In the Blood Tattoos & Rock

In the Blood Tattoo is a standout in the sea of shops on East Carson Street. The tattooers here, Justun, CC, and Max are extremely professional and talented.

The shop's vibe is super cool, I love the mix of antiques and flash on the walls in the waiting area. The waiting area is large and comfortable. They provide drinks in a cooler and snacks for guests! That's awesome because sometimes I forget to eat before I get tattooed (don't be like me).

Justun, the owner, has an awesome station full of antiques, rock n roll, and motorcycle stuff - it's like a mini museum, so there's a lot to look at while you're getting tattooed!

Max gave me a memorial tattoo for my best friend and was gentle, meticulous, clean and professional. I wouldn't trust anyone else with such a sentimental tattoo.

I highly recommend In the Blood to anyone looking to get tattooed in a comfortable, laid back environment in the South Side!

Being that this was both our first time getting a tattoo, we were nervous. But, as soon as Justun started to talk to us, he was very genuine, and kind to explain the whole process to us in detail. He took the time to design exactly what we wanted. Justun and his staff were really nice and they kept the place very clean. Everything was clean and fresh and sanitized. We were comforted by that! My husband and I are really happy with our tattoos, they are just what we wanted! Thank you!

I got two tattoos done here, and I will certainly be coming back for my next ones. Max was extremely professional, talented, and made the process easy. He designed a piece for me that I’ve been wanting for years and was unsure about the execution. It exceeded my hopes. I also emailed with Anastasia before coming in to see what pricing would be like and she was extremely detailed and helpful in her response. Couldn’t recommend this shop enough!

Experience was 10 stars from booking to the actual tattoo. Anastasia did a wonderful job with getting me in with my schedule. Justun took 3 ideas and made them one as a memorial for my brother… they listened as I shared memories of him and his artwork. The fact that so many of his favorite bands were repped in the memorabilia including Elvis, made it a perfect experience.

Justun created a perfect design to go with an existing tattoo. It turned out beautifully!!! The whole experience was great, 100% recommend!

Went in for a walk in and immediately noticed how clean the place was. I was in a chair within 30 mins. CC did mine and it turned out amazing, exactly what I wanted. She was also very helpful with distracting my mind from the pain lol! Thank you.

Super easy process. Max was very professional with recommendations on an artist for my piece. We went Mike who was awesome from the jump he listened to my concerns on sizing and placement and we came up with the perfect layout. I was inspired by my astrological sign and went with a reference picture I had found with Koi fish. Mike had a drawing already ready when I arrived and we got right to work after a few details on hidden elements within the piece and the expectations both of us had so that we were in the same page. I’m pretty picky so I appreciate his patience with my vision and loved the whole process. I can’t wait to find my next inspiration so I can go back to work with him again. Thank you In The Blood Tattoo Team you were all amazing!!!

I like it l, but it was a lot more than I expected especially since I had someone with me getting the same one and a half incher. Tattoo pricing Ij the so called red light district of Pittsburgh seems to surge, 225% guessed as presicely as possible when comparing cost and location of my other tattoos

I got my tattoo done by Justun and I could not be more impressed! He was super considerate with it being my first tattoo and made me feel really welcomed. His work is incredible. The shop itself was super clean and a welcoming environment! I highly recommend and will be going back here in the future.

I love working with Justun. I've had two different tattoos done at In The Blood and plan a few more. Talented, clean, professional, great conversation. Nothing but good things to say about Justun and In The Blood.
