James was a fantastic artist and it was a great experience
Wow. I’ve never really had such a wonderful tattoo experience. Joseph not only spent the day meticulously drawing (right on my arm!) a beautiful traditional rose for me, then tattooed it right on! Took him maybe 2 1/2 hours, so impressive. Then he proceeded to give me a fabulous deal because he enjoyed doing it.…
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 is the best! Shop in general is also one of the most welcoming I’ve ever been in. Everyone is so nice and ready to help. I can’t wait to keep coming back
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!!!
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!!
Great comfortable place with a friendly staff. James is an awesome artist! Relaxed and professional. Nice clean sharp work! Highly recommend!
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!!!
Just got tattooed by Drea. Great experience, Great work! Highly recommended🔥🔥🔥
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.
Seven Swords is 100% worth it. I got my second tattoo done by Joseph and he was an amazing artist to work with. Everyone else in the studio was also very welcoming and kind! Joseph gave me options for sizing, took his time with placement and made sure I was comfortable. I am highly satisfied with how my tattoo of my…
12/10 experience from designing the tattoo to leaving the shop I had a amazing and painless experience. I can’t wait to finish this project
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…
They did very good tattoo work, way much better than I thought. Joseph is really artist, he helped me design the flower and changed according to my advices for several times. Very patient. The final work also very goood.
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!
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.
I went in for my first tattoo- I wanted a couple lines from a hand written card my dad wrote and I was paired with James to do the tattoo for me. He was very friendly and welcoming and made me feel very comfortable for my first tattoo. I also came late to my appointment, and changed the style of the lines last…
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.
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’ve gotten 3 custom AmTrad tattoos from Drea Pappas now and every one has been killer! Most talented and friendliest tattoo artist I’ve had in my 13 years of being inked. Makes me feel heard and respected but brings her own style and recommendations to the table which I greatly appreciate. Not the most affordable…
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…
Had the amazing first tattoo experience, Mike did an amazing job working with me to give me my tattoo.
Love this place! It’s very clean, beautiful, and all the artists there are talented and professional. A year ago I got this wolf off of Benny Beyer’s flash sheet, and yesterday I came back to get this custom Jesus by him. I highly recommend him (as well as all the other artists here - I have many friends who get…
I was a walk in on Friday August 23, 2024 & was beautifuly tatood by Angi. This tattoo is especially important and poinent to me. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Angie Sincerely Hope
AWESOME would be the best word to describe our experience at Seven Swords. Four of us went as walk-ins to get smaller tattoos. Everyone we encountered was so kind and patient, particularly Hunter, Angi, Casey, and Sebastian. They are not only great artists but great humans. One friend had a great deal of anxiety and…
This was my first ever tat and I know I said I’d never get another one but if I did I wojld go back there to get
Had a large arm piece done as my first tattoo at Seven Sword and it was a great experience. I reached out to Angi Rosa through instragram with some anime style art pieces and we agreed upon one of the pieces that I sent. With a $100 deposit that went towards the total price of the art I booked the next Saturday…
Great shop with talented/friendly artists and an awesome vibe. Highly recommend!
Very happy and very exited that i discovered Sebastian and SSTC. Not only he went above and beyond accommodating my request; he provided suggestions, and expert advice that helped me to choose and apply his logic for my tattoo. Super chill dude, easy going atmosphere, amazing group of artists. Could not be more…
Fantastic experience with Drew at Seven Swords Tattoo. This is truly a glowing review for the pleasant, professional, and outstanding work that Drew crafts. I approached Drew with a really interesting fusion of ideas, and he quite literally turned it into a reality for me. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness…
I’ve been here a few times now and every time has been nothing but amazing the artist are amazing and friendly love the vibe here
Great work
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!
Doug is a great artist and even better guy. Was a pleasure to work with him and I’m stoked to have his work on me. I get compliments everywhere I go. Wouldn’t hesitate to get work done by him.
Fantastic shop with really great people. Always have a good experience here!
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!
I visited Seven Swords about a month ago and came as a walk-in. My friend and I were taken by Angi, who was so down-to-earth and attentive to what we wanted. She did an amazing job - designed and did my tattoo - for a really good price. I look forward to coming here again soon!!!
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!
Seven swords is one of the best shops in the US. They are clean, good vibes, friendly and always responsive. Greg the manger is amazing, and Ben did great work on my tattoo piece. The other artists were fun to chat with while seeing them at work too. I look forward to getting more work done here.
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…
Came here for the first time two days ago. Very professional shop. Staff was kind. Ben tatted me. Good work. I will be back for more! 5 stars!
Always professional. The shop is always clean, the artists are knowledgeable, and the tattoos always come out looking great. I’ll keep coming back
Got my second tattoo from Keith today and I couldn’t be more happier with it. Keith is one heck of an artist who is extremely easy to talk to and trust. Going back for a third by Keith soon!
I've been to Seven Swords twice now, and it's a great shop with a fun vibe and really nice people. Both of my tattoos there were done by Keith, and I intend to have him do many more! The final product always exceeds my expectations, and I get so many compliments on them. In addition to being an incredibly talented…
I have been to Seven Swords Tattoo Company twice this year, and would highly recommend this shop to anyone! Reece Farness did a great job on some Japanese inspired filler work on my arm and an anvil on my chest. The shop is a great atmosphere 10/10.
Reece did an amazing job on my tattoo! I gave a reference picture and he met my expectations and beyond! Not even 24 hours later and I’ve gotten several comments of how cool it looks. Can’t wait to get my next tattoo with him!
Mark is the only person I trust to tattoo myself. I brought my sister in law for her first tattoo today as well. Hands down 100% recommend this place and Mark!!
It was amazing experience. All artist specialize in different artistic styles which made me feel comfortable with my choosing and options. Would recommend definitely to anyone with interest in getting tattoos. Was very patient as well!!!!!
I had the best time here. Keith did such an awesome job!! Keith and the rest of the guys working in the shop had me and my friend cracking up. Super cool and casual atmosphere, very welcoming place overall. I can't wait to come back for my next tattoo with Keith. PSA: they don't do piercings 😂
My entire experience with this place was great! They were very responsive when I was emailing them about by appointment & even when I called in to confirm it. The artist that did my tattoo was Ben. He made me feel very comfortable & did my tattoo exactly how I wanted it. He's super down to earth & chill. I will be…
I am happy to recommend Keith at 7 Swords! I scheduled an appointment to get a couple of older tattoos freshened up. By the time Keith was done, they looked better than they ever did! Keith was a great listener but he seemed to intuitively know exactly what I wanted. Keith is a talented professional and a nice…
I cannot believe it took me a year to write a review about this place! I first went here in January/February last year to meet with Reece, one of their tattoo artists at the shop. In the past year, I have had four epic animal tattoos on my arms and across the chest, all thanks to Reece! He is one awesome dude, who…
Reece is an amazing artist
