Island Avenue Tattoo

An amazing group of talented artists in a shop covered with Pittsburgh and tattoo history. I’ve been going to Goose (Kyle) for my sleeve for nearly half a year. And he’s been fantastic every single time. Goose has really helped put my ideas into a cohesive vision, give guidance as I wasn’t sure what all I wanted, and he shows his deep knowledge and passion. Joe & Ben are also very welcoming & talented artists, and so awesome to chat with each time. Highly recommend this shop for anyone wanting quality traditional tattoos. This place has chill vibes, good chats, and sick tattoos that will last for life.

If you’re looking for an artist who does amazing traditional tattoos, Joe’s your guy. He’s tattooed me many times and always takes my ideas and makes them even better. I followed him from his old shop to his new spot on Island Ave because he’s that good. Super friendly, great conversation, and I love supporting his new shop. Can’t wait to go back for my next piece!

A very welcoming, professional, and affordable Pittsburgh shop! I worked with Ben on a simple memorial tattoo, and a matching design for myself and my 2 best friends. I also got a flash design from October and it’s one of my fave tattoos!
