Best Tattoo Shops In Philadelphia

“Great experience - we’re from out of town but already talking about coming back to Philly to see these guys again. We went for Friday the 13th flash tattoos and we couldn’t be happier. The vibe in the shop is friendly, clean, and hydrated (thank you for the water.)I chose the ghost egg flash - we had just gotten done with brunch and it was calling to me. Benny was as excited as I was to do my egg, and who better to do an egg tattoo than a man named Benny? I am so happy with how it turned out & where we put it. I really appreciated the help deciding on placement. Originally we had agreed on yellow yolk, then he showed me a red and a blue. I wasn’t sure how he was going to use them, but he was confident & excited about it, I trusted him & didn’t ask about his plans. I could feel that it was going to be better than what I could picture. And it was. I can’t imagine my egg looking any other way.I have 3 other tattoos, so I don’t do this often. I really appreciated that he checked in with me throughout the session to make sure I was comfortable.About halfway through the session, I asked Benny if it ever felt weird to him that this was something that would be with me forever and I’d never forget but for him it’s just kind of something he was doing before his lunch break. He gave a really great answer - I’m very much paraphrasing here: he said that he doesn’t think too much about that because it can feel like a lot, but instead focuses on the amount of trust people are putting in him & taking that trust to heart. I trusted him immediately when he said he would be doing my egg, and I think that is in part because he does take that trust so seriously.Hi Benny, if you’re reading this, thank you very much. Egg person to egg person, I am so happy that you were working yesterday and that you did my tattoo.Hi everyone else, if you’re looking for a new artist, consider checking out @bennybeyertattoosMy friends had equally great experiences with their flash artists Ben Red and Casey. They were raving about the color work the next day, the amount of fun they had chatting in the chair, and I could hear their laughter all over the studio.Special shout out to Mac and her dog Penny. Neither of them worked in us but they definitely attributed to the great vibes we felt the whole time we were in the shop. I didn’t end up taking a picture of Penny, so if you want to see a cute dog you’ll have to stop in for yourself!TLDR: If doctors had the bedside manner and ability to read your vibe that the team has here we would love the hospital and it would be easy. But they don’t, so come get a tattoo instead.“

“I really love the work of Eastern Pass. The art comes out as stunning. The environs are comfortable, affirming, and clean. The attention from the artists has been excellent. Highly recommend if you have a good sense of the theme and the spirit behind what you want to express, and are willing to lean into the artist creativity to actualize it in a beautiful and symbolic way“

“I came into the shop on a friend's recommendation. I'm an older guy and this was going to be my first tattoo. I had looked at a lot of websites and instagram pages of tattoo artists in Philly, but when I saw Jordan's I knew he was the right person. He did a beautiful interpretation of the image I brought to him, and exceeded my expectations. I felt I was in good hands throughout the process, well taken care of for this first experience.Services: Abstract tattoos“

“I would not go anywhere else. I took my oldest son there when he turned 16 to get his first tattoo and he went there to get more tattoos as he got older. My youngest son went and got his tattoos when he got a lil older also. Then went back for another. The people are very professional and so are the tattoos that they do. I DO plan on going back to get a third.Service: Tattoos“
