Who
Curiosity Shop was founded in 2013 to create a comfortable, fun, and unique creative environment for tattooing, art creation, and to house our collection of art, vintage and antique pieces, and ephemera. Tattoo veterans Hannah Aitchison and Scott White wanted a place to call home, and where their clients could feel safe, comfortable and inspired by the offbeat and fantastic art and antiquities that Scott and Hannah have collected over the years.
We’re incredibly lucky to have wonderful, creative clients and friends, so we enjoy presenting gallery openings, special appearances and events featuring internationally-known visual artists, performers and personalities. We’re also proud to host a wide range of exceptional guest artists from around the world, giving our clients the chance to add something extra special to their collections.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
HANNAH AITCHISON
A globally-recognized, multi-award-winning artist, Hannah has lived and worked in Chicago, Los Angeles, London, and now Pittsburgh. Her background includes 27 years of tattooing adventures, and a style that embraces both classical and modern day illustration, inspired by her background in commercial and graphic arts.
Her career has given her many wonderful opportunities to represent the tattoo trade in TV, radio and print, including many seasons on the successful shows "LA Ink" and "Best Ink".
Hannah loves to incorporate a variety of visual influences into her highly colorful work. She also loves knitting, dogs, things that go fast, travel, all things vintage, etymology and lawn darts.

JESSI CRAMER
Roller-derby knitting goddess, mum and tattoo dynamo Jessi Cramer specializes in elegant, beautifully rendered fine line blackwork. Bring her your most challenging fine line concept and she's guaranteed to kill it, with a big smile and a hot mug of black coffee at her side.
One of Pittsburgh’s favorite and most sought-after tattooers, Jessi can visualize virtually anything you can throw her way using exquisite lines, dots, or a combo of the two. She’s happy to share stories about skating, cooking, parenting kids and cats, and her many adventures in geological exploration.
