inkadinkadoo tattoo studio

I have been coming here since July to work on a half sleeve with a cover up and it is the best tattoo shop I have ever been to!!! Chance is such a good artist and the rest of the guys (Dan, Rich, and Tony) are so inviting and respectful to everyone that walks in the door. I have spent countless hours here and I cant say enough about this shop. I had this armband from the 90s that I was told by countless other shops that it couldnt be covered but they did it here and I cant be more happy with every experience here. My boyfriend also has gotten a awesome Bob Ross portrait done and it is beyond amazing! I would recommend anyone to check them out, my cousin has an upcoming appointment that she is driving a couple hours away just to come here. This picture is just some of the half sleeve. Thanks Chance for making my idea into great artwork that I will admire forever!!!

I am 65 years old and got my first tattoo today. Chance Girald was the Artist and he was amazing. I couldn’t be happier 🩷

Came on with my sister to get sister tattoos with her regular tatt guy Chance!He did amazing and went above and beyond even stayed till after 1AM when they closed at 8PM just to fit us in 😍 definitely had a good experience 🙂 Thank you Chance!!

Chance just covered a deep dark name on my forearm.Beautiful work. Detailed. Professional, skilled & took his time. He knew exactly what would work and what wouldnt.The neighborhood shop is super clean. Plenty of free parking on side streets. Artists are all meticulous and professional, care about their work. Plenty of awards displayed.Im so happy with my tat.For an all male artist studio, bathroom really clean. (Oops, I think I let the seat down. Sorry 😐)Thanks, Chance.

Easily five out of five star! Started going in 11th grade! Theyve done 95% of my tattoos. Stand up guys no doubt! Very understanding! With my work I had to cancel several times. Always treated me with respect!

Chance was fantastic! He immediately put me at ease and made my piercing a great experience!

I got my septum pierced here and Chance was the GOAT. Not only was he super helpful in walking me through my first piercing but he made sure to be super clear about aftercare - something a lot of piercers seem to forget! I also loved his energy the whole time and the piercing has been equally as great to me in the 5 months Ive had it. I wont go anywhere else!

Jacob is incredible I’m so happy with all of the work he has done on me and all of the artists are fun and welcoming

Had to review because it was a great experience! The artists were so nice and welcoming! The experience was unmatched. Go see Rich!

Jake did a fantastic job on a memorial piece for me. Although hes only an apprentice he does top notch work! I highly recommend him or any of the guys at inkadinkadoo!!

Chance was the best!! Differently recommend him. He educated and paid really good attention to detail work! I love my tat! ( feather was old and ugly but he brought it back to life. Also the tat has Adhesive over it so it may look dry but it’s beautiful.)

I’ve been here twice and both were awesome! Daniel is super sweet and super talented! TJ is also great. My sister got a piercing and the guy who did hers, Stein was so sweet and made her feel super comfortable as she was a little nervous. All the guys in this place are so friendly and do their best to create a great experience. I’ll definitely return for a third time! Thanks guys!

I got two nostril piercings from Stein the other day. He was very nice and was thorough in making sure I got what i wanted. He showed me all the options for jewelry, and explained pros and cons of them which was very helpful with my decision. He also took his time to ensure the piercings were symmetrical, which i very much appreciate. Not everyone would take as much care as he did to make sure it looked as even as possible. He also made sure i understood the proper cleaning procedures. Over all i could tell Stein cared about what he was doing and it made my experience stress free. Hes also really nice to talk and had a good vibe.The guy they had helping in the shop was also really chill to be around. I unfortunately forgot his name, but he did a great job and was fun to be around.

They are awesome. Tomy did amazing job on my first large tattoo and am getting ready to go back to add more. Very clean and amazing artists. Colors are still beautiful 2+ years later

Sara Eve is my go-to tattoo artist. She does excellent work every time. I tell her my idea and she uses her awesome artist skill to create amazing tattoos. She does great work with the color palette of the pieces as well. I will continue to go to her for all of my tattoos.The shop itself is really great too. Its super clean and has a great atmosphere to it. Friendly, fun people work there and they are all great at what they do. I recommend this shop to everyone thats looking for a top-notch tattoo parlor.

