Reposting from Google because I don't think my other review is warning enough people about the…read morepiercer's incompetence here: Went in for a double helix piercing on the recommendation of a coworker who'd had nipples done and loved her experience. Wish I could say the same for mine. I didn't realize until I went home and was shopping for replacement jewelry how much was wrong with my new piercings. First issue: he pierced my helix at 20G (no discussion prior, and they "don't stock jewelry" so I had no choice in the matter) and EVERYTHING you will find online says it should be 16 - 18 at minimum - to prevent tearing/cheese cutter/rejection in such a sensitive area. Secondly, he applied butterfly backs to close them!! They're a huge infection risk and don't allow enough room for post-piercing swelling. By day 3 I was in agony, the backing was fully pushing against my skin and it was ANGRY. I went to another piercer to have the jewelry swapped out for what it should have been in the first place - 18G titanium threadless. Thirdly, he recommends soap and water with q-tips to clean, when the standard recommendation is sterile saline. Antibacterial soap is too harsh on freshly pierced skin and apparently leads to more irritation. The other piercer told me Tom used to have a great reputation in the area, but that lately they've been getting more and more people coming to get his mistakes fixed at their shop. I would firmly NOT recommend getting pierced here. Now that the swelling has gone down, it's easy to see how HORRIBLY PLACED these piercings are - they're pointing fully under the curve of the ear! I don't even know if I'll be able to put hoops in these without them hitting the ridge instead. If only there were a license for piercers - Tom should lose his if there was! Added on months later: Since the healing process is several months along now and there isn't any more swelling on my ear, it's very easy to see just how badly pierced this helix was. One piercing completely rejected. The one I'm left with faces at a downward angle, and is completely hidden by the curve of the cartilage when viewed from a normal profile angle. It's unusable, and has to be taken out. I was never contacted by the shop OR the piercer following this review to offer to repierce or refund or ANYTHING: they clearly just don't give a shit about the quality of work they put out there in the world. What a waste of my time and pain and attention in keeping it cared for.

Bridge City is right off Liberty Ave and if you can't find street parking I'd say to save yourself the stress and go for the Smithfield St. garage. Now that parking is out of the way, you can relax and prepare for a fun and enjoyable experience regardless of the body art you've set out for. You can tell that the team at Bridge City genuinely wants you to have a great visit in all the small details they've put into their shop. Liss (pierceropossum on Insta) is the piercer and she has the best curated sets of jewelry! The combos are endless. She also does buy one get one free deals on piercings on Tuesdays. My most recent visit was to see Moth (discomothink on Insta) for a couple tattoos on the smaller side. Moth takes their work seriously and is meticulous with their designs and stenciling. I've never been anything less than obsessed with my work from Moth, plus their company is a joy! Bridge City Body Art is a great addition to the piercing and tattoo scene of Pittsburgh. It's an inclusive space where everyone is welcome, the music is 10/10, and the people that own it and work there are fantastic. I will definitely be back within the coming weeks, and I've already recommended it to so many folks. Right now it's important to note that Bridge City is by appointment only, so check their website and social media for booking details!

I got 6 tats sized 1 1/2 inches and they were reasonably priced. I got lucky charm symbols inspired by the cereal, and Moth had a good suggestion with how to space them. I'm very happy I went with her recommendation. The whole shop has a super cool chill vibe. The other tattooer and piercer there had some fun professional banter while I was getting tattooed. They also have a nice size bathroom that was very clean. I only mention it because while most tattoo shops I've been to have been very clean, they have not been as spacious. It was nice not using what felt like a broom closet. Also, Idk what air freshener or popuri was in there but it smelt awesome.

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
