Located in Philadelphia, this studio offers a wide range of tattoo styles, from watercolor to realism, and has a team of talented artists who are passionate about their craft.

I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Pete after admiring his work on the web. This was my first tattoo and I didn't give him a lot to work with, just the basic idea and colors....and he created a watercolor piece more beautiful than I could ever have hoped for. I can't wait for the next appointment to see what more magic Pete can do.
The studio itself is a cool concept.....the first floor is an art gallery and the tattoo parlor is on the second floor. The place is light, crisp and very neat and clean.
Overall, I don't think I can say enough positive things about my experience or the tattoo from Pete. It's worth the wait to see him!

I would highly recommend! Very clean, friendly, and amazing artists. I just started a sleeve, so I'll be there for multiple sessions, and I can't wait to go back.

Pete is truly impressive. I have been tattooed by Pete a few times in the last year. His ability to transform your thoughts into art is special and unique. Pete pays attention to detail and brings his own interpretation to images. His work is simply beautiful. In addition, Melissa is so responsive and easy to work with when setting up appointments etc. The overall shop is clean and professional. Central Tattoo is an overall experience.

Great place highly recommended. I worked with Rowan who was super nice and patient who came up with a great design. She explained the process and what I should expect. The Place is clean and spacious and very welcoming. I will definitely be back.

It's a house with a big open room basically. Everything is clean and everyone is professional and very talented. This is not a walk in type shop. More of a "you will need to schedule an appointment type" and well worth the wait if you get one. I was lucky enough to squeeze in a week after talking to the artist and they are all artist. If I had to give them a con. It would be that there is no parking. But that's Philadelphia for you! I have gone here twice and not afraid to go again.

I recently got a design and tattoo done by Murrt. He is very patient and understanding in the whole process. This was my first “large” tattoo and I was generally very nervous but I put my whole trust in him.
Let me tell you.. Murrt is a super talented artist! He did 2 design revisions for me in a matter or hours. The whole tattoo session itself wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Currently it’s been a week and the tattoo is healing wonderfully.
My friends and coworkers love the design. Will definitely go back to him for another tattoo!

Horrible communication with my artist Murrt, I’d write weeks before hand for idea’s or questions involving completing my tattoo with no response until hours before my scheduled appointment. Great work he does but I cannot deal with the lack of communication, be warned!

5 stars based off of the website alone. It was very detailed and simple yet classy looking. I love that it shows the artist and their work right away without having to click on anything. Im looking for flower and butterfly tatoos and i found it! Hope their customer service matches the website

I got my first tattoo here. They were very helpful with answering all my questions. Cody was wonderful. He listened to what I wanted and I could not have been happier with my tattoo.