With out a doubt the best shop I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been tattooed in a lot of shops around the Pittsburgh area. From the time I first I stepped foot inside the shop they made me feel at home. Tony, Rich and Dan are great and and they’ll treat you like a family member. The atmosphere and vibes are unmatched. If you’re looking to add some ink or if it’s your first tattoo I highly recommend the guys there. They also have piercing for all your piercing needs.

I’ve been here twice for small and delicate tattoos- both dan and chance are welcoming, open-minded, and considerate artists. they take their time with you and won’t tattoo you unless they believe it will look great. my girlfriend and i walked in while my sister and i did an appointment- both times they were accepting and made sure we had a comfortable experience. tattoo shops can be intimidating for women but these guys are great :) i recommend this place to all my friends

I took my daughter here on her 16th birthday to get her lip pierced. When we came in the door we were immediately greeted by one of the nicest guys. He asked us if we needed anything, and checked on us every 5 minutes while we waited. We only waited about 15 minutes and then Stein, the piercer, took us back. He was so nice, and funny! He completely put my daughter at ease. We will 100% be back!

Ive had a few tattoos done here and I love this place. I started a sleeve here (the artist left) and had an piece done by Rich. I love both of these and I cant wait to go back. The artists really get along and treat their clients really well, not to mention the quality is amazing. As a heads up- if you want a tat by Tony or Rich, plan to schedule in advance, theyre in high demand.

Absolutely amazing and talented artists!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I am in LOVE with ALL the artwork that Ive got done by them. 😍 I REFUSE to go anywhere else. If you know youre worth, go HERE. I promise you will leave MORE THAN just satisfied!!! Variety of artists/styles. I have NEVER been so pleased, went for a cover up and have been back for 4 more sessions thus far. I just cant get enough of their talent. Love you guys 😘🥰

Dan was great! Very personable and nice! Even though my mom and I had previous tattoos, this man went over EVERYTHING with us from placement, to size, to after care. Very sterile, clean, and careful. I can’t wait to go back!

Went to get a nose piercing and the piercer/ tattoo artist was very kind! He also told us some facts I didnt even know about keeping care of my piercings which were very helpful! Definitely going back!

SCOTT was my artist and he was amazing!!!! I went for a memorial tattoo for my father who had recently passed. I told him what I was thinking about and a little about my dad, and when I showed up for my appointment he had drawn a custom tattoo that captured my father perfectly! He did outstanding work and was very nice and great to talk to while working on my tattoo. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I will not only be going back for more from Scott, I have already and will continue to recommend him to others looking for an outstanding custom tattoo!!

Sara Eve has done two of my most recent tattoos and also did my partners very first real tattoo... her work SUPER AWESOME, I highly recommend her! I have quite a few tattoos and quality-wise my tattoos from her have held up the best, plus they are so beautiful (:Not only do my tattoos look great, but Sara Eve is super sweet and friendly! Definitely going to keep giving her money to put art on me forever :D

I got my first tattoo there and chance did it. He’s absolutely so talented one year later and I got 3 about to be 4 more from him. Also all the tattoo artists there are very talented you couldn’t chose a wrong person to get your tattoo done. All them guys are funny and down to earth.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. Very clean . very friendly staff. Chance did my daughter and my Tattoos. Amazing job !!!great price also ! We will definitely return. If you need a tattoo go here!

I loved it here! Stein was very nice and patient (I couldn’t pick jewelry, he was very kind about it) Asked me how I was at several points during the process and was just generally a great person!! Definitely will be back, love my new nose piercing!!!

These guys are fantastic and know what there doing. Will definitely be back for more tattoos.

I’ve went here for piercings by Stein and tattoos by Scott. They both do amazing work!It was a Good experience, professional, and made me comfortable. Planning to go back soon! Definitely Recommend!

