“Requested style: Clay was able to replicate exactly what I wanted within just a few minutes of sending it over to him. He even recommended size that would look the best for the placement.

Cleanliness: Extremely clean and hygienic!

Stylist: Clay was awesome! This was my first tattoo. I felt very comfortable with him. He made sure to tell me he wasn’t in a hurry and we could take a break at any point in time if the pain was too much. I will be back to clay for my next tattoo for sure!“

“Jerri was an absolute legend! Quick, easy and good prices. I brought my boomer mom and aunt to get their ears pierced and we were met with nothing but good vibes, an incredibly clean studio and lots of patience. This was the first time my mom and aunt have ever been in a tattoo parlor before, and they walked away wanting to bring their friends back and recommending this place. An all around great experience!“

“Hadn't gotten a tattoo in more than 10 years and once I got started I wanted to do more. Kyle was already great in helping with the design of the tattoo and he gave me good advice about how to proceed with expanding my existing tattoos and told me to come back in a few weeks to fill out the tattoo he just did and told me to figure out what others designs I might want to explore getting. Great vibe and helpful demeanor!“

“30 years ago, I walked into this shop as an 18 year old that just got out of Boot Camp. I had been stationed at the Philadelphia Navy Ship Yard, and my first night out on my own…. I found Philadelphia Eddies. After hanging out with a few of the artists and customers for a couple of hours I made an appointment with Chris Henry, who the very next day gave me my first tattoo.

In my time in the Navy stationed in Philadelphia, I got 3 tattoos from Philadelphia Eddies.

Last week I made it back to Philadelphia for the first time since I was stationed there. While I was excited about going to Eddies to get some ink, I was nervous about it because I knew it would be completely different people than I knew 30 years ago. I called both locations on 4th street, and I was really disappointed with the response that I got from the other shop a few doors down that flys the Philadelphia Eddies flag, they were short, and seemed put out to even talk to me about what I wanted done, like they just didn’t care.

I decided to stop into this shop just to reminisce a little. There we were meet by Kelly, who was AWESOME. She took the time to hear my stories about my history in the shop, and was absolutely interested in our business. She introduced us to Jason, who did a new tattoo for me. We were so impressed with these two that my Girlfriend had Jason do one for her too.

Thank you both for making our experience the best possible.“

“This being my second body modification ever, the experience here has eclipsed my prior experience and set a new standard for what I can and should expect with services like these!
The thorough explanations, the recommendations and the process were all comforting step in getting this done & I cannot stress enough the value of insight and education I was given for my piercing! The rates and discounts are phenomenal, I genuinely feel I got more than my money's worth with information and aftercare advice alone! To say I'll be back is redundant; it's absolutely a given for me personally but if you're someone who values the work being done well, you've found it. I'm proud to say I've found a "spot" to get future work done, so pop in and get ready for an experience!

Specialties: My medical needs and history were taken to account in ways even hospitals tend to neglect, the word professional comes to mind and it's italicized when I say it!

Cleanliness: Sterilized, sanitized, but comfortable and the place smelled relaxing! Like if you had the comfort of a spa in a tattoo shop with the cleanliness of a surgery room because it's treated with that kind of logic and rightfully so!“

“Went to the Baker Street Tattoo, love it. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and very helpful.

Cleanliness: Very clean, saw all the equipment being sanitized and prepared.

Stylist: I had Joe Cat as my piercer he was very nice, was extremely helpful, and friendly.“

“I have gotten 8 of my 9 tattoos from Richie, and just got my 9th a little over two weeks ago. I have been so happy with everything he has done for me that I cannot believe I'm just now thinking of leaving a raving review for him!
Richie is so responsive and really takes into account your vision for your tattoos. Every tattoo I've gotten has meant something to me or told a story of my life I some symbolic way. I'll admit that when I turned 18, I wasn't as "original" with my ideas... But over the years, as my ideashit closer to home, Richie did such a great job incorporating all of my desires in the pieces. I've gotten writing, B&W, and then watercolor for my last 3, most meaningful ones. I wasn't even expecting him to do as much as he has done on each tattoo and I always leave surprised, thankful, amazed, and in awe of the pieces he does for me! Highly recommend.

I also wanted to make note that Taylor is an AMAZING artist as well and is truly becoming an insane tattoo artist!

These two are so talented, artistic, and the sweetest souls to hang with!

Take my word for it and stop in for a visit, you won't regret it!

Requested style: The most recent was a red Phoenix "rising from the ashes" with a geometric aspect. I wanted it to be unique, for him to take multiple ideas and mesh them together to match what I was picturing. It came out better than I could mesh together in my own head, and I'm so happy with the results and have gotten dozens of compliments! I would share a picture if it would give me the option, not sure how others are doing it!

Cleanliness: I never worry about contamination or lack of cleanliness here! Definitely not your average rinky dink shop.

Stylist: Loyal customer to Richie!“

“Very professional staff from beginning to end. Thank you so much!!! I love my new tattoo! Mine tattoo is the top arm and my boyfriend's second. Again thank Olde City Tattoo for a great experience.“

“I highly recommend this clean and friendly tattoo studio. It’s best to join the wait list. You can go home or wander around the cute neighborhood until they are ready for you. I had Barrett and he was wonderful and listened to what I wanted done. I recommend this to friends and I will go back for sure.

Cleanliness: Super clean!

Stylist: Barrett was my tattoo artist and he was wonderful. Super kind and listened with what I wanted. I didn’t feel rushed at all.“

“Masami is amazing!!! Great design and over two years of work I am thrilled with the result. The best artist around and a super cool. woman to talk with during the sessions, Thanks!!!Services: Tattoos“

“From the time I walked in, I was thoroughly impressed. I'm very happy with the tattoo that I got and I can't wait to come back for my next one!

Stylist: Don Juan took my idea and designed an awesome tattoo!“

“Kai did my piercing and she was the best she took her time and very professional and made me feel comfortable“

“Runic Tattoo in Newtown Square deserves more than just a shoutout; it's a full-on 5-star recommendation from me, especially because of Peter. His work is nothing short of spectacular. Talking about precision, his lines are so sharp and accurate. He's not just a tattoo artist; he's an artist through and through. The level of detail and creativity he brings to each design is mind-blowing. Whether you're looking for something intricate or simple, Peter's work stands out. It's not just the quality of the tattoos that makes the experience memorable; it's the welcoming atmosphere and the professional, yet friendly vibe that Peter and the rest of the Runic Tattoo team provide. They make sure you're comfortable and confident in your tattoo choice. If you're in or around Newtown Square and considering a tattoo, Peter at Runic Tattoo is your go-to.“
