Maddie was fantastic. Gentle, kind, exceptionally talented. We got along really well, and I'm so glad I was able to have her work on this personally meaningful body art. There were a couple spots that hurt especially bad (remaining areola tissue), so we used a lidocaine spray to help numb the areas a bit. I felt totally justified and also much more comfortable. And the fellow artist who was in that day in January ordered all of us sushi from a local spot. (Unknown, but good.) Bonus: free parking across the tracks. read more

This is a nice shop. I'm 7 tattoos in by all sorts of artists, and Ronak is bout that work. YOU NEED AN APPOINTMENT THIS GUY IS BUSY! As are ALL the other artists in that shop. Simply call ahead, and let the magic happen. These guys are hard working and reliability priced. Parking is 25¢ for 45 minutes, and the trolley drops you off across the street.... Bottom line...just go. Enjoy. Be ready lol! read more

My daughter was interested in signing up with this school. In October 2023, we sent a refundable deposit. The very next day after more consideration we decided it was not a good time and canceled. We were told we would receive a refund check in about 14 days. We never received the check. I have called several times speaking to Josy who said she has reached out to the finance team and their notes said they mailed a check but I still haven't received it. Josy provided me with another phone number which I left several messages and they have not returned my calls. I sent an email in Dec and the reply said they would refund the money to the original form of payment however that still has not happened. The communication with the finance team and getting this resolved has been a horrible experience. Why is it so hard to refund money that was stated in the contract as refundable. read more

Ruby did flower tattoos for my sister and I and they turned out so beautiful and the small line work was literally perfect. It was our first tattoo and she was so nice and explained everything to us so we knew what to expect and told us all the aftercare. We're obsessed read more

I initially heard about Body Art & Soul through one of my piercing-obsessed friends. One of the artists at the shop, Kash, was offering free apprenticeship piercings and I've been wanting to get more piercings for a while now. I messaged her and she gave me her availabilities! I ended up getting a lobe piercing and a helix piercing and I am in love with both! Kash was super sweet and patient, let me look at the markings before piercing, and let me change the placement until I was satisfied. She was also super informative. She told me when to breathe in, when to breathe out, how long it would take to heal, how to properly clean it, and gave me all her info in case I had any issues! read more

Avoid at all costs. Owner cares more branding, marketing, and maximizing profit than educating and training artist. All talk and no substance read more

This was my first tattoo so I was a little nervous and had lots of questions. Maddie Harvey (@madnestattoo) was incredibly patient and professional. I will definitely be back for the next one. read more

Great shop, very clean and you're instantly welcomed when you come in. My artist was Maddie, and she was friendly, professional, and wonderful to work with. She was patient with my questions and diligently worked to get the tattoo at the exact size and placement that I wanted. She was very knowledgeable about aftercare and encouraged me to check in with her to share the progress of my tattoo healing. I would definitely recommend Maddie to anyone looking to get a tattoo. She is a natural artist and has a PASSION for what she does! I also appreciated the energy in the shop. Very easygoing, but everyone was highly skilled and focused. Will hit this shop up again when I have more tattoo requests. Thank you, Maddie! read more

My daughter and I went for tattoos with Sarah. She was extremely professional and did an amazing job with both of us. She was able to incorporate a drawing that my great-grandmother had done when she was a teenager and add to that. Beautiful! read more

I received my dream tattoo at BA&S!!! I always wanted Care Bears and once I had children I knew I would get them! My artist Kash drew the tattoo up and we scheduled an appt. immediately!

Back a second time. Ronak and I might have agreed that I get at tattoo every 6 months...lol. Meanwhile super satisfied with my tattoo. This time I have to comment on the communication. Scheduled out way in advance and this awesome guy kept in touch the entire time. He knows I have a weird work schedule and I am not in town often so I was super grateful about his commitment to fitting me in. Nevertheless I got another great tattoo. He does great with any type of print and we both once again had the best concept for what I wanted. Even got a little flower this time too. I can't say enough how super professional and great this shop is. I definitely will come back again. Sad I missed the Halloween specials but I don't miss a beat on IG. Follow my fave tattoo artist in the Philly area @Ronak_tattoos. See ya in 6 months! ;) read more