Dan made my first tattoo experience smooth and did an amazing job! everyone there is very welcoming and makes you feel at ease.Place is also very sanitary. (:

Talented artists, each with their own style. Great vibe in the studio.... These guys are awesome! Cooper did all 5 of my tattoos, and I am always thrilled with the results!

I got my tattoo here a while ago. Ive had many tattoos before, in other places, but never found somewhere I really liked. It being a more open floor took me off guard. I was used to sectioned off places, or different rooms for different artists. But the second my artist started tatooing me, all of my worries disappeared. He was great and worked hard to make sure my tattoo looked good. He even fixed up a small botched job on my pinky. It has been almost a year and the color is still vibrant. The line work is great, and the small extra detail that he recommended was spot on .

GREAT EXPERIENCE! I couldnt ask for any better. My tattoo is absolutely FLAWLESS! The shop is very clean, the guys seem very nice, fun, and easy to talk to, but still very professional. They have somebody for any idea you have. Theyll set you up with the best person for the job, they can do it all. My guy was Jason Yauger. He made my lifelong dream come true. He took the time to make sure I was totally satisfied, did and redid my stencil several times to make sure my tattoo was PERFECT, position, size, every aspect. His touch was so soft and gentle I barely felt it most of the time, even tickled a little. Then to top it all off he gave me his personal number and said to get a hold of him in a few weeks after it healed so he could check it, touch it up, whatevers necessary. AWESOME SERVICE! Cant wait to have him design my next tattoo. Would recommend Jason or any of the guys for anything, thay can handle it. Cant say enough.THANK YOU!Thanks again, Tami

I love this place! Very clean, welcoming environment and friendly staff! Amazing artists! It’s my go to place for tattoos and piercings!Just started a new Alice in Wonderland half sleeve with Tony and I Love it!I highly recommend this place!

I went there for my first tatoo. i love that they have so many people there that are specificly good at one thing. i saw off Richs work online that he is really good at animals. since i was getting a wolf tattoo, i went to him. he was great and the tattoo came out better than expected :)

A friend of mine recommended Tony and he is excellent. Really cares about his work and does a great job. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality of work. Well worth the wait. I have and will continue to recommend him.

The guys are all very nice. But I had a bad experience with one. He continually blew me off for 6 months after starting a cover up. He couldve said he didnt want to finish it but instead kept saying he would put me in the schedule but never did. He was an hour late and took an hour break. Then when I went back for him to finish, he was a no show. That was in January. Still never gave me a date to finish after he said he would. I would recommend the shop just not him. By the way I found someone willing to finsh it. Too bad Tony. I wouldve paid you well.

Sweet spot to get inked. People are very chill. They take their time and do not pressure you to stay put. They do awesome pieces. Rich likes to do geek tattoos, so if thats your thing, ask for him.

I have been getting tattooed by Scott at Inka Dinka Doo for over a year now. His work is truly amazing and i would highly recommend him to anyone. He is professional, extremely talented and will exceed above and beyond your expectations. I promise you will not be disappointed :)

Ive been going to InkaDinkaDoo for many years. The staff is always professional, friendly & inviting. The shop is pristine and kept very neat and tidy. The quality of tattooing is amazing. I recommend this place if you want top quality ink.

The most genuine people, quality work, and the shop is sooooo clean. Couldn’t ask for a better tattoo studio!!

I got a few tattoos from Scott and they are really good lookin tattoos. He really was paitent and cared about his work. He did it so smoothly it didnt even hurt. He is a very talented artist and we easily both came up with something i fell inlove with. everything was exxcellent bout my tattoos the color was great the shading was crazy good. He made them look lifelike realistic. I deffintly will be back for more and i highly recomended you ask for scott. i got a few other tattoosaround pittsburgh at shops and none of them compare to the one scott did for me thanks again-mikee-

Started a biomech sleeve yesterday w Rich. So far looks awesome! A couple more sessions and it will be complete. Very clean place and awesome atmosphere. Rich is an amazing artist!

I took my teenager to get a nose piercing. Stein was great with her. Hes very patient and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back.

