Everyone at Central Tattoo are welcoming and down to Earth. From the office manager Jelly to owner/artist Pete to Petes wife Melissa, everyone makes you feel comfortable and valued. This was my first tattoo, and I felt supported the whole way through. You wont 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!

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. Im incredibly happy with my tattoo and to be honest, Ive never had a tattoo heal so well EVER. Virtually no soreness, no redness, I dont really know the reason for it but Im happy about it!

Highly recommend checking out this place. All of the artists have amazing portfolios to review and are truly talented. Frank is always easy to work with and does a great job. The shop is clean, professional, and everyone helpful.

Great place highly recommended. I worked with Rowan who was super nice and patient who came up with a great design. She explained the process and what I should expect. The Place is clean and spacious and very welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Very talented artists! They are quick to respond to your questions and connect you with the best tattooist. Very clean and modern environment. Everyone is nice and very helpful. I had a great experience and will be back for more! I highly recommend this place for your tattoo needs and desires!

5 stars based off of the website alone. It was very detailed and simple yet classy looking. I love that it shows the artist and their work right away without having to click on anything. Im looking for flower and butterfly tatoos and i found it! Hope their customer service matches the website

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.

Cool space super clean and I love my tattoo! Thank you!

Its a house with a big open room basically. Everything is clean and everyone is professional and very talented. This is not a walk in type shop. More of a you will need to schedule an appointment type and well worth the wait if you get one. I was lucky enough to squeeze in a week after talking to the artist and they are all artist. If I had to give them a con. It would be that there is no parking. But thats Philadelphia for you! I have gone here twice and not afraid to go again.

Frank is DA BEST and everyone I chatted with was friendly and the shop was sparkly clean! Great art on the walls too from local artists.

Very clean, professional atmosphere, super talented artists and unique art work

This place is incredible. Staff and artist are all wonderful to chat with and they take their art very seriously. This is the only place I wanna get my tattoos for now on.

Would highly recommend Cody Dean Swieder! His work is great and has done most of my tattoos in PA.

Pete is truly impressive. I have been tattooed by Pete a few times in the last year. His ability to transform your thoughts into art is special and unique. Pete pays attention to detail and brings his own interpretation to images. His work is simply beautiful. In addition, Melissa is so responsive and easy to work with when setting up appointments etc. The overall shop is clean and professional. Central Tattoo is an overall experience.

I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Pete after admiring his work on the web. This was my first tattoo and I didnt give him a lot to work with, just the basic idea and colors....and he created a watercolor piece more beautiful than I could ever have hoped for. I cant wait for the next appointment to see what more magic Pete can do.The studio itself is a cool concept.....the first floor is an art gallery and the tattoo parlor is on the second floor. The place is light, crisp and very neat and clean.Overall, I dont think I can say enough positive things about my experience or the tattoo from Pete. Its worth the wait to see him!

Not a client yet but from the look of thier work online their skills are untouchable.

The shop was nice, and Cody Dean was a pleasure to work with. My tattoo is beautiful and I’d go there for more!

I recently got a design and tattoo done by Murrt. He is very patient and understanding in the whole process. This was my first “large” tattoo and I was generally very nervous but I put my whole trust in him.Let me tell you.. Murrt is a super talented artist! He did 2 design revisions for me in a matter or hours. The whole tattoo session itself wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Currently it’s been a week and the tattoo is healing wonderfully.My friends and coworkers love the design. Will definitely go back to him for another tattoo!

Got an opportunity of having an abstract watercolor design by Pete in Berlin tattoo convention. Pete is a true genius of abstract design! He captured and expressed my ideas about the tattoo so accurately. I totally recommend him to the people that are thinking about abstract designs.

One of the best places in Philly to get an amazing tattoo! Love this place. Great work, great staff and awesome atmosphere. And they have the cutest dog there!

Melissa was the worst,she was hard to communicate with and turned down every idea I had,even when I agreed to let artist design piece at their own free will she still said her artist are not intrested dont know if shes racist or just making too much money that she forgot how to run a business. Wonder if her artist even know she is turning away customers,tatto artist look great but unfortunately I will never know.

These guys do it right. If you want quality work, then come here. The shop itself is super clean, the artists are amazing, and their process for paperwork is super modern and efficient.

I got my first tattoo here. They were very helpful with answering all my questions. Cody was wonderful. He listened to what I wanted and I could not have been happier with my tattoo.

An excellent experience from start to finish. The staff is friendly and helpful and answered allnof my questions. Codys design was on point with what I had asked for. His work is stunning!

Great studio, beautiful art, artists are serious about their work.

Awesome tattoos! Very friendly, honest and immaculate studio.

If your looking for that unique tattoo a fresh perspective outside of the norm, visit central tattoo. You will not be disappointed.

Highly satisfied after getting my first tattoo here. Murrt is very talented and he executed my idea perfectly.

Came here to see my friends art show. I checked out their artists and examples.. Incredible work.

Super clean studio, friendly staff, talented tattoo artist!

I love this place! I just had two tattoos done by Cody and I can’t wait to go back for more!
