Kyklops Tattoo

I was offended and will never do business with these people. It all started off when my beautiful wife, beautiful 5 month old daughter and I decided to take a stroll on a sunny day in the South Side. My wife wanted to see if it was possible for her to get a cover up or a fix on a tattoo that she recieved years ago so we figured what better place is there to found out than E. Carson St. We stopped in a couple places; got some opinions,got some ideas and made Kyklops our last stop before heading home. As soon as we walked in and asked for an artist to look at my wifes tattoo; the young woman told us that there studio is on the second floor and children are not welcomed. Apparently this young woman never had proper training growing up and should not treat people like this. Because of her ignorance we decided to go with Travis at (Rogue Tattoo) in Laweranceville. I'm also going to get my first tattoo and combined we will be paying close to $1500. I hope the owners of Kyklops read this and change the way there staff greets new clients.

I love my tattoo's from Pete and my jewelry/piercings from Daria. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful when I go in and I'm getting my next tattoo at Kyklops in 2 weeks.

Very friendly atmosphere, I got a wonderful tattoo that reflects amazing memories I've made here in Pittsburgh. All staff members were super fun to work with.

Absolutely in love with the tattoo I have. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! Clean shop, nice people, chill place. Going back soon for another one.

Had my first couple tattoos done in a trailer, deffinately better than that horrid accident! The dudes in there are super super great funny and nice. Ask for Joe Thompson, he's great. TOLD YOU I'D POST THIS JOE! :p

Big mistake.. This man is puting what he wants on peoples bodies without asking them first, I've read other reviews to back my incident with him up.
Okay I've gone to Kyklopes for almost all of my tattoo. I've gone and only trusted Erin to do my work. That said, she wasn't in one day when I needed to stop in and get a very small correction/coverup done and made the HUGE mistake of allowing Richie Stutler to make this SMALL coverup.

That said, he created a very small add on and assured me the colors he was going to use were all the exact same. (Considering it takes time for colors to settle and match new work).

This is where the nightmare begins... As he was beginning to finish up I looked down at my foot and said "why is that add on mini flowers completely diffident in color then then the rest of the mini flowers?" He proceeds to say "oh those are the EXACT SAME colors as the original work shades don't worry. If in a couple weeks it doesn't settle and all match come back and let's talk."

That shouldn't been enough of a red flag no NOT go back to him, but my kind heart did anyway..

Well it gets worse. I go back and it's months later, clearly to colors hadn't matched at ALL and we discussed now changing the rest of the mini flowers to now match his darker flower he mistakenly added so they can all finally match. So he ruined all of my original work that the 100,000 x better artist Erin did for me. So I'm noticing he's pulling out this EVEN DARKER brown that looks almost RED?! I said to him, there are only lavenders, yellows and grays that Red or whatever you're calling it is TOO DARK! He says ohhh nooo, this is the exact same shade I used last time on you ! He also said all the same stuff of last times incident that it'll lighten up and this is the only color he could have used period. Now his sweet low voice box seems innocent, but his many incidents he's crossed people the wrong way doesn't make him sweet nor innocent because he's a liar and the tattoo devil. I looked down again after he completed his second time around fixing skills and noticed there were RED circles around each flower and they now were all ruined. He sits there with this dumb look on his face like he's confused to why I'm upset and doesn't say he's sorry that the colors are wrong, he added shading that he doesn't ask the client first if it's ok to do...this crazy man just does what he wants as if it's his own body and not permanently on someone else's. I asked him why he didn't ask about the circles and he said they were also there previously. This man literally just makes stuff up and lies. I even showed him a picture I took after his first mistake last time and said "where do you see red circles at on here?" He says nothing and says can he cover it up with bandage now! I'm like you do what you want on people all the time and think it's ok? Shading of his choice and doesn't care what he messes up on someone ! This guy is going to mess with the wrong person one day and no wonder why he only takes walk-ins.... I seriously think he has something wrong with him because his behaviors and actions just aren't normal or okay. This shop won't get rid of him because they use him for all the unwanted jobs of the business and problem a family member of someone's.

I also had an appt that day with Erin for a whole other new tattoo plan and I was so discouraged and distraught that even the manager mentioned to me that Erin didn't feel like doing new tattoo was going to happen today to come back another day because she heard me upset and "nicely defending myself about Richies incident" I was calm and to the point with this man and I guess because they all side with one another, the client/customer was wrong !!!!!!!

To everyone out there. I've since went home and read reviews, and this is all of Richies habits that he does to many other people and I'm astonished and sick over this. Beware of him guys!

I have had both piercings and tattoos here. They are clean and the designs and quality are awesome.

As long as I am close to Pittsburgh I will go here. I got three amazing tattoos here so far. Love the artists work here so much I am planning on taking my niece here for her first tattoo (with her mother there).

Loved it there! Very professional and thoughtful on helping me with my tat, Justin did my tattoo, he was great! I recommend him!!

I went in for a navel piercing. The piercer and assistant were very thorough and accommodating. It was reasonably priced and the shop is cute af.
