am already planning my next tattoo! read more

After much deliberation and research, I chose to go to Gypsy for my first tattoo at a Pittsburgh shop (recently moved from an hour east of Pittsburgh). Kate was highly recommended by one of the bartenders at Hop Farm (props to them too, because they rock as well). As is typical with scheduling a tattoo, they scheduled me about 6 weeks out. Nothing I was surprised by. Well, it was worth the wait. Kate did an excellent job! She spent a lot of time with me discussing fonts and placement. It was more of a collaboration, which I very much appreciated. She worked quick, efficiently, with good attention to detail. Her lines were spot on. The other artist in the shop was also friendly. I felt comfortable and at ease being in the shop. The other artist, Laura, I believe, had just completed a woman's first ever tattoo while I was there. It was the cutest thing, and matched the girl's personality perfectly. As for the shop itself, its clean, well maintained, and the tattoo areas are very private. Oh, and to the best of my knowledge, they have a flat rate per hour ($120 - or at least that's what I was told when I scheduled). I'm assuming, though, that doesn't include extras, intricate artwork, or new drawings and changes. So, don't quote me on the pricing. I can say that Kate's final price fit perfectly into my budget, and stuck to what I was quoted when I scheduled. Thanks for doing such great work Kate! I will be back. read more

This is such a great place! The tattoo artist, Michelle, is so great at what she does and such a great person. She's very open to how you want your tattoo done and will give input if you want it. They also accept credit cards which is such a great thing since having a lot of cash sucks sometimes. I'd highly recommend this place to get a tattoo. I have no experience with piercings but I can only imagine that it's just as good as the tattoo part of the shop. read more

Emily was fabulous!! Although they are appt only I took a chance and called while I was eating lunch down the street. Oh and yes, the place was recommended by the bartender. After a quick chat on the phone to understand the details of what I wanted she said if I could be there in 30 mins it might work. I had my lunch boxed to go and zoomed in. She looked at my design, loved it and figuring time needed, agreed to do it. Very helpful in explaining every single step from cleaning my arm, products used, everything. I love my new art! Only my 2nd tattoo but as we all know, it's addicting! And yes, I will go back for #3! read more

I just want to say I had high hopes for this place, but left extremely disappointed. I was looking for a new tattoo artist as mine had retired, and when I found Gypsy Tattoo Parlor I thought I struck gold. Their website has a real positive vibe and the artists all have amazing portfolios. I am a person of research and really look in to every detail before settling on a decision especially when making one as great as getting a permanent piece of art on my body. I initially emailed one of their artists Kate whom I chose to do my tattoo, almost 2 weeks prior to my set appointment. I explained how I was driving over an hour for the appointment and took the liberty to draw the tattoo that I wanted with precision and explained how everything was exact except for a few modifications to the artistic effects on certain images that I wanted. She appreciated the detail and scheduled me the appointment at which I paid a $60 deposit for her to hold (which I didn't mind at all) and that would be deducted for the final cost of the tattoo. Well, today I had my appointment. I woke up early, drove the hour and half it took to get there, showed up 10min early (I was scheduled for 11am) she however was not on time, which of course things happen i get it. I didn't mind that part either. What I really found to be the first red flag was the fact that I sat and waited over an hour for her to draw up a tattoo that I had sent her the details for many days before. This makes my 13th tattoo and the only one I had to wait for to be drawn up. The money I paid to reserve that appointment at a specific time should atleast include a couple hours to prepare yourself for the day of. But I guess costumer satisfaction isn't the main concern here. And I found that out to be a proven fact at the end. To shorten this up, my tattoo looks nothing like I wanted it to look like. It took approx 40min to do which included the resizing and replacing of it after I addressed the first concern I had with it not looking right; to give an idea of how small this tattoo is. After she finished she tells me it'll cost $120. Which included the $60 I had already paid, making this a $180 tattoo that didn't even take a full hour to do. It's literally a triangle and small circles with a "lotus" at the bottom. One of my tattoos I already have takes up most of my upper leg and took 3 hours to do costed me a little over what she charged me for this one. So I didn't expect to pay more than $100 total for this tattoo.. I brought to her my concern about the price because their website says $100-$150 an hour (starting when ink touches skin) depending on detail. But $180 is charging me $30 more than the most their website says it would for a full hour when the tattoo didn't even take that long. She told me that a certain amount goes to the shop and a certain amount goes to herself based off of the price of the tattoo. So basically she over charged me to ensure she got a decent cut. After I told her I wasn't going to jip her on a tip (which I work in the tipping industry I would of taken good care of her even after the flukes in the beginning) she took off $20 and charged me $160 for the tattoo, which is still over the max amount they charge for a tattoo an hour. Regardless, I still tipped her and thanked her because In the end her greed and lack of seeing her customers as more than just that and not as human beings who are getting permanent meaningful pieces on their bodies, plants her karmic path. After leaving this shop I noticed how her lack of caring reflected on to my tattoo and I instantly called up my retired tattoo artist from town and he is going to fix it as soon as it heals. Money is money. The cost I paid is not the main focus of this review. I am writing this review, as my first one ever, because something so meaningful to me was overruled by the money she was going to receive from it. It took me a couple months to put together a piece that truly meant a lot to me with specific symbols in certain places that meant something to me personally and it pains me to now have such a negative impact attached to it. The lines don't match up, the circles and proportions are uneven, the tattoo itself isn't even centered. All things that are going to be fixed by someone else who actually cares about what I care about. If you are looking for a place to get a quick meaningless tattoo than Gypsy Tattoo Parlor is just for you. Kate's portfolio is really good, but it's obvious that the care for her work only extends to a select few. I made my drawing at the size that I wanted it, I placed it in the position I wanted it and told her the only things that needed changed was making the lotus look more artistic, I need 7 circles descending instead of 6 that I drew and that the eye I wanted to look more realistic as an 'all seeing eye' I got none of that. read more

