    Great place. My wife and I got small tattoos. John did them and we both will be back. It's definitely a no pressure kind of place that we enjoyed. We will both be back

    Cool disco ball in the tattoo shop

    I got my ears pierced here and would recommend it! There is a cool vibe and everyone is friendly. My ears are healing nicely and the ear piercer was friendly and funny. Making an appointment was easy, I called and my friends and I were able to go that day. The only reason I give it 4/5 stars is because it was kind of pricey, but perhaps I just don't know how much piercings cost these days. It was $140 for two lobe piercings, but overall good experience.

    I can't say enough about the amazing work done by John Howie. I was a walk-in on a Tuesday in the middle of the summer. Not only was I warmly welcomed into a clean and creative space, but I felt at ease in a place that some may feel anxious. John was so friendly and talented, I barely felt the needle as he worked to create the perfect size for me. He gave me several options, and in 30 minutes of incredible conversation it was over! He created something timeless and personal in no time at all. By following healing instructions exactly, I had a quickly healed piece of art I absolutely love. Thanks John!

    my tattoo turned out exactly how I was hoping it would. John did an amazing job! I wanted it as finely lined as possible and he listened to that. would definitely come back again

    I truly don't know if I can find words descriptive enough for this amazing shop and the amazing artists here, especially Anna. Every second I spent in contact with Anna and the shop was a positive experience. Anna listened to my idea, created an absolute masterpiece to suit my vision, and I came away with a tattoo that brought tears to my eyes, it was so perfect. The quality of the artistry here is not the only 5-star aspect-- so is the cleanliness, professionalism, and the prices are more than reasonable. I'm lucky to live close by, but I would travel far distances for this shop. I could not recommend this shop more.

    Honestly. Getting a tattoo with Justin Turkus at Frequency was the best tattoo experience that I've ever had (and it was my 11th tattoo overall). From the vibe of the shop, to the care and attention given to my design, to the amazing (like AMAZING) and meticulous work done by Justin while tattooing me--I cannot recommend this place enough. I drove 5 hours each way for to get tattooed by Justin and I'd do it again in a heartbeat (and hopefully will in the future!!). The other artists seemed extremely talented as well and everyone there made me feel comfortable and safe. 10/10. Definitely get your next tattoo here.

    Such a cute storefront

    This tattoo shop is a beautiful location filled with amazing artists! I got a tattoo about a month ago by Robert Kraiza and he was AMAZING- very professional, I love my tattoo, and he accommodated me into his schedule they day of. The shop is amazing and has such a great vibe. Any tattoo I get in philly from now on will be here- no matter the artist, they are all amazing! My friend is getting tattoo'd by John Howie today and he took her idea and gave her exactly what she wanted. They are all so talented!

    I had an idea for a small, albeit detailed design that John was able to synthesize into a beautifully piece.

    Floating World is great for tattoos! I live nearby and have walked in and scheduled appointments in…read moreadvance with specific artists. The space is clean and welcoming and the staff is very friendly and honest about expectations for specific tattoos (ex: finger tats!!!). The shop minimum is $120 and they are cash only. They have an ATM onsite and also accepted digital transfer like venmo and zelle to save on the fees. My most recent visit was about 2 weeks ago, when I walked in to have finger tattoos touched up. They were originally done out of the country and had started to fade a lot, with one almost disappearing. I walked in on a Sunday around the time that they opened and was able to go straight down. My artist did a great job in a short amount of time. I will definitely return to Floating World for future tattoos!

Even though we all have very different belly button shapes, he pierced all of us with the exact same size jewelry--mistake #1. Hours later it started hurting. The next day it began swelling to the point that my stomach was closing in on the gem. I went to see him on Tuesday because he wasn't working Sunday or Monday. He told me my issue was that I was cleaning it too much as if that would cause the amount of swelling, bruising, and puss that I was seeing. He squeezed puss out of it and then took it out and replaced it with a longer bar, saying it would be fine. 2 days passed and it was hurting worse and worse. I couldn't sleep because of the pain, despite taking tons of advil and not touching it at all. I decided to see a different piercer because he had been so dismissive of me the first time. The new piercer told me it had been done originally with a size about 3x too small for my anatomy. He said the piercing was so bad and swelling that it would take up to a year to heal if it did at all. We ended up taking it out and my piercer was appalled that the longer bar was a straight bar that Dave had BENT himself to shape it to a navel piercing. This piercer told me NEVER to go back to Dave again. I spoke to him today and he said he does not issue any refunds and "different piercers have different techniques." There is no way that putting a bent bar into someone's navel is a valid technique. Pictures are below. Dave can say what he wants, but a safely done piercing should never react like that for so long. Do not go here under any circumstances.
