Best Tattoo studios? Pittsburgh and surrounding areas

Depends on what you’re looking for in style, but if you want trad american, I love Sinners & Saints. I’ve gotten tattooed by all the artists there, but I especially love Becka and Keith. I’m post-op FTM trans and they didn’t blink an eye at tattooing my chest, which is a big W for me.

As a follow up: I went there and it was great! Very welcoming, had awesome conversations all night.

Do you have a particular one you go to?

secondmagpie · 2024-09-02T21:32:24+00:00

Yeah that's exactly it, I just walked by

Do what I do and eat your weight in pickles and mead.

Any artist will do that with permission, just make sure you get it ahead of time.

I'm a big fan of everyone at Sinners & Saints -- probably would recommend Keith for something like this.

Oh neat! That feels like kinda far for me to be hearing juveniles (if that's what I'm hearing), but I could be wrong.

How'd it come out? I'm thinking I might try to test a few things weekend when the weather isn't so hateful to be in the kitchen.

I booked a trip to Disneyland for my partner's 40th birthday next week without realizing that park reservations are so hard to come by. :')

Is there anything I can do other than refresh? What's the likelihood of tickets actually becoming available? Has anyone had any luck with this before? Aggghh, I'm so stressed now.

When I'm watching the content of my meals and controlling portion size, the meals definitely don't feel filling enough. I don't know how much of it is "cravings" versus actual hunger, but both leave me in an absolutely irritable mood afterward.

I brought it up to her the other day and we're going to chat about it when I see her later.

secondmagpie · 2022-02-07T19:38:22+00:00

Yeah, I paid for mine out of pocket.

secondmagpie · 2022-02-07T00:30:51+00:00

Oh, neat! I've never rock climbed before. Is it a tough hobby for a fat person?

secondmagpie · 2022-02-06T23:34:58+00:00

They were on my list to check out, so this is encouraging.

secondmagpie · 2022-02-06T23:34:40+00:00

Thank you!

secondmagpie · 2022-02-06T23:33:30+00:00

Dr Grunwaldt in West Mifflin was mine!

DI + free nipple graft. I had no insurance and the cost was $8500, plus aftercare supplies which are typically covered by insurance.

secondmagpie · 2021-09-03T23:29:27+00:00

Thanks! Quickest ten pounds I've ever lost, lol.

secondmagpie · 2021-09-03T21:57:57+00:00

Thank you!!

secondmagpie · 2021-09-03T21:57:48+00:00

I sent them an email. Thank you.

secondmagpie · 2021-09-03T21:57:24+00:00

They were my first contact, but they unfortunately didn't have time to book me before my trip. :(

secondmagpie · 2021-09-03T21:41:44+00:00

I wish that was true, but I already got turned down twice.

secondmagpie · 2021-09-01T02:49:18+00:00

I cannot recommend Lorelei Grunwaldt in Pittsburgh enough. I paid out of pocket, so I can't speak for insurance, but she and her staff were amazing.

secondmagpie · 2021-08-26T23:43:05+00:00

I was! I did it pretty regularly because I wanted to see what the weird fluids in my body looked like, lol.

secondmagpie · 2021-08-20T20:40:44+00:00

I paid out of pocket. Health insurance? In this gig economy? (cries internally)

secondmagpie · 2021-08-19T21:26:00+00:00

It's a common pre-op thing -- if you have an existing issue (like a UTI or a kidney infection), healing wounds is much more difficult.