I had a great experience working with Emily on my tattoo this summer. I felt the tattoo parlor was very organized , efficient , welcoming and clean . Emily's assistant Lucy always responded quickly as far as scheduling my appointment or any questions I had about the process. Emily was top notch. She was very kind, knowledgable and extremely talented. She made me feel so comfortable and I have to say my experience was pain free. I love my sunflower tattoo in honor of my first rescue cat Sunny . Thanks Gypsy Tattoo!:) read more

This review is a couple years overdue but feels important to share anyways. Gypsy tattoo is clean and inviting - the atmosphere feels unintimidating. I found Robbie through the internet, and from his bio and our conversations, he was experienced in tattooing over scars. We emailed for some time discussing a large floral piece as a scar cover up. I provided many images and descriptions of the style I was seeking - as it was a very important process for me. When I arrived, he was a bit unprepared with images (only had a couple rough sketches) but I decided to trust him moving forward. Robbie was patient in creating many stencils and placed them many times. While initially he seemed like a suitable artist, I was painfully disappointed when the final product was nothing like I hoped for. The line work the first day was okay, but the shading/details was not what I asked for. Further, during the healing process (I am familiar with tattoo care) the ink began to bleed out. It actually disappeared in many areas, and remained blotchy in others. I had never seen anything like that - and my current artist said it was due to inexperience. I have spent thousands of dollars since fixing and covering up the tattoo. Due to my own ignorance and vulnerability, I rushed into a tattoo with someone who wasn't skilled or prepared for what I wanted. I would go to Robbie for a small or simple tattoo - however proceed with caution with complex pieces. read more

I am unable to intelligently put into words how amazingly awesome my experience with Michelle was. She quite possibly may be the kindest person I have ever had the privilege to encounter. Not only did she work with...and I do mean WITH...me to create my first tattoo, but she did it in a way which showed she took as much ownership in the process as I did. She wanted it to be perfect. This was my first tattoo ever, and Michelle and her co-workers absolutely made me feel comfortable and at home. I would recommend to anyone her skills, care and service. BRAVO!!! read more

