Located in Philadelphia, this studio offers a wide range of tattoo styles, from watercolor to realism, and has a team of talented artists who are passionate about their craft.

Extra great experience at this shop from being greeted to getting tattooed by Sean Costello to talking with the other artists. Sean does awesome work. If this is my last then I saved the best for last. Recommend this shop 1000%.

Worked with Evan for a tattoo. He did a wonderful job putting what I had in my head onto paper. Very talented, respectful, and had a lot of fun.
The studio itself was very clean.
10/10 would recommend.

Everyone at Central Tattoo are welcoming and down to Earth. From the office manager Jelly to owner/artist Pete to Pete's wife Melissa, everyone makes you feel comfortable and valued. This was my first tattoo, and I felt supported the whole way through. You won't get a proof of what you are getting until the night before, but you will just have to trust Pete. His artwork speaks for itself. The studio is classy, beautiful, and clean. Highly recommend!

Sean Costello did a large piece for me from my left elbow down to my wrist and I am so happy with it! After spending a lot of time on Instagram seeing which local artists did religious pieces I found Sean who responded so quickly to set up a consultation. I gave him a bunch of photos and how I envisioned the piece to look. What he came up with was incredible and exactly what I initially pictured. Tattoo turned out awesome. I have a little more to go and appreciated him asking to have one last session as he thought I had room for another piece opposed to additional fillers. He did not have to do that as I was okay with fillers the rest of the way.
Highly recommend! He’s immensely talented.

I had a fantastic experience here. Long story short, I wanted a tattoo for my dog who recently passed. After many conversations with other shops, and a terrible tattoo experience with another artist, I finally found Cody and we had a long conversation about what I wanted. When the appointment day finally came around, I absolutely loved what he had drawn for me - it made me tear up so I knew it was special. I had a couple small tweaks I wanted him to make, and he obliged willingly - he definitely wanted to give me exactly what I wanted. He was so friendly, the entire experience was great from start to finish. I'm incredibly happy with my tattoo and to be honest, I've never had a tattoo heal so well EVER. Virtually no soreness, no redness, I don't really know the reason for it but I'm happy about it!

Everyone in the shop is super friendly. My brother has gone back three times and always talks about how great the experience is there. He even drives out from Maine just to get work done by Frank. If I ever wanted a tattoo, I'd go here too.
