Sara Eve Rivera won my skin for life. She is the most creative, easiest-going, most relatable tattoo artist in my experience. She is thoughtful and caring and she aims to make your entire experience working with her enjoyable. I reccommend her to everyone who is ever interested in my tattoos and also jam her instagram, @saraevetattoo into their ear drums. She’s pleasantly sweet and also tends to your every need. Sara is very talented at covering up tattoos as well and displays a gorgeous shop window, full of cute little succulents and other plants.

She's a super star! Her shop is beautiful and relaxing as well! I am definitely going back for my next tattoo! Read Less

I've been tattooed by Sara Eve five times. Her work is amazing. She works with you to make sure it's exactly what you want, and takes the time to make sure it looks amazing. She's done two coverups for me, and both of them, you can't even see where the old one was at. She's a puzzle genius! I had been turned away by two other tattoo artists regarding my back coverup, but Sara loves a good challenge and accepted. I'll always return! Read Less

Detailed. Creative. And Talented. I had the pleasure of getting tattooed last year by sara. An amazing experience. She is extremely busy, so ensure to tell her what day and time YOU are available. She extremely talented!!! Read Less

I could not have picked a better shop to get my first tattoo. Sara Eve is very passionate about her art and it really shows. She took my vision and created an amazing piece for me, keeping all of my ideas while putting her own style and creativity to it. The shop is clean and professional and she makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. She was very accommodating to my changes and gave some great input when I needed help. I recommend PMA to anyone looking for a friendly, professional artist, especially first timers. Thank you for everything PMA Tattoo! Read Less

I heard of PMA Tattoo through my friend who recommended I go there for my next tattoo. So glad I did! The owner, Sara, was responsive and did exactly what I had in my head. She also has a huge heart and participated in a fundraising tattoo drive of sorts for a great cause and I got inked by her through that as well. The shop is also full of awesome art. You can't go wrong with this place! :) Read Less

I have been lucky to have amazing tattoo artists as friends and to be tattooed by them for many years. When I moved to Pittsburgh I was looking for some new work and searched out artists in the area. Sara Eve met with me at a convenient location for both of us and we discussed my ideas (several) and narrowed down which piece to start with, costs and scheduling. She gave me a time frame for the drawing she would do of the piece and stayed on schedule. I loved the first piece she did so much, I scheduled for more! She has now down several pieces on me and I am in love with her unique artistic perspective, her amazing color work and depth, and generally just her kind and professional demeanor. She is a true artist and a kind soul. I care about that. Highly recommend her and her shop without reservation. And can I also mention how many people stop me all the time and ask who did my work? Yep. I'm in Florida now and still handing out her business cards.Read Less

I first saw Sara's work a few years back at an art show in the Strip District and immediately fell in love with it! Recently, I was walking from work back to my apartment and I caught glimpse of a new tattoo shop opening up, and it just happened to be Sara's shop, PMA tattoo! I had been wanting to get a tattoo for a while, but I'm a big scaredy-cat. Finally, I messaged PMA Tattoo and got a prompt response and a date and time to meet Sara at the shop! The shop is beautiful, welcoming, and comfortable and Sara is easily one of the nicest people I've met! She answered all of my questions, was upfront about her shop policies, and was extremely courteous and easy to talk to. I just had my tattoo finished today and it's beautiful! She was clean, focused, and didn't mind that I had to shake it out a couple of times. I would recommend PMA Tattoo a million times over! Read Less

I have had nothing but great experiences with PMA Tattoo and Sara Eve. She is the most attentive & friendly tattoo artist I have ever met. Both tattoos she has done for me were no easy feat. The first one a huge back cover up that took extensive hand drawing to make work with the existing design and the second, a really important, but small piece on my wrist that was incredibly meaningful to me and required a bit of rework to make it perfect and exactly the way I wanted it. -- She is SO professional, VERY sanitary and overall, just a great experience and fantastic artist. I HIGHLY recommend custom art and tattoos from Sara! Read Less

Sara is amazing.  She truly has an amazing gift for tattooing.  I have wanted to get a tattoo covered up for almost 2 years, and finally decided to pull the trigger.  Sara was so thorough and did a fantastic job getting into my head during my consultation.  I was blown away at her drawing of my tattoo.  And I thought they drawing was awesome but the tattoo is the most beautiful thing!  It looks like real flower and that is from her dedication to her craft.  Also her shop is SO clean and refreshing.  Its bright and has a fantastic energy.  Thank you Sara! I will be a lifelong customer for sure! Read Less

Sara is AMAZING!!!  She is so easy and great to work with. She can take your ideas and thoughts and turn them into amazing artwork! I found her a few years ago on Instragam, and followed Sara from a previous shop, to her very own shop. I cannot say enough great things about PMA Tattoo!! The shop is clean, cozy, comforting and super easy to get to! Sara is super flexible, and wants you to walk away happy!I have three Sara Eve originals, and three other tattoos she's helped save and bring back to life. She is a tattoo wizard (and a total sweetheart) -  I never want to work with another tattoo artist! Read Less