So I don't actually have a tattoo, but when my fiancé went in for a cover-up I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle and her staff. First off, this is not your typical tattoo parlor-it's feels more like an art studio, which it is. I have never seen such detailed work by such talented people. You don't go here for a shitty tattoo, you go here to get a work of art. I've never wanted a tattoo; but after seeing Michelle's work, I need one. You're paying for quality and certainly won't receive anything that you'll ever regret. Try to find a better artist-I dare you. And if you claim you have, you're probably lying. Also, her employees are really fun to drink with--after work, of course. read more

I had been looking all summer for a place to get my tattoo done where I felt confident that they would be able to do the design that I wanted well. After looking through their work posted online and here I decided that they looked good and scheduled an appointment to get my tattoo done. They worked with me on the size and placement of the tattoo and when I was having the tattoo done Robbie worked with amazing speed to get a big tattoo done in a relatively short period of time. It turned out great and I will definitely be returning for future tattoos and to add on to my current one. read more

Gypsy Tattoo Parlor - Both pieces were done by Robbie. He takes your idea's and not only matches your expectations but rises above. - Tattoo Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My go-to for tattoos in Pittsburgh. The most warm and welcoming space, with artists who exude the same energy. I most often work with Michelle (who has a great talent for fine lines and small details) but everyone here has their own specialty- meaning there's likely an artist here who can execute the tattoo you've had in mind. They will make sure you have a great experience as well as a great tattoo. read more

I had my first tattoo done by Michelle just over two weeks ago. As soon as I emailed her she was enthusiastic about taking my tattoo on and finding a date that I could come in. She never made me feel like the small design I wanted was below her or not worth her time. My tattoo was VERY personal and emotional, and had to be perfect as it was my grandfather's writing and I - along with my family - would know if there was anything off about it, and even my grandmother says it is spot on. I can't say enough about how she made me comfortable when I was terrified, and spent time finding the perfect placement and size. I could not be happier with the result and have recommended her to anyone who has been thinking of getting one. read more

Gypsy Tattoo Parlor - Perfection in copying very special handwriting by Michelle. - Tattoo Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I spent a lot of time researching tattoo parlors in Pittsburgh and could not have been happier with my choice to come to here. I went for my first tattoo, so I was very nervous and intimidated. I ended up booking with Laura Lee and she was so friendly, comforting, and answered all of my questions. Most importantly, my tattoo turned out absolutely perfect and was exactly what I wanted. If I could give her and this shop a sixth star I would! read more

I had a great experience at this shop this past week. I was looking for a very specific, but small/simple piece that was a phrase in my mom's handwriting. Gypsy was very communicative with me- which is impressive given the current state of businesses. When I went it, it was just Emily and I in the shop. She was extremely patient while we worked on space and placement- especially considering I was texting friends for their opinions since you can't currently bring guests to your appointment. I definitely plan to go back! read more

Great place with great people! The artist I went to was sweet and very talented. I am a tattoo collector, so I'm constantly trying new places! read more

This place is special. It's rare to go somewhere that just oozes professionalism, effort, kindness and above all- talent. It's even rarer from a tattoo shop. I contacted Michelle from her shop's reviews online, Facebook site and also after checking out her portfolio. Her style was perfect for what I was thinking. Due to me living outside of Pittsburgh, she sent me a design that she happily modified down to the tiniest details I wanted changed. Michelle welcomed me commenting and allowing the design to be modified which is so important yet not as common in the tattoo world as you'd think. When the day arrived, I continued to be impressed with Michelle and her shop. She was fastidious with the placement of the outline which made me feel 100% confident she was going to do an amazing job. She has such a warm, caring and fantastic personality- it's a joy to spend time with her. While we chatted and she tattooed- she would check in every once in awhile to see how I was doing with the pain, etc. The only the outline is finished (we're doing shading soon) but I already have gotten so many compliments and they don't even realize how amazing the experience was as well! No wonder people have bachelorette or birthday parties there! I can't recommend Michelle enough to someone thinking about getting a tattoo. She'll make the design truly a collaboration and execute your idea onto your skin perfectly. read more

10 stars! This place was the nicest, most positive space I have ever been in! I am so used to tattoo shops with rude people and negative attitudes but everyone at gypsy tattoo parlour is so nice and positive!! And on top of that they do awesome work! This was the most amazing experience i have had getting tattooed! I wish I lived in Pittsburgh because i would only ever go to gypsy tattoo parlour for my tattoos! Also I got tattooed by Britnee who was so fun and so talented!! read more

