I did my first tattoo ever with Robert. I gave him my idea and he elaborated and customized my idea turning into a unique piece of art. He was professional and considerate. I can't recommend him enough and would totally go back for my second tattoo! Read Less

Went with my husband for his first tattoo and my fourth. Robert is an outrageously talented artist! He worked up custom pieces for both of us that were so impressive and detailed. The shop is clean, friendly, and comfortable, and prices were very reasonable. Everybody took great care of us. Will definitely be back for future pieces. Read Less

Had a really awesome experience here with Anna! Love my tattoo and the shop was awesome; clean, cool, and definitely interesting. Parking was easy to find and I didn't feel rushed. As a fat queer person, I have had some negative experiences with other tattoo studios, I'm so glad to have found a great place full of feminists and allies. Read Less

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! Read Less

Where do I even begin? I'm an interloper in the area and I wanted to get a tattoo covered. I told the artist what I wanted and they took my idea from vision to reality. The artist was extremely professional (even when I was squirming) and the tattoo, for the size, was cost effective. This was one of my best tattoo experiences and I cannot thank the shop enough.

Anna did my tattoo and I absolutely love it so much I came in with some references of a traditional female portrait and she emailed me some sketches within the week and let me tweak a few things before my appointment came around she also colored in a previous tattoo I had so beautifully and everything was so reasonably priced for the amazing quality of work my parents were with me in the city for the weekend and everyone in the shop was so kind with them just hanging around watching me get the tat done it was a great experience talking to Anna she is a great conversationalist and it kept me at ease the entire time I would 100% recommend frequency and come back here for another tattoo when I'm in town again Read Less

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! Read Less

A wonderful tattoo shop with excellent artists, a welcoming atmosphere, (not hipster, but clean and quirky), and great prices. You are in good, trustworthy hands with John Howie and his crack team at Frequency - I have (and get) nothing but love for the many tattoos they've given me. Read Less

I heard great things about this shop so I'd thought I would go to frequency to see what they could do. I have been to several artists that had no real solution for my cover up because it was dark script. Robert took the time to talk to me , drew out the piece and sent it over to my email the day before. He did an amazing job and I'm already on his book for the next appointment. Talented artists , good vibes and true artists. Thanks so much! Read Less

I've been getting tattooed by Justin Turkus for a few years now and he is a very talented artist. I would recommend him to anyone. I've also seen the work from the other artists here and they are all very talented. This place is also spacious and clean. Read Less

Booked with Robert for a detailed forearm piece after hearing good things from several friends who had pieces done by him- but the experience I had greatly exceeded my expectations. I interacted mostly with Robert but all the staff were welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere in the shop is so comfortable any nerves I had walking in were immediately calmed. There is friendly conversation between artists and clients throughout the whole shop, there were often times during my appointments where everyone in the shop laughed and talked all together. The shop is very clean, and each artist has a personalized space making it clear they are passionate about their art. While the atmosphere was always comfortable it was also very professional at all times. I never felt like I was being cared for by amateurs, or that a single detail was being overlooked. This is a clean, friendly, professional shop with great artists ready to work with you to create something beautiful on your skin. I will definitely go here first before any other shop for my future tattoos. Read Less

Artists are very good at following stencils. Cool designs. However, the condescending and pretentious behavior of the staff is too much. If you over look their unfriendly and condescending behavior, this is a decent place to get a tattoo. Read Less

Had my first ever tattoo done by Anna and it was a great experience from start to finish! The final product is even better than I imagined, and I couldn't be happier- plus it's reassuring that they offer free touch-ups within a certain time period. I'm already thinking of ideas for my next tattoo, as I'm sure I'll be back to this shop for a future piece! Read Less

Had my first tattoo done here and I couldn't recommend it any more. Anna did a great job of having a few different options of what I was looking for, then made me comfortable by keeping me updated on everything she was doing. Clean, friendly shop. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Philly area. Read Less

Called for availability walk in, the girl that answered the phone was very Rude! Showed lack of interest toward a new customer acted deff basically a lazy person. If you don't like your job get a new one! Will never be coming in here. Shows what kind of service you'll be getting. No good! Read Less

Had a perfect experience with this shop! The environment is comfortable and all procedures are safe and professional. I got my first tattoo done by Justin (Turkus) and I'm absolutely in love with it. He's truly a great artist, friendly, and great at communicating his advice while also working with your interests. Highly recommend and will be coming here in the future for other work! Read Less

The crew at Frequency Tattoo are great! They are very personable and take the time to perfect your tattoo before the appointment. They really value your input and want you to be pleased with your tattoo. I got mine done at the Philadelphia Tattoo Convention, and I am definitely planning on getting another by Justin at the shop soon. I HIGHLY recommend! Read Less

If I could rate them higher, I would. John, David and Anna are the nicest, warmest people that one can meet. That they are so personable and make you feel extremely comfortable is fantastic!I got a pocket clock tattoo from John which is an amazing piece of art! Highlights of my experience:-1. Extremely welcoming atmosphere in the shop2. Clean and extremely hygienic!3. Fun conversations with the artists 4. John has a feather like touch, the session was a breeze! 5. Good explanation of the aftercare process and I got a few bar recommendations too!! :)When I have the next idea of what I want to get, I know I am going back here only! Read Less

After many years of searching I have finally found my home town tattoo shop! What an amazing place! My brother, best friend, and I all went to get tattooed by Ian and each one turned out so well! Such a comfortable and great environment with great work. Dave was there too doing some killer work. If you want some amazing work this is the place to go! Read Less
