What locals say about Philadelphia tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Philadelphia.
“I scheduled my appointment with Fabian to get a giraffe. My experience was a 10/10 from planning the piece all the way to execution! Fabian took his time explaining the process, preparing me for how long it would take, was super accommodating during the session, and literally WOWed me with the finished product. I am IN LOVE with this piece and I highly recommend you book your tarot with Fabian. HE ROCKS 🤘🏼”
“James at 187 ink tatoo is a really good tatoo artist. He has great customer service, very professional, and is passionate about his art. He was aware of making sure my wife and myself were comfortable and made sure we had whatever we needed( even went and got me soda and a snack).The only problem is that he doesn't live in Oregon because I would definitely get more tattoos from him.”
“If you are looking to get a piercing for the first time then this is your place! Aaliyah made the experience very friendly and it felt as if I was getting pierced by someone I knew yk? She walked me through the process and made sure I was ready. Honestly will be returning to get more piercings as I enjoyed the people in there, decorations, vibe, and the Tuesday piercing special. Definitely a go-to if you wanna save $$$ and not feel pressured or confused about what is going on. I got a nose piercing, and a conch) :)”