I love LOVE this tattoo parlor. I've been to two other tattoo parlors and I wasn't super pleased with the service I was getting or the care I felt my design needed so I went searching for a new parlor. I am so glad I found Michelle. She created a lovely Orchid design with text for my thigh and worked with me like no one else ever had to create the perfect tattoo for me. She's so positive and upbeat and the parlor is light and fun. Out of all my tattoos the one I got here is my favorite and I am confidant in saying I want all the rest of my tattoos done here. She really cares about the customer and her art. read more

With all of the stellar reviews both online and personal I see and hear about this place it is most disheartening to have had a negative experience. Initially I was impressed. The people that work here were most friendly and welcoming upon my consultation. However the person I was working with dropped communication and stood me up for an appointment. I feel that everyone has the right to cancel but it's common courtesy to notify your scheduled appointments before they arrive. Surely we are entitled to make mistakes, however this experience has left me feeling under valued for my time and money. I came to this shop for a new and improved tattoo experience. I left with my first experience of a no call no show artist and ended up back to square one on my search for new and improved experience. read more

They quoted me $120 (minimum!) For 4 small words on the inside of my wrist. LOL. A complete joke. I'm really not a frugal person especially for this, but My friends full shoulder piece cost that. I found another place, perfectly nice and clean for $50. read more

What a lovely place. When my best friend decided we should get inked together when she was coming for a visit, I scoured the interwebs for good reviews. Since I am still relatively new to pgh, I had to rely on my internet reviewers for a recommendation. I landed on Gypsy for their impressive artist portfolios, raving reviews, and advertised lgbtq friendliness. I called the studio and had an experience I have never had with a tattoo studio: extreme warmth and friendliness. The person I spoke with was beyond kind and accommodating and treated me with the utmost respect. I emailed as well and received the same warmth. THIS is the energy of a place I want to get permanent ink on my body. The staff made arrangements for me and my friend to come in on a Sunday when they were closed since Molly was already planning on being there. Molly was a true professional. She listened and gave great advice and was hilarious! She accommodated our needs (including letting us choose our tattoo music) and made the entire experience pleasant. I love her drawing style too :) As my ink was healing it was less vibrant than what I was hoping for, so I went back to Gypsy to get advice. They explained that my tattoo received too much moisture while healing which caused my issue. They do FREE touch ups and happened have a few spare minutes to fix me up on the spot! I loved meeting the rest of the staff and had another lovely experience. Trust Gypsy Tattoo for your inky needs. Can't beat it. read more

fantastic staff. If you are thinking about getting a tattoo in Pittsburgh, I highly recommend gypsy tattoo parlor. Was pointed in the direction by a friend (always a good sign) and couldn't be happier. The artist care about their work and worked hard to create an environment that made everybody feel comfortable in. read more

No one is perfect but Molly and Robbie have been amazing so far. Robbie worked hard to design complimentary tattoos for my bf and myself. He has taken input about what we wanted and put it into a design. I can't wait to get the tattoos finished. The place is clean and the atmosphere is friendly. The artists are very concerned about making your idea come to life in your tattoo and they do a good job. If I ever get any more tattoos, I'd definitely go back here. read more

I researched multiple tattoo artists in the 'burgh and settled on Gypsy because Michelle seemed to specialize in intricate lace work based on her pictures. She did not disappoint! I like to "research" my artist because I feel it is important to feel a connection with them....they are after all.....right up in your business and inflicting pain on you. Its an intimate few hours. The placement of a very intricate lace garter was drawn from pictures and placed perfectly. I silently sang along to my fav music as Michelle worked quickly. My early session was great since no one else but us were in the shop. It healed perfectly. The 2nd session went equally as well, albeit more painful on the back of my leg. Michelle is a great artist who truly cares about her work and also wants to have that connection to the piece. If you are looking for someone to do blood, guts, and skulls....Michelle is not your person. But if you are looking for a genuine connection with a wonderful soul that will immerse herself in a beautiful piece, you've come to the right place with Michelle. read more
