Crimson Lotus Collective

I have been working on my western themed sleeve with Shervin there for a while and I have nothing but great things to say about Shervin as well as the studio. Everyone is welcoming the artists are excited to work with you and hear your ideas. They will be honest and upfront about all aspects of the process. They are VERY professional and take their jobs serously. I would reccomend them to anyone whether you want a big piece or small! They are great and I always look forward to getting more work done from them! And not to mention they do amazing work!

I had a great experience here! I’ve been tattooed by Mike before and he always does an excellent job. Everyone in the shop was friendly and helpful. Things are clean and organized! I would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo shop!

Just finished my 2 year sleeve project with Ed. I couldnt be more happy with his artwork and the shop is very clean and professional. Its a bitter sweet end to my many sleeve appointments with Ed.

Everyone at the shop was super personable and friendly. Ed helped me out as a walk in and we had a great conversation, tattoo session and was priced very fairly. I will absolutely be back.

First tattoo experience. Was intimidated but everything from the design planning and the procedure was awesome. The tattoo is gorgeous and the experience fantastic. Shervin was great

This shop is awesome. Eddie and Shervin rule and are very talented. Eddie has done my last probably 30-40 tattoos and has never disappointed me once. I’m so stoked for them having their own shop now. The vibes are immaculate in there. It’s always a good time and I feel very comfortable which is super important when working on your art with someone. Highly recommend 10/10

I booked with Mike Szymarek to get an eagle on my thigh. The whole process was very professional, clean & laid back vibes! Mike is an amazing artist, down to earth & so easy to communicate with. Very knowledgable! & he is honest when it comes to the best tattoo placement, colors & style which is very respectable. The shop vibe in general is great!- Very clean, the aesthetic is relaxing & everyone was welcoming. Highly recommend this shop to anyone & would definitely be a perfect shop for someone that is new to the tattoo world. My tattoo healed up so so great & will be definitely be back for more work!

Amazing place, artists are friendly and amazing at what they do. Finished a old tattoo of mine and touched up the rest, making it look amazingStarted my other sleeve and it is better than I ever could imagineGoing here for all my tattoos from now on and would recommend them to everyone

Eds been doing my work over the last year. 4 different tattoos in total so far. Not one word of complaint about the quality of the work done or or of the people there.

I am truly appreciative of this shop and what Shervin has done for me! He has helped my vision come to light and is extremely helpful. The overall shop is so welcoming! Dispute having clients, everyone always includes you into conversations and offer assistance when needed. I am thankful and always happy to return back to this shop 🫶🏼

Great please in Castle Shannon, friendly and super comfortable environment. Ed was my artist and he was amazing. He talks to you. He talks you through the art creation that he had an amazing time.!

About three weeks after I got a tattoo I show up to get a second tattoo I had scheduled. I was treated very poorly and told that I was permanently banned because I allegedly got the artist sick.On the day of the first tattoo I disclosed to the artist (Ed) that I had caught a respiratory virus and had isolated for 10 days prior to the appointment, but that I had tested negative for COVID multiple times and that I felt better. They did not seem worried and proceeded with the tattoo.I feel as though when I showed up for the second appointment, his reaction was vindictive and the entire demeanor was that I was a liar and I was solely to blame for him getting ill at somepoint after my appointment. I believe that the artist changed their policy and opinion about what transpired that day retroactively. They refused to take any responsibility for continuing the tattoo that day.I followed CDC guidelines, I did disclose everything on that day and was honest. I feel as though in the end, I was being punished for disclosing information that day. He just assumed I flat out lied to him about when I had gotten sick and wouldnt allow me to try to defend myself (which doesnt make sense, if I wanted to lie why even mention ever getting sick at all??).I believe he specifically didnt cancel the second tattoo ahead of time so that I could drive out there and that he could berate me and make me feel low.I actually have multiple tattos by this artist, Ed, and now, every time I look at them, all I can think about is how vindictive he was and how horribly I was treated.

Such a great place! I personally see Ed and am always blown away by his skills and artwork. My tattoos always turn out even better than whatever idea I came in with. Everybody in the shop is so nice and it’s such a comfortable environment.

Shervin is amazing. I have followed him from each of his studios! The studio is spacious and clean.

Ed was awesome. Easy conversation and offered great advice on placement. Everyone in the shop was super easygoing and friendly to talk to. The shop is super clean and comfortable. Will absolutely go back!

I started my art work with Shervin while he was at Human canvas, , and this place is 10x better! Great atmosphere and awsome Artist. Love my work so far!

Shervin has been my artist for my last 3 tattoos, but they are all amazing. Great friendly clean establishment,highly recommended

Awesome new shop in the South Hills. I’ve been going to Shervin for years and highly recommend him as well as the rest of the artists in the shop. Great people and even better artists.