I recently had a full color tree frog done by Scott. I am very pleased with the results and would refer him to anyone. I have been getting work done at Inka Dinka Doo for over 12 years and have also had work done by Tony. The shop is full of talented artists. You should check them out.

I got my first tattoo here with Jason, and it was the best experience I could have asked for. Every artist there is really talented, and everyones friendly; its a really good environment.

Chance is a fantastic artist! My cousin and I had matching tattoos done. Chance was personable, professional, and kind. I highly recommend!

Jessie did an amazing job on my finger tattoo. He talked to me a lot about aftercare and the risks of finger tattos, especially on the underside. I couldnt have asked for a better experience!

All the artists are friendly. Dan is awesome. He’s done two of my tattoos. He’s professional and easy to talk to. This is a great tattoo shop.

Inkadinkadoo did my first tattoo on my left shoulder when I was 18, I am 38 now and it is still amazing.... The ppl were very professional, walk in welcome and I didnt know what I wanted but he made a great drawing from my suggestions... I hope to get another from them... I tell everyone to go here. Thank you for a great tat. 😊

Always get a great tattoo and a great experience. Shop is full of talented artists. Rich Cosgrove always does my work and I highly recommend.

Ive been getting ink done by scott for a while now. he started at my chest and we are in the process off piecing everything together all over my torso. i have never been disappointed with any of his work.the shop is filled with talent as well. great artists and clean environment. highly recommend inka dinka doo

Rich is a great artist and person. Everyone there was just awesome

98 got my first tatt at inka when it was in oakland. 99 or 2000 my second by Jason still in oakland. Then tongue pierced in Lawrenceville. Another tatt in Lawrenceville. Have many other tatts. Not all from inka, but inka is always the best. Great crew, vibeFun and professional. The way a shop should be.

Great artists!!! My personal favorite is jason. If you go there for the first time, the camaraderie between the staff will make you feel at home.

Tony is the BEST!!!!!! I wouldnt go anywhere else. He does amazing work no matter what it is. All of the people there do great work and the shop is extremely clean!

My son got a tattoo here. Great staff, highly professional. Very concerned about tattoo care. Excellent artists!

Only place I will go for tattoos! Tony is an awesome guy and does awesome work! Shop is clean! And all the guys that work there are awesome!

I love Chance & Stein. Theyre personable AF and do a great job. They take pride in their art. 🤘🏿

No complaints, clean , comfortable ,unpretentious and fun tattoo shop !! Guys were genuinely concerned about quality tattoos and Dan was outstanding !

Definitely my favorite in Pittsburgh! CHANCE IS THE GUY.. BUT ALL ARE TALENTED

Wife got collarbone dermals an dude took his time asked for second an third approvals from other artist guys know there stuff an work is awesome!!!!

The piercer was nice but hard to understand really nice people and was super chill about me flinching during me getting my nose piercing

This is a shop full of terrible people with no moral values, who would rather follow cancel culture and slander a decent mans name. I would not recommend this tattoo shop for anything unless you do not care how people are treated

Absolutely incredible work by Greg. The man to go to if you want lettering done. Great environment and great people. Definitely going back asap.

Scheduled an appointment for my boyfriend to get a birthday tattoo with Scott, he did an excellent job and my bf absolutely loves it! Thank you!

This place does great tattoos, for a good price. Great quality would definitely recommend.

Theyve done a fantastic job on the tattoos of my boyfriend and best friend! They are also very affordable!

Great work. Awesome, friendly artists. Super clean. There is nothing you cant like about this place.

Great staff reasonable pricing great work!

Chance was awesome professional and his line work amazing… will be back for my next one

Friendly and professional, didnt make me feel weird about being the only woman in the shop. Zero percent intimidating and I love their work.

Some of the best work youll find in Pittsburgh. Incredibly welcoming and beyond talented staff

Made my friend hold herself up in a chair to get a belly button piercing... huh?

Love all the work I got done here! Especially Rich🩵

Great vibes and great artists. Pricing is fair and they have a great eye for detail.

I love this shop the environment is awesome and the Artists are very talented, tony is the best dude
