Yesterday I decided it was time to get my nose pierced. After calling around to multiple shops, Pisst Fish was the only one who had availability. They are taking proper precautions (taking temperatures, wearing masks & gloves) during this weird time - but note they are only allowing their person getting pierced/ tattooed in the shop (no guests - other than parents obvy). I spoke with Kevin O. And he gave me all the info I needed, pierced my nose, and I was on my way all in about 15min. Everything seemed clean and I am happy with my piercing! Maybe one day we won't have to wear masks and I'll be able to show it off :) Thanks Kevin! read more

The tragus piercing was quick and relatively painless. A slight pinch from the clamps and a bit of pressure. My piercer, Kevin, was professional and explained the entire process. I love my piercing! read more

I have been getting tattooed by Chad since 2008 and I have known Kevin for around the same amount of time. 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. read more

They do not know how to talk to customers! They was extremely rude to me when I just asked a simple question

I was so nervous to get my first tattoo but the second I walked in and Becky greeted me I calmed down, they had kick ass music playing, the place was super clean.... tiara was incredible, she made me feel so comfortable, we laughed, sang, and took dance breaks... I'm amazed on how much I love my tattoo and I can't wait for another tattoo dance party! read more

Pisst Fish - goth bunny - Tattoo Near Me - West Springfield, Massachusetts

I had a double helix piercing that I got done in Southern California a year ago that needed to be taken out ASAP. I called the shop and Kevin was able to see me right away. It was only $10 to get both removed ($5 removed per piercing). Definitely worth it or I'd have to go to my doctor. Had no idea that my piercings were a weird pin type of jewelry, thought it was a screw back with a ball. Thank you so much Kevin for being super friendly and helping me out!!! I really appreciate you! read more

Becky and I left Pisst Fish! BUT you can find us and follow us wherever we go! (which will always be together) *@tattoosby_tiaralyssa *@piercingsbybecky read more

I never got any tattoo work done here, but the portfolio's of the artists here has always been impressive. The shop is professional and clean. Employees always courteous. I purchased 90% of my jewelry here. Excellent piercing staff. Was able to order exactly what I wanted. Oh and I watched an old biker get the top of his head tattooed here once. He was badass. read more

My experiences with Pisst Fish have always been nothing short of incredible. I got my first tattoo done here in 2008, and the guy who did it (not sure of his name) was excellent. He worked quickly, and the pain was very minimal. I'm still happy with the way it looks to this day. I have had over 30 piercings done here. All of them, with the exception of my most recent one, were done by Jenn. On top of having excellent bedside manner, she was clean, quick, and precise. My roommate and I stopped by for piercings last week, and I noticed that there was a new piercer (Becky). I was hesitant to try someone new, but her work looked good and her room was EXTREMELY clean, which is really important to me. Once again, I left happy. She was very quick, and really great to my friend and I. I had lost one of the balls from my industrial, and she happily replaced it at no additional charge. She also provided us with piercing aftercare products. I will be back very soon. read more

Ever since Becky left it's just not the same. Don't know about the tattoo person they currently have. But for piercings, I'd recommend Nuclear Crayon! read more

Couldn't be happier with the work done and time my artist spent making sure that I have gotten what I wanted. Shop is always clean, the artist take their job seriously, and make sure that you are comfortable and happy before, during, and after. I highly recommend you stop in and check them out! read more

I had the pleasure of choosing this place for my first tattoo. Chad the tattoo artist was professional, talented, and made quick/relatively painless work of my tattoo. The owner was very friendly and overall it was a very positive experience. I highly recommend you give them a chance if looking to get some ink done. read more

I have had every one of my tattoos done here ( two sleeves, both thighs, now my back) all by Chad. He was able to take some of my ideas and my likes and turn it into amazing art. I continuously get compliments on my tattoos. He's also always been very professional and accommodating including coming in early to work around my schedule. I will continue to come here to him in the future and look forward to continuing on my back. read more

Came here for my first nose piercing and came back and got my other side done! I love it there, fast and a very clean place! I love it.

Would give 0 stars if possible. They have no customer service skills. Told me I can reschedule twice before forfeiting the deposit and after my first reschedule told me I can't change again and that I was forfeiting my deposit. Also won't work with you AT ALL to get a design made before hand. Manager is an asshole and not the artist, yet insists on speaking on behalf of the artist meaning you do not have any actual interaction with the artist until the day of. I feel bad for the artist because I'm sure he does great work but the manager ruins it for everyone. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND GO ELSEWHERE. read more

I called this shop just as it opened and spoke with Kevin. I wanted my ears pierced and was told to come to the shop and he would pierce them for me. I arrived at the shop and Kevin had me sign the usual paperwork and then we went to the piercing room. The shop was clean, Kevin was super nice, the piercing went quick and with minimal discomfort. If your kids want their ears pierced, don't take them to the mall. Piercing guns are horrible! I highly recommend this shop! Thank you again for an amazing experience! read more

