2nd time going to Joseph for a tattoo and he did such a great job. Appointment was super easy to book, and he did an exceptional job accommodating me and the request I wanted for my tattoo. Will be back for future tattoos with Joseph!
Jane was professional and extremely talented! So happy I got to work with her. Ill be back for more, that's for sure!
Thank you so much to Sebastian! I appreciate your artwork greatly. You also was very patient as I was a first time customer getting my first tattoo. Definitely recommend this place absolutely!
Drea is awesome, I’ve done 3 pieces with her so far and go out of my way to book with her every time I’m in Philly! She is always prepared with art before I even get there, multiple sizes to test fit… just a total professional and amazing artist! I’ve worked with a bunch of artists over the years and she is absolutely top notch!!!
Sebastian took my original idea - which wasn’t possible given the size of my arm and transformed it into a phenomenal alternative. His script and linework are incredibly crisp and clean. I couldn’t be happier with the result.
I recently came into the shop for a walk-in tattoo and had a great experience! The staff were friendly, attentive, patient, and kind. The tattoo turned out great and I’m very happy with my results. I would highly recommend getting tattooed here!!
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've been tattooed at this shop twice now and each experience more pleasant than the last. Most recently I sat with Sebastian and from consult to finished product it was one of the warmest and most professional experiences I've had with an artist to date as a heavily tattooed girlie. This shop is clean,…
Had a great time getting tattooed by Joseph! He was extremely patient and meticulous every step of the way, from design to placement to finishing touches. The shop is clean, welcoming, and everyone was friendly.
Joseph was great! He was able to get me in same day for my eagle tattoo. He did such a great job!! Will be booking again soon for my future tattoos!!
Had a great experience today. Very clean and lots of room inside. Friendly staff and comfy chairs. Had an appointment with Jane and she is an awesome person. Would definitely recommend and will be going back!
Drea was great and accommodating to any changes I wanted to make. She has a good eye for color and style and really made my dream tattoo come true!
Just got tattooed by Drea. Great experience, Great work! Highly recommended🔥🔥🔥
Drea is super talented!
Seven Swords is truly top tier! So friendly, accommodating and professional. My artist was Jane and she did an INCREDIBLE job! I will be going back to her for any future work I'll be getting.
Drea is awesome! she was super fast while producing superb work, and i didn't once feel uncomfortable like i have in many shops. the receptionist who's name i did not catch was also very kind. Can't wait to get more of Dreas work!
I got tattooed by James yesterday and had a great experience. The piece came out awesome and the quality of the work really shows. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, answered my questions, and made sure everything looked right before starting. The shop was super clean and had a really professional vibe,…
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…
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!
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.
This place is amazing. I am absolutely coming here for my next several tattoos. The vibes are great and the artists are amazing. 10/10
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.
Baby’s first tattoo done by Jane! Had a great time, love the work, and will be coming back!
Fun, kind, knowledgeable, and talented. Personable and easy to work with. Makes you feel comfortable asking questions and making changes!
Mark is such an awesome artist! Really talented. I compared artwork for weeks before deciding to go with him and I am soooo glad I did.
Absolutely amazing experience! Sebastian incredibly friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I wanted something simple and he just made me feel very comfortable. His work is truly outstanding—clean lines, beautiful detail, and exactly what I envisioned (even better!). You can tell…
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…
Marks done 99% of my tattoo work and no matter the style he’s an absolute stud. Couldn’t recommend him more
James Padelt did a great job!
Awesome place every one was super cool
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!
Got a tattoo from Reece in Feb 2023. Seven Swords is a great shop, always clean and great vibe. Such a fantastic artist and guy. Gave him free reign to make a design that adds on to a previous tattoo and he did a fantastic job. Super detail oriented artist and a perfectionist. Already planning on coming back for additional tattoos from Reece in the future!
Got my first tattoo here a few years ago and had a great experience! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The shop has a professional but laid-back feel that was comforting for a first-time tattooee :)
Great experience! Some friends and I went in for walk-ins and everyone was really nice and relaxed. Benny was my artist and he was super meticulous and patient with me. He walked me through the process from beginning to end—and thankfully, not only am I happy with the experience I had, but I’m very happy with my first tattoo!
Called the day of for a flash tattoo and got set up with Angi. She was an great artist and down to earth. Customer service was top notch and price was reasonable. Angi is great and the shop is awesome for having her!
I love Seven Swords Tattoo Company -- they all do amazing work but in particular, I wanna give Makayla a shoutout for the pieces she's done for me. I have gone in for several tattoos with Makayla, she does really great bold, neo-Traditional tattoos with her own unique style and I can't be more pleased with the…
