How
Want to get tattooed by Hannah, Jessi, Chad, Scott, or one of our guest artists? We'd love to hear from you! Below you should find all the information you need, including shop policies and the request form. Please be patient while we get back to you, as we occasionally get large volumes of requests and this can impact our response time - but we will get back to you - promise.
For Your Information
WALK-IN and RETAIL CUSTOMERS - Our retail vintage shop is open every Saturday from noon til 6pm for your shopping fun, and we’re posting a variety of smaller vintage items to our Etsy shop (@CuriosityShopPgh) fairly regularly. We typically tattoo by appointment only, so simply request an appointment via this online form and we’d be thrilled to see you in the studio.
When submitting a tattoo project request, please specify which artist you'd like to work with, and describe in as much detail as you can what you're hoping to do. Let us know where you want to put your new artwork, whether it's a cover-up piece, and any other details you think would help us to get a clearer idea of what you want. You can also feel free to include links or URLs to any specific images you might like. Please know that we do receive quite a few requests and we may not be able to reply to you immediately. However, we will respond to your request as soon as possible! No scheduling by phone call, please.
Hannah's rate is currently $225/hr with a 3 hour session minimum, Jessi's rate is $175/hr, Ann’s and Chad’s are $150/hr. Rates for guest artists vary per artist - ask for details when requesting your appointment.
TO BOOK WITH JESSI CRAMER: Jessi books her appointments independently - for more information, please go to her website here!
You must be 18 with ID to be tattooed at Curiosity Shop. Sorry, no exceptions.
All tattoo appointments require a non-refundable deposit which will be credited towards your tattoo session. Sorry, but all no-shows or cancellations within a 72-hour period will forfeit their deposit.
We respectfully ask that you not bring groups of guests with you to your appointment without prior arrangement - and please, no children. We want this experience to be focused completely on you and your new artwork! We'd be happy to make suggestions for activities in the area for those clients bringing their families - Pittsburgh offers a lot to explore, and we know you'll all have a great time.
Uber and Lyft are both plentiful and there is limited bus service available throughout the city area. .
Also, bicycle rental is available only a few blocks from the shop, with over 500 bikes at 50 stations throughout the city of Pittsburgh. Why not have an adventure while you're here?
Be sure to check our interactive map (located also on the Where page) for suggestions on accommodations, dining, bars and activities for yourself or anyone else who might be traveling with you.
Have any other questions? Please feel free to email us HERE - however, be aware that due to the high volume of mail we receive, you may not receive an immediate reply - we ask that you please be patient, and thanks.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
