thanks

Gemini Tattoo on Philmont Ave. right off of Street Rd near Whiskey Tango. The shop is super clean and the artists are rad. I had guy named Adam finish my half sleeve. he does really nice work.

I went to Mean Street on Street Road for my second. Guys are really cool, the place is reaslly clean and they do great work. My cousin gets all of his work done there, too. I got my first at Jaybird's. They're clean, too, and a little more experienced, but way overpriced in my opinion.

i went to fred at street road tattoo. he is cool as **** and real particular about his work and setup. its a clean shop and all the artists there seem pretty cool. he also gave me a great price for mine and a bunch of my friends have gone there too.

i also went to Gemini..had an asian girl Masami do an arm piece on me.. took 12 hours total, 3 sittings. As stated very clean shop, and the shop owner Kier is a stand up dude, as well as Adam and whoever else works there now-a-days.

Best tattoos in northeast Philly are at Deep Six Labs on grant ave and the Blvd. 4 amazing artists, but you'll pay the price and you'll probably wait months for an appointment.

are you talking about mean street tattoo? Thats on Street road near Clubhouse diner and nifty fifties....there is also another one on street road a little bit down, don;t know the name though. They are only a few blocks apart.

[omgjacki]

There's another one called Street Road.

[enigma]

Got mine from kevin at studio one, clean shop, good artists, and the "newest" guy there has been there since 01.

im trying to get something like this on mu tricep if that helps

[Got Insulin?]

I went to Tattoos by Bird right on Bristol Pike. Dude was super cool, and from what I gathered, pretty good price wise, and is a pretty killer artist. Shop is cool, as long as you don't mind being stared down by his 16' reticulated Python.

i got my tatoo at street road tatoos drunk as **** i just came back from the casino and drank a few more at the diner and i somehow wound up across the street there and got a big ass tatoo in old english lol

I have most of my body tattooed...so I may have a little insight. LOL I have too many friends who own different shops to go anywhere else. I will say however, if you can get right in without any wait because they're not booked, it's probably because they're not good. If you have to wait a month or two...or three, it's because everyone wants to go there because they ARE good. Of course that's a generalization, but 99% correct.

My first two were done by amateur artists, and the results are as you would imagine, though not terrible. My latest was done at Bristol Tattoo Studio on Route 13, owned by Little Nicky. The price seemed a touch high but I am pretty happy with his work. I've always heard great things about the Inkwell in Southampton and a friend of mine is raving about Electric Rembrandt. Not sure where that is though.

I've had all of my work (mach sleeve and several randoms) done by Wizards in West Chester PA on Walnut St. It has since moved and I am not 100% sure where the new location is. Price was a little high but I was never unhappy with the work I had done and it was an extemely clean shop. I am planning to get another tattoo pretty soon and have always heard great things about extreme ink in west cheser on high street, so i think i may stop in and take a look at their artwork.

how much do they charge? past works there doesnt he? one of my fav artist.

also as mentioned in every other thread, mercury tattoos in glenside, pretty cool people great artist, but its 125 an hour, which is worth it since it is permanent

[DoubleOughtCel]

Got my first done at Jaybirds in Bristol by Jaybirds daughter......I regret that one. It's not the best shading I could've gotten, but I paid a fair price. I got my 2nd one at Electric Rembrandt in Southampton. The guy Radar did it, its just a passage, but his artwork is sick. I plan to have Radar do my sleeve.

thats why im afraid to get a tattoo, i couldnt trust anyone not to mess up, like said above, if there is a wait, its usually a good place. i know mercury has a 3 month to year wait, sometimes even a wait to get a drawing or talk to someone, thats only for serious stuff like sleeves. what u showed looks simple and since they can get it done in 1 or 2 appointments, u shouldnt have more than a month wait i believe.

yup Past works there, KES did, dont know if he still. Paul Acker (AMAZING portait artist and character artist, check out their site for some of his work), and Mike Hill another all-around good artist. But Pastor is def on another level.

Pastor has a myspace where he has a lot of his tattoo pics posted. As far as pricing, I'm not sure, but dude is that good and in high demand so I'm surew its above average.
