Okay so here is my review on central tattoo. I was in search of a really good black and grey artist realism artist and after searching google etc I cam across this place. After looking at a few artist I decided on going with Sean to inquire about a dove on my back shoulder. The process was pretty simple after the consultation we locked in a date and went from there. Now upon arrival I was greeted by the receptionist and proceeded to fill out the necessary forms before the session. Then Sean showed me the stencil that he drew and I couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome. After that it was time for the actual session and honestly this was the easiest and non painful tattoo I have. Maybe it was due to the placement or Sean’s technique but the entire session was easy we did take a few breaks. But the total tattoo time was a breeze, as for the atmosphere it’s very chill and laid back a place that is gonna be my forever home when it comes to getting elite level of service and quality tattoos.

Got my first tattoo done by Evan here and he was amazing. I had so many ideas in my head about my tattoo and was able to put my ideas on paper and come up with something beautiful. He was extremely friendly and helpful, plus he has a very light hand when tattooing. Communication from the booking the appointment to finalizing the design was super easy and reliable.The studio itself was super clean and inviting. Everyone was so kind. 100% would recommend and will getting another tattoo here again! The whole experience was great it made me catch the tattoo bug for more tats haha!

I’ve had my eye on this tattoo shop for years before I finally decided I wanted to get one. Pete is the owner and specializes in watercolor/vintage designs. I am in love with all of his work and incredibly happy with the piece he did for me. Pete is such a down-to-earth person who puts you at ease with his calming energy. Even though I didn’t interact much with the other artists, I could tell it was an exceptional group of individuals. Wonderful experience at this phenomenal high-end tattoo studio.
Thank you, Pete, for my beautiful tattoo☺️

I am so happy with my experience here. The space is open, clean, fun art on the walls, good vibes all around. It was my first time getting a tattoo and they made me feel so comfortable — very kind folks here. Communication, from booking to discussing ideas, was smooth. Tea Fish did my piece and it is absolutely perfect. She paid such close attention to detail, did beautiful work, and I couldn’t be happier!

I got my first tattoo here by Evan and it was a great experience. He helped turn my ideas into a beautiful piece and allowed little adjustments the day of the appointment. He's also just super nice. I'll definitely be going back when I decide on my second tattoo!

Studio and people there are wonderful when you're at the studio. Very clean and professional in person. Communication, however, is horrible. Appointment had to be postponed and I wasn't notified until an hour before via email, not even a call. Getting in touch with the artist between sessions was pretty much impossible. If communication is a big things for you, I do not advise this shop.

gives the vibe of a fine art studio, all of the artists have really incredible portfolios, got 2 pieces here done by Cody (on my way to get a third one) and they were all great. Highly recommend, great spot and across the street from a good parking lot in a shopping complex which is really convenient.

I had my very first tattoo done by Pete Zebley. Absolutely beautiful and well done tattoo. The tattoo studio was clean comfortable. I smile every time I see it in the mirror.

My mother in law and I got tattooed by Evan yesterday. We were more than impressed. The hospitality while there and the care he took in taking care of us goes a long way. If you’re in Philly or stopping by and want some art, this is the place.
Would recommend and will go back.

I have been to Central Tattoo 3 times over the past 8 months. Specifically to book with Rowan Starr. She did my first tattoo, my second and now my third! She is incredibly talented, professional and engaging. The shop is very clean and all the artists are friendly and encouraging of one another. I truly enjoy my time with Rowan and she always makes sure I am comfortable. Check her out now!