Really good energy, made me feel comfortable. Very quick and effective. Just overall amazing experience!! I would for sure recommend to anyone male or female. Great place great owner. read more

I went to pisst fish to get my belly button pierced based on the reviews i read on yelp as well as pictures i've seen on their instagram page and my experience was amazing the piercer becky is super nice and friendly she even helped me figure out what size nose ring i need to buy bc they didn't have it available there and wrote it down for me which was awesome of her because my memory sucks. She was super quick doing the piercing and made me feel comfortable. While i was there i also put down a deposit to come get my first tattoo done by chad. I was really scared not knowing what to expect and he asked me if it was my first and made me feel at ease by telling me we could stop at anytime to take a break if I needed. He made great conversation with my boyfriend and I which helped me relax even more. I was amazed with the finished product when he combined the two ideas of the pictures I had emailed him into a beautiful tattoo it was exactly what I had envisioned. I would recommend going to pisst fish to anyone looking to get a piercing and or a tattoo both of my experiences there were fantastic and I look forward to going back for more. read more

I wanted to get a piece done to celebrate starting my life over and Chad was amazing, everyone there was friendly knowledgeable and courteous, the place was clean and the work I had done turned out beautifully they really know their stuff! read more

Extremely clean and professional. Piercer Becky was friendly and made the whole experience comfortable!

I went here to get a tattoo and was given an amateur tattoo... so many mistakes. Lines missing, Font outside of the lines requiring more work I ended up getting charged extra for, coloring outside the lines. Went back to get it fixed, they said they fired the artist that did it and if I wanted it fixed, I had to pay for it because it wasn't their problem. Then I got attacked by the staff when I told them that wasn't fair! I had to subdue the artist that was there when he tried taking me out with a stool, and restrain him until the police arrived!! All the while the receptionist was jumping on my back and ripped my shirt and $300 necklace! Only go to Pisst Fish if you want the worst tattoo possible and are ready to defend yourself. This place is dangerous! The artist told me himself that he was not licensed! I hope everyone reads this and is aware of the dangers the face if they attempt to do business here. They are making me give this place a 1 STAR rating to post this when in reality they have earned about -1 STAR read more

I live in Western MA and went there after seeing one of the artists work on another lady. Great art, clean lines, great color saturation. I was stoked! UNTIL I got there and the artist wouldnt even talk to me unless I put down $100 deposit first. I mean, come on! How do I choose which artist would be the best fit for me if he wont even speak to me without cash upfront? I am looking to get a large, highly specific original tat done that not all artists can do cuz it is a soft commemorative portrait style. Not all artists can do potraits well. Needless to say Pisst Fish is just another bunch of douches who treat you like it should be YOUR honor that they are willing to tattoo you, not THEIR privilege that you chose to display forever on your body their artwork. UGH! read more

Got my first and as of now only tattoo and belly button piercing here. Great shop, great people.

Very unprofessional I called and asked a question followed with a recommendation and was called a dumb ass and hung up on . I called back and asked to speak with a manager and believe it or not the lady who was extremely rude was in fact the manager I asked to speak to her higher up and was told she didn't have one and hung up on again ! This is unacceptable behavior from a professional I would never recommend this place to anyone! read more

I have gone to pisst fish a few times before.. I got my bellybutton done and it healed beautifully. My friend got an amazing tattoo done there too ! So when I walked out of there with a huge, fucked up, crooked septum piercing that was pierced THROUGH MY CARTILAGE AND NOT MY SEPTUM, I was very disappointed. When trying to interact with the piercer on jewelry, he gave me no option and was frustrated when I asked for a smaller gauge. He ended up piercing me with a 14 saying it was "as small as he could go" but from doing research beforehand I knew that wasn't true. I ended up going to Lucky's in noho to get an evaluation, and found out he had pierced my septum completely wrong, crookedly and with lower quality jewelry, so it had to be pulled and be repierced correctly in a week or so. Will not be going back in the future. Please for the love of god don't get your septum done at this place. Go to Lucky's in noho where the piercers actually know what they're doing when it comes to septum piercings. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here. I had two tattoos done here, both done at the same time (fairly small and all black). They got 2 stars only because the QUALITY of the TATTOO. They would have gotten one otherwise. I am very happy with the tattoos themselves. BUT their business practices and professionalism are SERIOUSLY lacking. I have had several more tattoos since and will never go back there because they are a very shady business. I was WAY overcharged for what I got. I was told it would be basically 2 hours start to finish. I thought it was a little much for what I was getting, but OK, if that's their rate... So I paid like $300 for 2 black bear paws (size of quarters) and 1 black butterfly (a few inches). Literally drawn up in 20 minutes and 30 minutes of tattooing. AFTER waiting 45 minutes because the artist was tattooing his "friend" - during MY appointment time. Just really unprofessional. After hearing several more stories from friends, I felt I should post mine. read more

I have had one tattoo done and one "updated" here and wont go anywhere else. Great people and great artists. I brought my niece to get her first one when she turned 18. Never regretted it. read more
