Drea and Jane made me and my fiancés first tattoo experience really good and their work is great. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go again 🫶🏾
Jane was fantastic! Her drawings were exactly what I was looking for, the scheduling process was smooth, and the overall experience was easy and enjoyable.
Kirsten was awesome and super professional, her designs matched my ideas perfectly and the whole studio was very welcoming! Would definitely come again.
Kirsten was extremely precise in her work. She was personable and easy to collaborate and communicate with. This was my first tattoo and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I look forward to going back to her for more pieces in the future!
Great place for a quick walk in and Andy is the best
Kirsten was so so great and thoughtful!! I will definitely be rebooking with her for any future tattoos
What a beautiful shop! I was in town for the night from DC and found the shop online last minute. So glad I did! Andy did a beautiful job on the knuckle tattoos I had been thinking of getting for awhile. Would highly recommend this artist and studio if you are in Philly! Thanks again <3
Drea and the SSTC were great to work with on the design of my tattoo and the ink job itself.
Came in as a walk in and Andy nailed my tattoo. Staff was friendly, space was nice, I’ll be back!
Jane did an absolutely amazing job on my tattoo. We were a large walk in group from out of town and she not only did great work, she also was entertaining and very knowledgeable. Would totally see her again.
Couldn’t have had a better tattoo experience. My tattoo came out better than expected. I would recommend James to anyone !
Had a great experience at Seven Swords Tattoo! James was great - very knowledgeable, friendly and did a great job! Highly recommend!
I had Joseph as my artist and he did an unbelievable job with my tattoo! It was my first tattoo and I am already hooked and thinking of what I want to get next
I was shaking like a leaf entering into the shop. Afraid it would hurt terribly. Afterwards I was so relaxed. Joseph was so gentle and patience in doing my tattoo. My tattoo was done perfectly. Better than the picture I presented. Great job!! I will be back!!
This was my first tattoo. While I choose a simple design, I am so happy I went to Seven Swords and worked with Drea. Drea was very helpful and cared so much about the details, making me feel comfortable with the whole process. I not only will use Drea again for any future tattoos, but I will suggest anyone wanting a great experience to go to her.
I went in for a walk in. To get a fine line grey wash tattoo for my animals and Andy did more then I could have imagined. He really took his time and made everything perfect. Highly recommend!!!
Great atmosphere and people and Jane did a great job on my tattoo, has a great personality and I'll be coming back for more!
Jane did an amazing job on my tattoo! It is the best version of my favorite band’s logo I have seen!
Amazing first experience. I went in with the expectations of being in pain for my first time but Jane (One of the many amazing artists on their roster) completely talked with me through the process and completed it in good time. Cozy, clean, reasonable prices, hydration services to fuel you before the process & from…
James is literally the Picasso of Philadelphia

James was awesome! Very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!
Olivia did an AMAZING job!!! So so so happy with how my tattoo turned out. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire session and time just flew by. The whole crew here is super friendly and welcome and the entire shop is just a vibe. First time here and it was a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend :)
I had an amazing appointment at Seven Swords Tattoo with Sebastian! He made the experience smooth, communicated well and designed a beautiful piece! I will definitely be returning! 😁
Great experience, great staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. The shop is bright and clean. My tattoo artist James was so nice and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be returning.
From initial inquiry to my tattoo appointment, Olivia and Seven Swords were amazing to work with. Easy systems to book and communicate, solid pricing and location and everyone was super friendly throughout. Most importantly, the incredible artwork I now have on my body is just stunning! I can’t wait for strangers to…
James was so cool to work with! We came in on a Saturday for a walk in with no appointment, during Flower Show in Philly and they had time to fit in my partner and myself for a small like tattoo that made the perfect end to our day trip to visit the city. Shop was cozy, super clean and a cool vibe. James- thanks…
Seven Swords is a great place to get tatted. It’s very clean and my artist James was awesome with my tattoo. I sent him my concept not only did he come up with something cool, it was in budget too! So come check them out! You won’t be disappointed!
I have a great experience here. Drea is wonderful and very patient. You can tell she are very passionate about her work. 10/10 would recommend. I will definitely be coming back.
I am so happy with the fine line tattoo I got in honor of my dog, Lily. Olivia was so super sweet and easy to work with and I felt very confident that she was going to give me the perfect fine line tattoo. The whole experience at Seven Swords was great and I would absolutely recommend this studio and specifically…
My second time going to Sebastian at Seven Swords. Always nice, clean, friendly and makes sure the placement is right. Great dude okay pricing, could be less but with the work and dedication not to bad.
Olivia is amazing! Her work is so detailed. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time and made sure to check in with me frequently. The shop was clean, professional, and all of the staff were super nice. They have so many artists there. You can find an expert to get whatever style you’re looking for in the shop!
I can’t recommend Seven Swords enough! I was tattooed by the incredibly talented Olivia this afternoon and am thrilled with my new tattoo. I sent Olivia my inspiration and she came up with the most beautiful design. She helped me figure out the placement and was happy to tweak the design to my liking but honestly we…
Olive and Sebastian were so nice. They accommodated a last minute appointment for 4 of us. Everyone is in love with their new tattoos. Thank you!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Olivia was incredibly caring and gentle and I am SO pleased with the final result. They really understood my idea and made it come to life!
Always come in to see James when I want more work done on my arms. He’s always professional and super considerate. You can tell he cares about what he does, and the quality has yet to disappoint.
Walked in to see if they had time to do a tattoo while I was in town. The shop was very clean and the staff was amazing. Joesph drew up the design and it was perfect. He has great attention to detail and made me feel at home. Highly recommend seven swords tattoo.
Fun, kind, knowledgeable, and talented. Personable and easy to work with. Makes you feel comfortable asking questions and making changes!
Friendly and welcoming environment. Sebastian is awesome and did a great job! Tattoo looks better than I could have imagined.
Sebastian was wonderful to work with, was patient with my obsessive compulsive nature, and his work speaks for itself. My ink is grayscale, but the shading is masterful and I am very pleased with the results.
Drea was incredible and the tattoos came out perfect
The Young Man that gave me my tattoo of an Owl was extremely pleasant and fun to talk to. He was very tentatively in listening how I wanted my tattoo to look and executed. I will be back to see him for a Spider Tattoo. I want him to know that I thank him Dearly.
Go see Sebastian! - He was super chill, communicative, helpful and gave me a tattoo I can’t stop looking at! Def coming back for more tats in the future!
I LOVE my new tattoo! Joseph took my idea and made it a masterpiece! Everyone was very nice and the place is immaculate. Im looking forward to finishing it up and getting my next one at Seven Swords Tattoo in Philadelphia PA
I had an amazing experience at Seven Swords Tattoo Company. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly nice and professional. The shop has a great vibe—clean, comfortable, and welcoming. My artist, James Padlet, did an outstanding job on my tattoo. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, gave helpful…
Absolutely loved my experience here! I wasn’t sure if the tattoo I had in mind would need an appointment or not, so I called ahead and the lovely lady on the phone advised me to do a walk-in. Walked in the next day and the process was quick, efficient, and fun. Got there around 1:45 and walked out by 3. Drea was my…
Doug Hand tattooed me and my cousin and was able to accommodate us together for tattoos for our grandmother. It was a super chill environment, and Doug had great ideas to help this piece mix in with our individual existing work. 10/10, will be back. Thanks!
I’ve been going to Seven Swords ever since Doug started, and I can say it’s the best tattoo experience I’ve had. Not only is Doug a phenomenal artist, the space is welcoming and everything is extremely clean. Can’t wait for my next appointment!
