Was just a walk-in for a first time tattoo and Ice 9 was amazing from start to finish. Fairly priced, clean studio, and Terrel was so helpful, accommodating, genuine, honest, and talented. Definitely would recommend!

I got a VCH piercing and Zack was amazing. Ladies don't let the big muscley, horn pierced, heavily tattooed man scare you, he is sweet as pie and made me feel so comfortable!! I actually went by myself (wouldn't recommend just as an overall guideline) but it was great. He was funny and friendly and explained everything he was about to do before he did it- including the sterilization process the jewelry goes through, which is great- if you're going to go anywhere for anything I now recommend Ice 9 Studio! I have a lot of tats and piercings so I'm particular who I go to and I'm elated I picked Zack at Ice 9. The whole staff is nice and the place is very clean and nicely set up. The piercing itself is $70, but he talked me into getting a blue gem for the top ball and I ended up paying $90. BUT I will say this- I have been to Southside Tattoo and they're usually expensive, this specific piercing would've been less than Ice 9 but even knowing that now I would still choose Ice 9 because Southside Tattoo is overpriced, not very nice staff, and is just not as awesome, even the building and ambiance is nice at Ice 9. I would pay for the same piercer I got for that amount every time before I go somewhere else. Found my new place for tats/piercings in Pittsburgh! <3
Thanks Zack!

Mihailo is the guy that does all of my art work when I go there, but everyone there is great. I've never left there disappointed. The best in the city. I only get my ink here and I don't even live in Pittsburgh anymore. Would rate 6 stars if I could.
