If you are looking for a clean environment with knowledgeable individuals for any piercing Coyote is definitely the person to go to! I have gone to him twice now and will not go anywhere else for piercings. He is as detail oriented as they come and he knows his stuff when it comes to piercing! Definitely worth it! Read Less

Fantastic experience! Very professional and everything was explained before the piercing. Never in a million years would I think that a nose piercing would help me like the appearance of my nose! Would highly recommend getting work done here. Read Less

Just wanted to give a shout out to my man Coyote Black for making my first piercing so much fun! He’s very easy to talk with and made me feel very reassured. This place is so nice with beautiful high end custom jewelry options for every wallet. My piercing went very well with no pain! I am very impressed with Mantas Tattoo and can’t wait to visit their new bigger location soon. Karen 55 yrs old and loving my new Daith! Read Less

I came to Mantis with two botched piercings done elsewhere. I had two cartilage piercings done in November and a few weeks went by and I had those dreaded bumps. I emailed Coyote Black to set up an appointment to have him look at the piercings and more than likely swap out the jewelry. He answered almost INSTANTLY. Major brownie points. Coyote and his apprentice Nova were so patient and understanding as they answered all of my questions and took the time to thoroughly explain what my issue was. Not only did we change my jewelry, we did a complete overhaul of my existing piercings. He anodized titanium to match, showed me how the anodizing process worked, and both Coyote and Nova thoroughly explained the aftercare process. Coyote even pierced my daith for me, which I didn't come in to do but he made me feel so excited about my ears. Now they look so put together and are beautiful, basically like art. He's the Picasso of the piercing world, really. He's got credentials for days and is so knowledgeable. Every time I turned around, he was cleaning and making sure everything was sterile. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, which was important since I was by myself. I put complete trust and faith in Coyote Black and was not let down. He and Mantis Tattoo & Piercing are everything you need to look for in a piercer and shop. I won't be going anywhere else. Read Less

Today I decided to go to Mantis to get my septum pierced. Their piercer, Coyote, was beyond exceptional! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Very friendly environment. He made sure that I knew what to expect and literally drew everything out for me & made sure I was comfortable with the process before proceeding. He even made sure that he pierced my nose correctly for my extremely deviated septum. Everything was made sure to be clean and sterilized. Absolutely recommend Mantis for anyone looking to get piercings and definitely going back for any future ones! Read Less

Had my daith pierced by Coyote Black last night and could not have asked for a better experience. He ordered a gorgeous custom piece for me, talked me through every step, and was extremely professional. I will be coming back here for all future piercings. Read Less

I was a walk in to make an appointment and they offered to take me right away. Though that didn't work for me they promptly made an appointment for me. Very professional and am looking forward to my day. Read Less

Awesome!!! Competes for best in Pittsburgh area to me not only for artistry by Karlis, Mel, and Jim but also coyote black is an awesome piercing professional. Me and my wife have been to a few shops around the area but after going here we won't go anywhere else, they make you very comfortable and it's very calm and relaxed in the shop not like other shops where you feel outta place. Everyone is very personable and nice. Can't wait for my next appointment!! Read Less

So glad I found this shop! Coyote Black did two of my piercings! Amazing piercer, very professional, knowledgeable & really easy going. He definitely helps calm down your nerves and talks you through everything. He also only carries the best quality jewelry possible. I will 100% only go back here to get my piercings done from him. I highly recommend! Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about Mantis. I live on the opposite side of the state, and would rather make the 3 hour drive to see Mel than have anyone local tattoo me. In the 10 years I've been visiting Mantis, she has done several original pieces as well as fixing old terrible ones done by other people. She is a delightful person and the gentlest tattoo artist around. It's been wonderful seeing the shop grow and add more talented people! Honestly, this place is the highlight of Jeannette. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, every time I visit for new ink I have a great time. The shop is clean and bright and filled with unique artwork and talented artists. Also, Coyote the piercing man is pretty great - he really REALLY knows his stuff and can hook you up with really cool custom jewelry. Karlis and Mel are really awesome, and run the best damn shop ever. Read Less

Got 2 bad piercings from another shop and went to Mantis to have it redone after I pulled out the infected piercing and let it heal. Coyote was knowledgeable, polite and best of all did a great job!!! Wish I had gone there first. The business itself was impeccably clean and everyone there was nice and personable. You shouldn't go anywhere else. A few weeks later I went back and had Mel do a memorial tattoo for me. (I was a tattoo virgin and never thought I'd ever actually get one.) She did a great job and now I think I'm hooked as I'm already thinking of ways to add to it. First class shop. Read Less

I love Mantis, I doubt I'll get tattooed anywhere else again. Very clean, professional, warm and friendly but, most importantly, very talented.They really listen to you and patiently work with you to give you the best tattoo which meets your needs/expectations. They don't intimidate or ignore clients but will give you honest advice in a courteous way and work to find a solution you'll be happy with. I always go to Melanie. She does great portraits and gorgeous flowers. Her use of color is outstanding. She has a light touch and her work always heals well and beautifully. I've seen Karlis work firsthand. He's fast and also amazing with his use of color. Both are perfectionists who will work to make sure you have the best tattoo for what you want. The price is more than fair, the only downside is the long wait, you will have that with any good artist. It's worth the wait to make sure your permanent art is as good as it can be. Read Less

I've never had a tattoo done here, but this is where I got my nose pierced. It was a very clean place and the piercer was very professional and talkative. He did a very good job on my piercing (never hurt, never got infected, etc). I would definitely return! Read Less

I got my first tattoo here last week. It was just a simple set of Roman Numerals on my back, pretty small too. My guy was awesome though. He totally reassured me the whole time and the whole thing took maybe 15 minutes and didn't hurt one bit! I'm addicted now! Read Less