Sara did an amazing job. Her work is incredible and her attitude makes the experience so comfortable and fun. I never felt judged or unsure. She didn't rush going through my consultation, and asked about every detail. She scheduled an extra hour before my tattoo to refine the design, and pick colors. She gives the same amount of care and respect to small tattoos as she does to huge tattoos. When I wasn't sure about the color I wanted, she took the time after outlining my tattoo in black and then painted in the part I wasn't sure about so I could get an idea of how it would look. She was extremely helpful in tattoo aftercare and went into great detail about everything. I really appreciate her policies are clear and outlined. It's hard to find tattoo shops that are so professional. She gives a free touch-up within a year of the tattoo, which I will definitely take advantage of. I can't wait to go back! Read Less

Where do I begin?Let's start with how I met Sara---I was new to Pittsburgh and walking home from work. She was working at a shop in Bloomfield at the time, I walked in (after walking into 3 other shops during my walk) and fell in love with all her work. I asked the guy working the counter if Sara had time to meet because her art work was blowing me away, I just wanted to say hi and put a name to the face. She was finishing up a tattoo at the time and let me just say....My very first impression was "holy sh*t. she's the most professional artist i've ever met" (at this time I already had 20 tattoos) she was telling her client how to care for his tattoo and said "I know you are covered but every artist is different and every part of your body heals differently, i just like to go over with my clients so there's no issues" and went on to explain how if he needed a touch up to just give her a call. I didn't have a chance to see his tattoo but I saw the grin on his face after he looked at it in the mirror and it was the SAME look someone has when they see their loved one at the end of the aisle, or the look a kid has when dumping out their Halloween bag,-- actually, his look was identical to the look people have when the waiter is bringing their food.She had some time to talk so she didn't have me make a consultation appt for the first tattoo she did. When I got to the shop for my appointment she took 10-15 min to talk with me about how the design needed something to make it "pop" we worked together and came up with a gorgeous tattoo. She tattooed my sternum that day and was such a cheerleader. She kept saying "You're doing great!" "You're holding so still!" "You're so strong." Little things that REALLY HELP when being tattooed. I mean, I have over 20 tattoos-- but the sternum hurts!! The pep talk but it really, really, really made me feel so much better! Now tattoo number 2...She has made my sleeve better than perfect. I went to another really talented artist while living in Oregon who did the top half of my sleeve. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find someone to finish my tattoo after my artist left Oregon. A year later I found myself living in Pittsburgh and after my first tattoo with Sara I KNEW she was the one. We did the outline while she was tattooing in Bloomfield. She did a great job with the outline. We made a second appointment for a few months later, got the color-- great! We made one more appointment to do my elbow/final touches. She contacted me in October to tell me she was going to open her own shop in Dormont and asked if I was still interested in having her finish my sleeve. OF COURSE I WAS!! I told her that her move was NO problem. I really appreciated the fact that she reached out to see if I would still be her client. I loved that. The first time I saw her shop my jaw dropped. It is beautiful. The outside is is teal blue, so it stands out and is very easy to find. The inside is so welcoming, her couch is comfortable and SO cute. Some of art on the walls are for sale, I bought myself a cute little seahorse in a shadowbox print that she made. Some of the art was made by her buddies so not everything is for sale but it's all great to look at!The tattooing area is a very large space that doesn't make you feel closed in. She also has a "room divider" to put up when tattooing shy folks who don't want to be seen by the people walking by because she has a large window by where you get tattooed. She also has her certificate in very clear view which I LOVE because I've gone to shops who look super legit/do GREAT work but don't have a certificate showing... just makes you feel uneasy so I love that Sara clearly displays hers. On New Years Eve she finished my sleeve, added the rest of color, shading, did my elbow. It was a great day. I had no idea I was going to be THIS happy with my arm. My mind is blown.Thank you Sara.I do plan to go to Sara the rest of the time I live in PA. I may from time to time to go someone else depending on that style of the tattoo but I cant' think of a style Sara hasn't mastered? She's the definition of a bad ass/hard worker. Thank you Sara for being so welcoming and for helping me with my self esteem by tattooing me!!((for yelp users-- i will edit this and post photos of my sleeve SOON--it's still healing)) Read Less

Not only is Sara an outstanding artist, she has also successfully managed to create a comfortable, safe, and open-minded shop to get tattooed in. After not being tattooed for over 5 years, you forget how painful it can be. With Sara, my three hour session flew by as I had a smile on my face nearly the entire time. She is a genuinely caring, kind, and understanding person. I'm entirely thrilled that I can write an honest and gushing review about PMA. Sara has truly created a calm and friendly space where the experience of receiving a tattoo is not only permanent on your skin but permanent in your memories (total sap). Read Less
