Jason Angst — who opened Artistan in 2011 with his wife, Meliora — has been drawing since birth (almost), and you've probably seen his finely rendered artwork on the bodies of your fellow Pittsburghers. Angst and the other resident tattoo artists represent a range of styles, but quality work and professionalism is the shop's hallmark.