My sisters & I had Maddie do a simple matching tattoo on all of us. She is so friendly and talented - seeing some of her other work made me wonder if we should have picked something more complicated, because she is a beautiful artist! The process was easy and she explained every step. It was clear she takes pride in the quality of her work. Definitely recommend! read more

So happy that I chose Body Art & Soul for my first tattoo. Clean shop, friendly & talented artists, and just an overall great atmosphere. Maddie is an amazing artist, and she answered all my questions patiently and explained things in an easy to understand way. I even felt comfortable getting my first tattoo alone because of her warm personality - and light hand! I had such a positive experience and I'm in love with my tattoo. Can't wait to go back for my second, trying to convince my friends to come with me next time because of my experience! read more

My mom and I got tattoos done by Maddie. She was super friendly when setting up the appointment and working out the details of our tattoos. Both of our tattoos turned out amazing and exactly as we wanted them to. I would definitely recommend getting a tattoo done here, and will be going back to Maddie for my next tattoo. read more

If I could give this place one star I could. I could go over every single detail, but the end result is that this tattoo parlor left my tattoo unfinished on purpose. My first artist just ghosted me and then none of the other artists wanted to finish the piece. A piece that was SUPPOSED to cover up some self harm scars, but of course my artist Mila never got that far. I am so unbelievably angry and sad. This was the WORST tattoo experience of my life. Do not go there, do not get tattoos from Mila especially. Ruby was supposed to be my backup artist but she barely communicated with me before deciding to walk away. Absolutely awful and unprofessional and inconsiderate and uuuggghhh. I really got screwed over by this place. Just go somewhere else. read more

I got a tattoo from Dallas, he was great! He really took the time and made sure every detail of my design was perfect and it looks exactly how I wanted it. Everyone there is very friendly and professional, offering water or tea and just a very open atmosphere. read more

Kashmir did two of my tattoos. One of them was for my grandmother who passed away. She did amazing she was able to draw the tattoo envisioned and didn't try to dictate what I should get or where. The shop is very clean and friendly, I will continue to get work done here !!! read more

I spoke to an artist about designing a memorial tattoo. He sketched something up and we set an appointment for the following week. The night before he text me saying the owner cancelled my appointment because they were running a class. I had already prepared childcare but I agreed to reschedule. We set a second appointment and again the night before he text me and cancelled my appointment. He did not reschedule this time and I didn't hear from him again for almost a week. I had to pay childcare cancelation fees and never got my tattoo! Horrible customer service! read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about my first experience at Body Art and Soul Tattoos PA. I can definitely say, this was no experience like no other. I am happy to say Izzy is one for the people. I came in today, after hearing positive words and seeing great work. I came in, talked to Izzy and got exactly what I wanted. I left out of Body Art and Soul Tattoos PA extremely happy with the tattoo I received today from Izzy. He is worth going to for tattoos. read more

OK, seriously: Don't even bother with Philly tattoo shops: Get yourself out to Upper Darby to this awesome shop for your body art! This is admittedly a smallish shop, but it is truly artisanal and the artists are carefully and lovingly trained here. Note that this location is also a body art SCHOOL, and so they pay extra special attention to issues of hygiene, client comfort, and custom designs. It's also a very diverse shop, with a nice balance of ethnicities and male-female artists. I've had 4 tattoos done by a young woman named Amelia; just a fantastic talent! I get compliments on my ink, like, everywhere -- not that that's all that important to me, but it's nice to know! I'm gonna get another piece by Ronak, whose work with floral designs just blows my mind. Love the vibe here, love the people. You will NOT be disappointed!!!! read more

I've been in the shop multiple times and it's a nice experience each time! The staff are all very kind and welcoming, and they know what they're talking about when it comes to sanitation. Always clean there. The shop itself is a little small but still plenty of space to get a tattoo/piercing and have privacy for it. The artwork comes out impeccable each and every time because this shop is also a school for training upcoming artists instead of making them take the usually unhelpful, waste of a time, traditional apprentice route. The lead staff do not let any students become certified until they are beyond perfect! No exceptions, so feel safe coming here :) read more
